    What Does This Mean? (Pop-up in Yahoo)
    « on: August 15, 2011, 04:26:27 PM »
    I opened Yahoo mail and immediately got this pop-up.
    I cropped the screen print as best as I could.
    Can anybody tell me what the message means?

    Why did Yahoo Mail go Flash?  It is not that stable.

    Couldn't agree more...
    Maybe for their new features such as IM...which flash isn't neccessary for anyway...
    Honestly i don't understand much of what they do.

    Flash? I upgraded to the "new" Yahoo Mail a few months ago, and it ain't Flash.

    Maybe it's geo-located? Because the Irish version definitely doesn't use Flash. Possibly the US version does...

      Yahoo says it is:  http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/technical/browser-06.html
      If so, it's the first case of Flash use I've seen where you can't determine that Flash is being used by right clicking on a part of the page where Flash is in use.  For example, right click on any web page ad based on Flash and you'll see the version of Flash Player stated in the right click menu. 

      I can see that Yahoo! Mail often places Flash-based ads on the Mail page.  But, I can't see any indication Flash is actually in the Mail functionality.  Can someone shed some light on this?

      Yeah, you're right. Even if it was embedded using a script or other method it would still could up as Flash on right clicking.

      It must be, because the link says US.  It's terrible  Most of the time when clicking on saved folders, it won't display emails, page refresh doesn't work.  Clicking on the Yahoo Toolbar "Mail" will then allow folder contents display for a while.  This occurs in IE8 & FF on different computers.  It was beta for a while until it went final a month ago, now no choice.

      This is the worst Yahoo email "upgrade" ever.

      It's Javascript, can be changed back to Classic.
      http://www.techtip.org/how-to-switch-back-to-yahoo-classic-mail/

      For FIREFOX: Open TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT, click on "DISABLE
      JAVASCRIPT". Now hit F5 to refresh the page while you are in Yahoo!
      email in order to switch back... In the options, click (PERMANENT) to
      switch back to YAHOO! Classic. DO NOT click the "ONE TIME ONLY" option.

      IMPORTANT: Turn JAVASCRIPT back ON once you have your "CLASSIC" account back.
