Several things changed with my NT site
 

Hi, Everybody!

Several things changed with my NT site after I installed a Yahoo Messanger. I have since uninstalled it [I think - I am very illiterate as regards the computer], but changes to site remain. I can no longer send PM's by hitting Quick Links. In fact, nothing happens when I hit Quick Links. I can no longer put emoticons into my text. After I log in I have to hit the line below the Thank You for Logging In, whereas before I was automatically redirected. When logging in, I have to erase "User Name" before I can enter my name, whereas before it erased itself. There may be more changes that I am not currently thinking of. I am not the brightest bulb on the tree due to med therapy, I think. Is it possible that I have done something wrong that is causing these changes. I most miss the loss of Quick Links, as I like to send PM's. Thank You for any advice. billie

Are you logged in, Billie? It seems like you arent. Yahoo messenger shouldn't cause this problem, and since you have uninstalled it you should be OK. I wish I could be more helpful

I think I am logged in
 

I am on NT. I deleted my Yahoo Messanger as per your instructions. I still have many Yahoo things that seemed to come alone with it. Am afraid to fool around with anything else. Color me "Too Dumb to Plumb" billie

Tried but failed
 

Yes, I tried clearing the cache, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. Thanks for your response! billie

Yay?
 

Your instructions for removing the Yahoo toolbar worked! Thank You! I don't know whether it will change anything on NT, but it couldn't hurt. Appreciate your response! billie

A reboot after making changes might be a good idea too.

if those don't help then we look at clearing the cookies, but those remove passwords and log in info so you have to have them written down & saved somewhere else - before we try that option.

Hi, Jackie
 

I have just seemingly lost my ability to reply or quick reply. My reply is rejected with a message to effect that "message is too short. Must be 10 characters." Which, of course, it is. Am trying again here. Caring for You - billie

Yay
 

Ah, it's back. Great! Need to fix the nut behind the wheel. billie
