Yahoo Interface

rhMattL19 · 6 Apr 2005, 07:58 PM

I have just logged into Yahoo, both my .co.uk and .com accounts.

My .co.uk account has not a single banner anywhere, no ads, nothing. I have moved around my account there, and there is no adverts anywhere, no textual ads, nothing. Completely clean of everything.

My .com account has a only a single banner at the top and one little text thing about credit cards above the Inbox folder.

I thought they were only removing the banners and stuff from paid accounts? These are free accounts that I have.

I have no clue what happened, I'm just surprised at how clean the account interfaces are. Extremely fast loading.

Does everyone know something I don't, or is this some kind of fluke?

was rather slow. When I changed to yahoo.ca and indian english it worked faster. yahoo.com and indian works fast too and rather few ads.

Could it be that ads is not good at getting money.
Both Norwegian and Sweden failed to get ads to pay for the people employed here. Denmark maybe survive, I am not sure.

rhMattL19,

Do not question a good thing. I have plenty of ads in my Yahoo.com. Do you want some?

rhMattL19 · 7 Apr 2005, 02:56 AM

Nahh thanks... I'm good.

I just logged in and my first thought was how clean it looked without all the ads. I thought someone at Yahoo decided "screw the ads". I have logged in again since then though, and the ads are back.

I just don't think I ever had a Yahoo webmail interface without a single ad yet is all, surprised me.

I guess it was a fluke anyway.

Nothin' to see here, hehe

I didnt even notice the lack of ads, guess i need to look closer. But i think my account still has ads.

Try Admuncher [beta 4.7] as it completely rids hotmail and yahoo of both graphical and text ads!!!!

Thanks alot digp for the information. I've tried it and working good for all websites, not only Hotmail/Yahoo, but Gmail and others website as well. Btw, is this will be free or will be charged in the future??

I just checked and my Yahoo account has all the ads intact - big banner on top of the page and a huge ad on the side, too on the mailbox view.

Even with the graphical ads, Yahoo loads pretty quickly for me. I'm looking forward to the 1 gb upgrade

In fact the initial login seems to be faster than gmail, tho gmail is faster once logged in, I guess because of it all being loaded through java.

at the moment, updates to filters and program are free for all users. it is shareware tho.

My Yahoo! China with Yahoo! Spain interface NEVER displays any ad. Curiosly it is slower than Yahoo! Spain interface with yahoo.es accounts.
