Today I went to “My Yahoo” and clicked “Inbox” to read my mail. A two inch column on the right side of the screen is now taken up by an advertisement! I emailed a complaint, and used their tech support chat system to complain. If this were a FREE email account I would just accept it, but to lose two inches of screen space to an add when I am paying ATT DSL/Yahoo for my email account is unacceptable. I’m going to shop for a new provider.
