I am running Seamonkey 2.7.
My Yahoo.mail refuses to retain the "Theme" I choose.
Tried a Google Search and found many, many people have this
same problem, so it is not confined only to SeaMonkey.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what to do ?
Here it comes !

The usual advice ...
Clear cookies and allow cookies from yahooo.
I hate messing about with the Cookies !
Every time I clear the cookies, bad things happen.
I have NoScripts 2.5 and allowed all of the Yahoo Mail site to load -
to no avail.
I think this problem stems from YahooMail's site, not mine, since
so many web links ask about this same thing. PITA.
In any case, where are the cookies stored. This SM 2.7 doesn't seem to
do what all the older ones did with cookies and I knew a little bit
about the older versions. Now I am lost.
Is there a way to figure out WHICH cookie controls the 'Theme' ?
Assuming I can find it !
I APPRECIATE THE HELP !

More Googling found this reply about the Theme retention.
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/914606
Theme is retained in IE but not Firefox.
Is this guy's answer related to (or translatable to) SeaMonkey 2.7 in
any way ?
DoctorBill
Yes, he's basically saying "Allow Yahoo to set cookies and set Firefox
to not delete them when you close the browser." Applies to SM too.
As far as I can see, I am allowing cookies to be set by any site !
I sent Yahoo "Help" this question and they actually answered !
Here is their answer - go to this site:

OMG....just to change THEMES ?!
Is this called poor programming or what ?
DoctorBill
But ... it doesn't say anything about themes!
I have a Yahoo email but never use it. For the heck of it I logged in
(using SeaMonkey), changes the theme, logged out. When I logged back in
the theme change had stuck.
Yahoo sets a lot of cookies. I deleted them all, logged back in and the
theme was still there.
Just for yucks I logged in using Firefox, where I wipe cookies when the
program exits. Theme still set.
Not sure what to say at this point.
