Odd Problem Posting With Yahoo Mail, Other Sites

[lordoftheplat]

i have seen that before and sometimes when i surf the net like normal web pages that also happens it might be because of the explorer u use
like if u go on google
and wat if google only supports IE7 and above
and u have IE6 that might happen
but im not sure

Create a Hotmail account or any other email account and try to create a message. Are you typing in English or in boxes?

English of course....
How would creating a Hotmail account help?

I mean like is the problem only with yahoo mail or with others too.

[fullbug]

Others too, but Yahoo is the biggest problem right now, cant send or get email with this going on....

If you just want to be able to use Yahoo email, here is an idea:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/
and add Yahoo support:
http://webmail.mozdev.org/

This doesn't fix whatever has caused your current problem with some websites not allowing you to type text in a readable font.
But it should get you access to your email.  

It is a round-about way of solving your problem -  but it may have other advantages for you.     First, you just may like it better.  
I do.  So do many others.

You may have other email accounts that you can access with this free software too.   Makes it fast, quick, and easy to check email.
In other words,  I don't have to go to sites like yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com,  etc.,   to check email anymore.

I rarely use yahoo email,   but I check it occasionally.   And I have no idea how long it has been since I last visited the website.  



Just something to consider.....

If you have recently upgraded to the newest version of Yahoo, remove it and reinstall your older version.

Thax for the suggestion, but that still doesnt tell me whats causing it to do in the the first place, I need to get to the root of the problem.....

Yep -  my idea does not do that.  

If I were you,  I'd be looking to Rob Pomeroy's reply -  #10 in this thread.   About deleting and re-installing a font.

After you get it figured out and fixed though,  I still recommend using
Thunderbird.          I bet you find you like it.

By the way -  what browser are you using when you get that kind of display?   IE?

Tried any other browser?       What happens?

[fullbug]

It does it both with IE and Firefox, if that helps....

There's nothing to install, is there?  I believe anyone can go to www.yahoo.com and create a free email account.  The mail is accessed via a web browser; no other software is required.

If Yahoo messenger is also in use, it can throw a sprag in the spokes. I should have been more specific.

[fullbug]

sprag in the spokes? Thats a new one, lol.....
I dont know how else to say this, nothing is running when I use it, not Messenger, not anything, period.....
But thanx to all who are trying to help....

It's a TEXTAREA box, which traditionally uses a proportionally-spaced font, e.g. Courier New.  Have you deleted that font?  It may be corrupted, so you could try deleting and re-installing it.

Thanx, will give that a shot....

[fullbug]

Still wont work, there has got to be a reason for this, I cant get emails anymore, please someone help....
