Hi all;
If you have a yahoo ID and you have been recieving more spam than usual
of late, there is a reason why. It
seems that while yahoo was down recently, they made some changes.. to
EVERYONE's account!
The following tells what happened and how to fix it.
THIS IS LEGIT!!!! I just got done fixing my own profile, and it was mangled
just exactly the way this said it would be.
Also, when you click 'Finished' after fixing your profile information it will
land you on your "My Yahoo" front page. you
might want to look it over as well and make sure that they havent added
anything there. My wife had to remove a
horrible-scope and a few other things from hers and I found a sports scoreboard
that I didnt want on mine.
in Him,
