Yahoo email page “folders” column is suddenly badly distorted by “avatar” box and Vonage phone ad. Why?
This just began a few days ago, in Firefox and Mozilla browsers. The left-hand “Folders” column has the “Inbox” folder name skewed about an inch to the right, stuck under the damned “Vonage” ad — and the “Add – Edit” line above it is skewed about two inches to the right, stuck under that damned “avatar shadow” box, which also just suddenly started appearing a few days ago. There are clearly coding problems here. I wish Yahoo would stop ram-cramming its email page with useless junk like this, and keep the layout clean. Any idea how to fix these coding problems?
NOTE TO CHERI: Thanks for confirming that it’s a systemic issue, not just local to my computer. The “folders” distortion is not occurring with IE6, but my IE6 browser is unstable, even after several re-installs, constantly crashing the system, so I stick with Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox. I expect the Mozilla and Firefox entities will issue a patch for the incompatibility problem fairly soon. But it wouldn’t be necessary, if Yahoo would simply CHECK THIS STUFF OUT PROPERLY before screwing around with their e-mail display page coding.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. The “Folders” column distortion/malfunction is NOT happening on Yahoo accounts registered in Canada — i.e., accounts ending in the .ca suffix. It is ONLY happening on Yahoo accounts registered with the .com suffix. It seems to be a coding error caused by the advertising being jacked into the American Yahoo accounts.
2. The column distortion is NOT happening when Yahoo email is opened in the Netscape 8 browser, nor in the IE6 browser. It is happening only when Yahoo email is opened in Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox. I’ve just notified Mozilla of the compatibility problem, apparently caused by Yahoo screwing around with the page encoding over the last few days.
For the record, my OS is Windows 98.
FINAL RESOLUTION, I HOPE:
The “Folders” column display has been fixed today — although whether it was adjusted by Mozilla/Firefox or by Yahoo is not known. In any case, I sent a “bug” report to Mozilla last night –, and I now find that a larger space has been allocated for the “Vonage” box ad, as displayed in both Mozilla and Firefox; and that the two rightward-skewed lines of text are, once again, properly aligned.
I’ll leave this message “up” until its natural expiration date, so anybody else can report continuing problems with the issue.

I want to close an account (since Yahoo won’t stop my harrasser!), but I want to save a few folders that I have in my email folder section. Can I email them or add them into a briefcase? I don’t want to forward them individually. Thanks for the help.
