Simon mentioned a solution to the Yahoo problem before, but I have
located step-by-step instructions on how to get round it.

It seems complicated, but I've tested it, and it works.

1) Click on "Messages", from the left frame.
2) Right-click your mouse on the last message listed and select "copy
shortcut".
3) Go the URL (address) box at the top of the browser page and clear
the contents.
4) Right-click your mouse and select "paste" to enter the URL into
the box.
5) In the URL now appearing in the box, edit the word "messages" to
"post".
6) Click enter to bring that message up.
7) The number right at the end of the URL is the number of that
message. You can view the messages after it by editing the number and
clicking enter.

It will let you reply to messages as you bring them up, but to make a
new post, you'll need to return to "Home".

Note: During the procedure, you lose the left-hand menu frame, so this
is not a solution, just a way round the problem.

Hope this helps. Of course, it's no use to you until you can read this!!!
