I didn't change any settings, it just stopped working one day.  I have tried emailing yahoo for help and they don't know what the problem is and I have tried the compose email in text thing and that didn't work either, it was already set that way.  Help?

Ok I understand\nClean your history and delete all cookies from internet options menu.\n\nNext step, download opera 8.5 and use this browser if the problem exists afterwards.\n\nInstall Internet explorer 7 if you like.\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/jcbroogley

contact yahoo customer service and label your email URGENT. That's really weird, it must be a bug.\n\n.. unless you've been uploading nude photos or something, and they got upset!

I'm not sure what the problem could be, but try the obvious first:\nrestart your computer (shut down completely, wait for 5 seconds and restart it, don't just use the restart option). I fthat doesn't work, try reinstalling the software (this does not delete the contacts because they should be saved on the yahoo servers, not on your computer). If this doesn't work then I don't know what's going to help, You might want to go directly to them and ask but it might take time before they answer.\n\nGoodl luck

I am having the same problem. Seems yahoo did something to their system and have not resolved the problem as of yet. They just keep sending me garbage to make me feel better. It has been 4 weeks now since I have been able to get into chat or get my web cam to work and they are too stupid to figure out what is wrong. Have you tried contacting them? Go into the help pages and you can contact them through customer care. Good luck and if you get yours solved first, tell me how you did it.

I had this problem too. Try deleting the current version of Yahoo that you have. DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS. Re-download Yahoo. Turn the antivirus back on and scan the program you downloaded. Then run the program again. It 'should' work.

(Update following posting of 'Additional Information' by the inquirer)\n\nThis really is a wierd situation. It's hard to tell whether this is a problem with your account, or your computer browser setting.\nTo figure this out, you could do the following: -\n - get a friend to sign in to Yahoo Message Boards using your computer\n\n- Create another account with Yahoo and see if the problem persists.\n\nIf it is the first case, then there's definitely something not quite right with your browser settings. \n\nHope this helps\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nCould give more information on which type of browser you are using, (internet explorer, or Firefox/Mozilla), and if you have enabled Javascript please?\n\n(The commonst cause could be the latter - you haven't enabled javascrpt to run)

Well if u r using any firewall then plz turn it of and then try.\nIf then also it doesn't work then mail to Yahoo regarding your problem.

It might be your browser. Years ago, I only used the netscape browser, and I could only send mail, in plain text. I am not saying it is, but I know certain browsers, will not send in HTML..I am using internet explorer-6.0 now, and I never have any problems with it. There used to be a button, by the email compose message, and you might have to change it, if it is on "text only" mode, change it to HTML..good luck..

If the compose box on your Yahoo! mail box isn't showing up, you can usually get it back quickly and easily by clicking on Options in the upper right corner of your inbox, then on General Preferences. In the "Composing E-Mails" section, click on "Compose messages as plain text" and then click the save button in the left corner.\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/send/send-34.html\n\nIf that doesn't work or you need to get back the toolbar, you should try clearing the cache on your browser, scanning for viruses/spyware and restarting your computer again. The final option would be to switch to a different browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try Mozilla Firefox. Here are some links to help you with any of these options.\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/errors/errors-17.html\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006010904841\nhttp://www.getfirefox.com/

Right now I don't have any option to use the Yahoo! Messenger as it will not work right on my system. I am not sure why, but it just stops responding after a while. I removed it and cleaned out my regestry each time and then reinstalled the program only to have it happen again each time. So, I do not even have Yahoo! Messenger installed now. It is working just fine on my fiance's computer so it must be my computer and not the program. Odd, though, as it was working just fine. I know it isn't a bad file as I have cleaned out all orphaned and broken regestry keys, so go figure. \n\nAnyway, this is difficult to answer. Each have features the other doesn't which I wish would be combined into one. I really like the sealth settings on Yahoo! Messenger, yet the MSN Messenger has better web cam clarity than Yahoo! provides with the exact same web cam. I also like how MSN contacts, hotmail contacts and my Outlook contacts are all basically assesable together. I can put a calender reminder in hotmail, and get a reminder via MSN messenger, my Outlook, hotmail or all three if I like. I really like the new interface of both Yahoo! and the new hotmail, or MSN live mail. Yet, hotmail is much easier to integrate into Outlook if I so choose to do so than Yahoo! mail is. Yahoo mail is still integratable but there is much more headache than with MSN Live Mail. Now, I like the Yahoo! Smilies and Audibles as well as the backgrounds much more than MSNs. They are easier to share too than MSNs. I think if the features I like about Yahoo! and MSN were all put into one I would hang these up in a heartbeat and use the new intergrated one. Then again isn't that just a fact of life, that you never get everything you want in one place? LOL

Clearly Yahoo are slacking.  They are almost a year out of date.  I doubt that many of their IT staff read this site, so if it bothers you the best course of action would be to send in an email.
