My yahoo homepage layout

If you have a Yahoo! account, you have the option of customizing your "My Yahoo!" homepage. My Yahoo! differs from the standard Yahoo! homepage.

On the standard homepage, you can only customize the "My Favorites" area.
When you access My Yahoo!, you can personalize your page so that it features the subject areas that most interest you.

You can also apply a favorite color or theme to the background of the page.
These customizations allow you to have a personalized experience on the Yahoo! website and saves you time by isolating the information that matters most to you.

Visit the Yahoo! homepage and log in using your username and password.
Click on the My Yahoo! link in the upper left area of the page.


Change the appearance of your My Yahoo! page. Click the "Change Appearance" button that appears in the blue bar in the middle of the screen.

Choose your theme by clicking through the Colors, Textures and other menu items and clicking on the options you like best.

Don't overlook the arrows in the lower right that will let you scroll through additional options.
Once you choose a theme, you can customize that theme and change its layout by using the menu options on the left side of the page.

Click "I'm Done" to save your changes. Click the "Add Content" button to the left of the "Change Appearance" button.

Use this menu to select the options that you would like to appear on your My Yahoo! page.

Use the "Browse Content" menu to the right to select types of content, such as Entertainment, Money, News or Sports, and peruse the options that appear on the screen.

Use the search module to search for content by name, if you have trouble finding something in the menu.
Click on the "Add" button in the icon for each option that you want to add to your page.

Click "I'm Done" to save your changes. (See Below)


Use the site's "Drag and Drop" functionality to move the content modules where you want them to appear on your page.

Clean Up Cookies on a Computer

Clearing your computer's cookies in Microsoft Internet Explorer is easy.
Clearing your permanently filed cookies will make your computer run a little bit faster, and eliminate the link between you and the websites you frequent.

Cookies are small files that websites store on your computer to remember your account information, login, password and who you are.

If you want to eliminate another party tracking your preferences, read on to learn how to clean up cookies on a computer.

Turn on your computer and allow it to boot up.
Open a Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.

It doesn't matter what web page first loads.
Locate the "Tools" tab or icon on the top right hand corner of your screen.

Click on the tab or icon, so a drop-down menu appears.
Browse the list and find "Internet Options."

Use your mouse to left click on "Internet Options."

Notice a new box open on your screen.
The bar across the top of this new box should say "Internet Options."

Below this bar will be several tabs.
Use your mouse to left click on the "General" tab.

Scan the box and locate the section titled "Browsing History."
Read the description under browsing history to be sure it includes the option to delete temporary files, browsing history, cookies, saved passwords and web form information.

Under the description, you will see two boxes, "Delete" and "Settings."

Click on the "Delete" button.
A new bow will appear on your screen.

The bar across the top of the box will be labeled "Delete Browsing History."
Notice the options in this box include the ability to delete temporary Internet files, cookies, history, form data and passwords.

Select the button that says "Delete Cookies" if you wish to only delete the cookies data files.
If you would like to get rid of the history list of websites you have visited, all your logins, passwords and form data, select the "Delete All" button at the bottom of the box.

Selecting either "Delete Cookies" or "Delete All" will make another box appear on your screen. You will see a confirmation message asking if you're sure you'd like to complete this action. Select "Yes" or "No."

Selecting "Yes" will allow your computer to delete the cookies.

Deleting these temporary internet files only takes a minute or two.

If you haven't deleted the cookies in awhile a task bar may appear to show you're the progress of the delete.

When the computer is finished, simply close out all the extra boxes that popped up.

Why cant i get my old e-mail acct back

(1) Re-check your mail ID and password.
(2) When you last set your password, perhaps your keyboard was inadvertently in caps-lock mode?
(3) delete any old cookies or super-cookies (LSO's = Local Shared Objects) that may mis-identify your computer to Yahoo.com
clear cookies: Tools >Clear Recent History > Cookies
clear super-cookies: delete *.sol files in
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia,
where "User" is replaced by your login name.
(4) clear your browser "Form and Search" history, which will store your (incorrect) password, and supply it to Yahoo.com without telling you its doing so - the browser thinks its cleverly "helping" you remember a password.

Bad request

Hi,

If "your browser sent a request that this server could not understand"
and "size of request header field exceeds server limit", your request
is a bad or oversized cookie. (The same thing is true for "Error 400").

For some very strange reason, it seems 9 of
10 Bad Request messages implicate Firefox.

Simply delete your "Cookies" and everything
will be okay. Don't worry about erasing them;
nothing bad will happen. You won't lose your
internet browser's "Bookmarks" or "Favorites".
The worst thing that could happen is you will
be asked to retype your username/password
when you return to YouTube and some other
websites -- that's all.

As you're dumping your cookies, you should
also erase all your "Temporary Internet Files"
and "History". This will render your computer
totally "fresh" in YouTube's eyes. It would be
best if you shutdown / reboot after doing this:

Internet Explorer 6:
> Tools > Internet Options
> Delete Cookies > OK
> Delete Files > OK
> Clear History > Yes
> OK

Internet Explorer 7:
> Tools > Internet Options > Delete...
> Delete files > Yes
> Delete cookies > OK
> Delete history > OK
> Close (browsing history window)
> OK

Peace,
B

Dnt no what to do

Web cookies, tracking cookies or just cookies, are small text files containing a user's settings and other data used by websites, and are stored on the user's computer. They are transmitted as parcels of text sent by a server to a Web client (usually a browser) and then sent back unchanged by client each time it accesses that server. HTTP cookies are used for authenticating, session tracking (state maintenance), and maintaining specific information about users, such as site preferences or the contents of their electronic shopping carts.

Go into tools in internet explorer and click delete browsing history, you can delete cookies from there.

Wat do i do when i have 400 bad request on youtube

Hello

For some very odd reason, it seems that 9 out
of 10 error messages like this deal with Firefox.

If "Your browser sent a request that this server
could not understand", plus "Size of a request
header field exceeds server limit", that strange
request may be a bad or unusually big cookie.
(The same thing is true for "Error 400" codes.)

Simply clear all of your cookies and everything
should be fine. Don't worry about getting rid of
them; absolutely nothing bad will happen. You
won’t lose your internet browser's "Bookmarks"
or "Favorites". The worst-case scenario is that
you will have to type your username/password
again when you first revisit YouTube and a few
other websites -- that's all.

While you're erasing your cookies, you should
also be deleting your "temporary internet files"
and "history" to get them out of your computer
memory, and make everything fresh. After that,
it's best if you shutdown and then reboot:

Internet Explorer 6:
→ Tools → Internet Options
→ Delete Cookies → OK
→ Delete Files → OK
→ Clear History → Yes
→ OK

Internet Explorer 7:
→ Tools → Internet Options → Delete...
→ Delete files → Yes
→ Delete cookies → OK
→ Delete history → OK
→ Close (browsing history window)
→ OK

Mozilla Firefox
→ Tools → Clear Private Data
[x] Browsing History
[x] Download History
[x] Saved Form and Search History
[x] Cache
[x] Cookies
→ Clear Private Data Now

400 BAD REQUEST everytime we try YOUTUBE

wow, your solution is more specific than mine 3BOODX. but mine's this:

Go to Tools. Hit Options. Hit the Privacy button. Press "Show Cookies" in the middle of the page. Go all the way down to Youtube.com and double click on it. Click on the first one. It will tell you something in the space called "Content".in the description. On the server problem on You Tube, look at what is says. It will say stuff like :

EXAMPLE:
(First part)ViSITOR_INFO_1KittyKat (Second part)133bd4455...

you look at each cookie description content and find the 2 that match the first and second part of the error.
Delete those cookies. Refresh the page. IT will work find, AND WILL LET YOU LOG IN.

The reason behind the error:
This is something that happens when a user signs in and out of their youtube account constantly or sees many people's channels nonstop.
