If you can’t take a hint perhaps you’ll take a warning: this kind of jerkish posting, on top of a moderator instruction to stop, is not allowed here. You are skating on thin ice, Brighter; I suggest you stop this now.
Update: I did set up a whole new account and sent a request for checking into my other one giving the new account as a place where they could reach me. After a thorough search on google, and rereading yahoo’s intormation on phishing, I still cannot 100% be sure this isn’t legit, because the url matches up exactly with what yahoo tells me is their authentic one.
I also changed the password on the trouble account and it went through fine, but even with the password change, the same thing happens.
I clicked on the “remove” option on the authentication sentence and it did remove it, but the verify your password screen still keeps refreshing itself even though it has me logged in and I can see a list of e-mails and where they’re from. I just cannot open the “See all e-mail” option without the whole thing clicking right back to the verification page.
Y’all haven’t seen anything like this on your yahoo e-mail accounts (asking for a “seal” - a color and a sentence)? If someone is targeting me specifically, they sure went through a lot of trouble.
Virus and spyware removal also shows nothing.
On my new account, yahoo sent me a confirmation that they received my customer service request (I also sent them the same screenshot as above) and they’d be in touch within 24 hours. However, that particular e-mail from them is now no longer visible in my inbox and wasn’t removed by me.
I know they’ve had their problems of late, but I have never had this happen.
Thanks
Q
If it’s any consolation, that has happened to a lot of Yahoo users, and it’s not a recent phenomenon. Most of the time it’s related to problems in the cache. The fact that it works on another computer also suggests it’s a local issue. Have you tried a different browser on the same computer?
Clearing your browsing history (cache/cookies) didn’t help? Did you close the browser and re-open it before trying again? The most thorough approach would be to restart the computer as the first thing you do after clearing your cache.
Sorry, yes, Dahnlor I did that and closed and re-opened. Forgot to mention that I also did a system restore earlier this morning, so my machine cleared all temporary files before re-starting itself.
I haven’t tried going to a different browser. I have IE 9, so uninstall and go back to IE8? Firefox and my World of Warcraft don’t like each other, so I’ve stayed away from that one.
Finally, I know I’m not as knowledgable as some of you, which is why I try to give as much info as possible.

Well, shit. I just tried logging on on D’s computer, and although it let me in yesterday (one time, I might add) it won’t today, so whatever it is, is following me around.

See if Chrome works.
I’ve had different problems with IE in the past, and uninstalling/reinstalling or downgrading to an earlier version usually didn’t fix it. For some reason IE on my XP work computer stopped letting me use the Tab key or the ctrl-C / ctrl-V shortcuts for copy/paste anymore, which was extremely annoying, and the problem persisted after downgrading to version 6 or 7. I eventually gave up and started using Chrome.
