Is anyone elses Yahoo Mail acting weird?
Lately my Yahoo! has been acting really strange. I have to describe it word by word, error by error, so it's not really easy googling it.
Alright here's the problem:
When I click mail, everything loads properly. As any Yahoo! Mail user knows, the mailbox is organized in a tabs-function, similar to internet browsers. You have a "What's New" tab, Inbox tab, Contacts, etc.
Usually, when one clicks an email, a new tab opens and you are able to view the contents of the email.
However, now, when I click it, the new tab simply opens. It cannot view the contents unless I click on the tab. It's the same as pressing CTRL+Click on a link. It opens a new tab but doesn't automatically switch to it.
Also, when I do click on the tab, I can still see my Inbox tab. I have to scroll down to the bottom to see my email. Both the inbox tab and the email tabs are open at the same time. The only way to get rid of this and make it normal is to click on the email, click on the inbox tab again, and then click on the email once more.
Now although I do have a solution, it's annoying having to do this over and over every time I read an email. I'm a busy person who has to maintain a lot of emails from members of various clubs so this is a real pain..

I don't use Yahoo Mail, but what you've described sounds like what can happen when an application is "updated" and things are changed around (sometimes for no apparent reason other than to make the programmer look busy).
Firefox keeps doing this, like swapping "Open in an new Window" and "Open in a new Tab". Made me crazy for weeks.
If they have a user forum on Yahoo, that might be a good place to check to see if they did this on purpose, and ask if there's any way to configure it back to the way it was.
