Well, I actually got an account on Yahoo email, which will now be used for forums, while my hotmail one will be used for personal reasons. Have you guys used Yahoo before? What do you think of it? Personally, I think Yahoo! Is a lot easier than Gmail. Lots easier.
 
I've been using Yahoo for years. Only issues I've ever really had was when they shut down the Bored Rooms. And lately for some reason I've been unable to access Chat Rooms.
 
@ Anna: that's actually why I'm using Yahoo as well. Their spam filter seems to be good too, caught too forums in it and they didn't land in my inbox, which is pretty sweet.



Dragon Master: Yeah, I was seriously impressed with Yahoo's loading time. It still has ads, but heck, as long as it loads fast, that's all I care about. It's easy to read emails and stuff too.
 
Ahhhh, Yahoo.... I've got... what? Two now? I think I let one go.



One thing I can say for that one is...



Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, Lovely SPAM wonderful spam....



Sing with me and the vikings ....

I still haven't figured out how to embed video.. there has to be something I'm NOT doing just right.



Tried the youtube icon, URL, embeded code, links, etc etc. What's the secret?
 
Anna. it wouldn't have hurt you to tell DrLeftover how to post a YouTube video.

Here is how to embed a YouTube video.



All you need is to copy and paste the YouTube video ID string and not the whole url like this.



This is the full url of the video you wanted to post.

Just copy the id part of the url like this. anwy2MPT5RE

Hope that helps.
 
I actually did away with MSN messenger. Uninstalled everything from my thingy relating to MSN MEssenger. Now I don't really care if MSN explorer is compatible with Windows 7 or not. I'm rather enjoying Yahoo at the moment. I'm sticking with that.
 
I've been using Yahoo for years as well for my business. I use AOL mail for personal use but hate it. I'm going to either switch from AOL to gmail or hotmail. I only like AOL mail because it alerts me when I have an incoming message and I'm not sure if the other ones do that also. I need to do some more research

I had Yahoo! then I switched to Hotmail (Windows Live... technically) and I love it. No ads and everything is all in one application. Very smooth and clean too.
 
I been using yahoo every since i made my first email i had my current one for 4 or so years and i am just now starting to get spam. You won't see ads on yahoo with ad blocker plus for firefox.
