Advertisement & Email?

Why is there an advertisement along side my email. If it was free- I’d understand. But I pay for AT&T/Yahoo. Shouldn’t someone who is PAYING for a service be able to bypass the ads? I feel like I’m throwing money away. Is there a way to disable the ad if you are a paying customer thru AT&T/Yahoo?

I’ve got the same problem with my account too. I am also paying for DSL service through AT&T/Yahoo and think it’s ridiculous that I now have these ads taking up too much screen space. It’s just way too distracting. I complained on Yahoo’s feedback, and I guess I’ll be setting my Outlook Express back up so I don’t have to deal with the ads.

I was so annoyed with AT&T Yahoo ads, I spent three days trying to disable them. Nothing worked for Internet Explorer (IE) or the AT&T Yahoo browser whose functionality relies on IE.

Finally, I switched to Modzilla Firefox and set my home page to which allows me to acess my AT%T Yahoo mail.

For the ads in Modzilla Firefox, I right-clicked on the ad and chose the block option, which whited out the ad. If I wanted to see it (although I can’t imagine why!), I right-clicked again, chose ’select all’ and
clicked on the blue box, which appeared in the upper-left corner. If it didn”t take me to the web site, I chose ‘open link in a new window’.

Cheers!
