Yahoo 8.0 dosent run right on my $3000.00 computer and will not detect the web cam i have used for 5 years?
the problem is not with the web cam it is in the yahoo 8.0.
this is the worst version of yahoo, ever.
I cant belive yahoo took all the links off their server to the old programming.
I think yahoo is trying to kick people off , by releasing a bad version that wont run, and then cancil the back up to kick free users off messenger
the same way as they have crashed the messenger when the launch cast radio hitts the 200 free songs, then what do they do, well since i listen to heavy metal, they will play country or rap.
how childish.
some one should really find out the responcible party and cut off and feed them their genatalia.
and i will not get verison dsl just to have a yahoo messenger account.
and my mom who does have verison dsl w/yahoo.
can't send me a emal from her verison email to my yahoo, or her yahoo or any yahoo for that matter.
so she had to make a yahoo account just to email me to my yahoo email.
yahoo has truly gotten as piss poor as symantec has, I give up
Yahoo 8.0 dosent run right on my $3000.00 computer and will not detect the web cam i have used for 5 years?
I also have the same problem like u, i guess something wrong with the Y/M v8, since I installed it, virus %26amp; unlimited trouble shooting goes after it quite often. Automatically, sign out or unable to sign in, unable to edit the weather... %26amp; so on....Not really bcoz of our pc problem.
Now, I have already installed lower version v7.5, running much better.

Reply:Try Trillian ... you're right - Yahoo 8 has a dummy in it's mouth and sucks.

Trillian will allow you to have multiple Yahoo accounts and MSN (and AIM and some others which I never use). It's free ... but doesn't do webcams. MSN was always better at webcam, anyway. When I did a lot of that, I used to use MSN for cam and Yahoo for chat.

Is this complaint against Yahoo fair since they have ignored me for 6 days?
Yahoo hates Education Groups
I have been a member of several Yahoo groups since 2000.
Recently Yahoo has been shutting down groups and eliminating moderators emails of many education groups that offer free information to students or teachers.
Apparently student interns of one these groups created a poster offering a free information guide and with moderator approval posted it to seven yahoo groups. This student created poster offers a free information guide created by students and available through a free student yahoo group club.
The Yahoo student club newsletter was closed down, the News Newsletter was closed down, the job information newsletter was closed down, the student internship letter was closed down, the free English lessons newsletter was closed down, the Education consultant’s newsletter and apparently many other moderators of other education groups have also suffered the same fate.
Apparently yahoo does not want anything that resembles an ad that competes for attention to their bombardment of ads on the long suffering yahoo groups users. When one views the current Yahoo TOS there is no violation. Yahoo has refused to send comments or inquiries prior to email or group elimination, send comments or responses after the eliminations. It is obvious that if you are a moderator of an education group that offers anything free from one related group to another then you will be eliminated.
When you actually look at the Yahoo groups it is very obvious very quickly that huge hypocrisy exists within the management of the Yahoo groups. Several Yahoo groups offer no content - they simply have links to Geocities pages that contain only Google ads. When you read the Google, Yahoo, Geocities TOS they are clear violations of Yahoo, Google and Geocities TOS. Yet these sites continue to exist and thrive
within the yahoo groups.
This is an appeal to yahoo management. Use common sense. Is Yahoo afraid of free student created work that helps other students. Keep the education groups that actually help group members alive and eliminate the real criminals.
If you actually want a list of shut down sites and current Google, Geocities Yahoo violators - I will send them to you.

sorry
send them NOTHING!
Reply:It is a scam! There is no Overseas Lottery International, YAHOO %26amp; MSN Lotteries, Yahoo online dept., UK (United Kingdom) Lottery, Netherlands Lottery, British Lottery, Thunderball Online Lottery in the UK, Australian Lottery, Spanish Lottery, Yahoo Lottery Microsoft Lottery (emmulating from the UK or anywhere else) or any other form of lottery you can win without buying a ticket. While some people might only copy and paste such email to their answer with a brief take on it, I will go into detail because I'm tired of this trash, as several of my friends have lost their a$$es to this scam. This is about as far away from legitimate as anything can get, whether it be a contest, promotion, or whatever.
There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades.
The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. If you even reply, you risk having your email inbox flooded. If you call these people, expect to be harrassed over the phone at all hours of the night! In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings in Nigeria are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy.
By the way, I have kind of become an anti-scam activists due to the fact that I have many friends who have had their identities and life savings stolen from them via these methods.
This is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question.
If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, nigeria 419 scams, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud. You can also read more about this at www.secretservice.gov and www.419eater.com!
If you have lost money you should report it to the U.S. Secret Service at www.secretservice.gov
Now you know the basics of Advance Fee Fraud, a multi-million dollar industry that costs honest people their life savings everyday. Be happy you weren't duped by this scam!
I hope this is helpful, because I could sure use a best answer! I would appreciate it!
Reply:This scam has been around for awhile. You need to read Yahoo more often. Be informed, don't get involved with such scams. Don't send money, personal information or anything to these type of scams.

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

The phone number given is a UK mibile phone number. If it was genuine there would be a landline number.
They will be asking for your bank details to transfer the money to you. Very suspicious.
There are lots of grammatical errors in the text - this was not written by a native English speaker.(Eg "among the Millions that subscribe at YAHOO!")

3) When you click the link, check its really yahoo, not yahooverify.com or something like that.
Reply:Smells like SCAM!
Yahoo already knows all your data and has known it for years.
The scammers want to get your personal info and get access to your account.

Yahoo maps is USA first and will mostly find a hick-town in USA, not a world class city?
Yahoo maps is a USA first product and will mostly find a hick-town in USA, not a world class city?
Does this bug any one?
Searching Yahoo maps using Yahoo! search
http://search.yahoo.com/
Try searching and see... perhaps you can add to the list.
yahoo maps Paris = hick-town in USA
yahoo maps Moscow = hick-town in USA
yahoo maps Rome = hick-town in USA
yahoo maps Beijing = information on China but no map (except for a hick-town in USA)
yahoo maps Constantinople = information on Ancient Rome but no map (except for a hick-town in USA)
yahoo maps Frankfurt = information on Germany vacations tours but no map (except for a hick-town in USA)
They were a bit better on Canada ~
yahoo maps Toronto = Toronto Ontario
yahoo maps London = London Ontario Canada (a hick town in Canada, Not England)
Seriously does the USA know the rest of the planet exists?

Sort of. But hey, hick is a strong word.
Also, your avatar is the first avatar I've seen with glasses on! Cool. ^_^
Reply:As someone else has noted, it's not Yahoo! maps that the issue - if you go to http://maps.yahoo.com/beta , it jumps to major international cities you expect right away - and many minor ones. While it should be fixed, not a whole lot of people go to the cities via the search box. Report It
Reply:Yahoo is an AMERICAN company. Are they supposed to start out with a map of Africa? Does this make any sense? Maybe there is no market for other countries, or maybe they did not get to them yet.
If you check Yahoo maps Beta, their new and improved map, you will find most other countries have all of their information.
Do a little research before you criticize, you look like a fool.
