Yellow color in mail.
« on: July 24, 2011, 03:17:27 PM »
Hi -
I have Vista Home Basic  32 bit.  I think my mail is Yahoo mail.  I recently changed from Internet Explorer 7 to Internet Explorer 8.
Since that time when I go to mail and click on anything (inbox, etc.) a yellow strip appears behind what I click on.  This makes the
item I am clicking on very hard to read.  Can I get rid of the yellow strip or at least change it to another color.   Thank for help.

    Usually a yellow strip associated with an open e-mail message contains some form of warning or advisory. It is not normally covering a part of the message but contains it's own message offering you information and usually an option to DO something. Is that the type of situation you are talking about?truenorth

    Thanks for the reply.  I can't see any type of action with the yellow stripe.   For instance when I am getting ready to read my mail I click on "inbox" and the inbox turns yellow.  When the mail comes up I click on the subject of the mail to bring it up so that I can read it.  When I do that the subject line turns yellow.  It is like it is being highlighted.  However it is hard to read through the yellow.

      Ok that is certainly different to what i was relating to. I am not familiar with that phenomenon. Others may be. Let us wait and see. truenorth

      Have you tried clicking Options/Colors on the far right side of your Yahoo account page? Try hitting refresh or compatibility view near the URL search box while on Ymail. Have you tried also checking Ymail on other browsers?

      Have you tried changing the yahoo mail's theme to a different one, something that's more readable.

      The yahoo mail I have is the latest version upgraded, and I have set to a green theme which is pretty easy to read with.

      This is assuming that's where the yellow you mention is coming from.

      Hi -
      Thanks to the suggestions.  I checked on options and then themes.  I selected "steel" because I could read it good.  You guys
      sure are a help to me.  I'm learning.        Mark this problem solved.       Bob
