AHHHHH! Okay, I can get on my Yahoo mail from work. At home, I get a damn message saying you can get a security code sent to you via SMS (what the hell is that?) voice (phone rings but nobody is on the other end) or e-mail via my old Lycos account that I haven't used for ten years! So how can I fix my Yahoo so that all I have to do is put in my normal e-mail address and password so I can check my damn mail! How did this happen? Help!
I don't do text. How do I differentiate between the Yahoo test and 8,000 advertising texts that bombard me?
Okay, I chose a regular phone call but nothing is coming in. Then I chose text and I see a little envelope flashing but when I choose it it's just an advertisement. HOW...THE....HECK....do I get a message from yahoo so I can access my e-mail the same way I do from my work computer? This is driving me crazy! I e-mailed myself a file I need from work. HELP!
I stopped using yahoo for this very reason. Anyway, if I still had it, I'd probably go the SMS route. Sounds like you have a backlog of texts. Don't know what kind of phone you have, but there should be a way to cycle through the messages until you get to the one that Yahoo sent.
Yep! I finally found the text message. I put in the code but it didn't work. I'm going to try to (hang on to your hats, this is unheard of) call a human at yahoo! Pray for me folks, this could get crazy!
Okay, talking to a human won't work because I need an 8 digit code but don't know how to type that into the phone.
HA! My account is locked for TWELVE HOURS. Talk about Draconian - not 15 minutes, not a couple of hours - 12 hours! Screw it - I wish my boss would ask me why I don't have all the info he needs. One word dude...computers. If he asks me to elaborate I will......fucking computers. Seriously, if I could go back in time a hundred years I would be one happy camper. My brain is just not wired for the high-tech age. I can't learn non-intuitive things fast enough to keep up. I'm a fish out of water.
Thanks. Man my job is getting me down. It's a struggle to get out of bed. It pays well but I still feel like shit at the end of the day. Anyway, it's going to be six (count em' six) degrees in the wee hours of the morning with the wind chill here in Augusta GA. That's farenhiet kids, not celcius. That's 26 degrees below freezing. Right now it's about 20 or so. I'm going to go outside and shoot my new bow in the moonlight (wearing shorts) while drinking heavily just to get my head right then chill out with some Frank Zappa before curling up with my kitties. It only makes sense in this crazy world.
Switch to Gmail. I use it at home, at work, on my laptop, on my phone, etc., and it never complains. On the downside, Google now owns my life, and it if ever goes down I'll probably just drop dead because it'll turn out Google Calendar is synced to my lungs.
Yahoo used to be simple. When I am on a computer that lets me into my own account, I still can't see any toolbar that allows me to send attachments. Of course the internet was no help, all it said was "use the toolbar" but that choice is nowhere to be found.
This, more or less. GMail is fucking awful. It deliberately avoids a whole mess of conventional interface options so that everything about it can be proprietary. This mostly makes it gratuitously confusing and difficult to use. An internet email interface should not have a significant learning curve. Maybe it works as well as other interfaces once you learn it thoroughly, but why bother finding out?
