If you like to play games on the Web in your spare time, you may as well get paid for having fun!
There are Web sites that will pay their members to play games, read e-mails, and join online survey panels.
Credible sites include www.http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=jmcsworld , http://www.sendearnings.com/?r=jmcsworld and www.mypoints.com. If you look for similar sites in a search engine, be sure to read the fine print regarding privacy policies.
Although you won't get rich with these sites, you may earn a little extra cash with very little effort.
For example, Inbox Dollars pays its members between 1 cent and 10 cents per e-mail read, 5 cents to 10 cents per free game played, and up to $4 for each online survey panel that members join. The average payment is 2 cents per e-mail. New members get $5 when they join and get another $5 for every friend they refer to the program.
Members can earn more if they win the games, as they compete against other members playing the same game. The sites also offer paid games that require payment — starting at 25 cents a game — but it is not necessary to pay for games to earn a little money.
Send Earnings is similar to Inbox Dollars, although new members receive $3 rather than $5.
Mypoints.com compensates members with points rather than cash, and members can redeem their points for a variety of retailer gift cards. Mypoints.com also rewards members with points when they shop online with participating retailers.

Ezine information
Starting an ezine? Watch for more information comign soon!
1. Give subscribe instructions in your resource box (used to end articles). Give a brief 1 or 2 line description of the benefits of subscribing to your ezine. Give specific subscribe url or email addresses. Give both options if available.
2. Give subscribe instructions in your signature file. Have several well tested signature files handy. When you see a name that you don't recognize or don't think is a subscriber, use this signature file.
3. Ask others to recommend your publication on their "thank you" page. This is most often done on an exchange basis. That is, you recommend good ezines and they reciprocate on their site. This works great because someone who has just signed up for one is ezine is very inclined to subscribe to other similar ezines.
4. Ask subscribers to pass on copies of your ezine to friends and associates. If it contains lots of useful information then they will. People like to pass on useful tips to friends.
5. Always include your subscribe instructions in every issue. This allows current subscribers to easily change the email they subscribed under. It also allows former subscribers to resubscribe when they come across an old issue. Finally, it allows those reading pass along copies to easily subscribe.
6. Exchange ads with other ezine publishers. Make these ads your well tested ads seeking new subscribers. Remember the ad must tell the potential subscriber "what's in it for me." If you offer more than one way to subscribe give them all. Some people perfer using email to subscribe, others prefer using an online form. Make it easy for the potential subscriber to use his preference.
7. Purchase ezine ads in carefully chosen publications. Again, make these your well tested ads seeking new subscribers. Code (key) the ad so that you can track results. Keep using the ads that work and stop using those that don't.
8. Swap editorial recommendations with other well written ezines. Personal recommendations get much better results than just plain ads. Since you are capitalizing on your readers familiarity and trust in you, don't recommend ezines that offer little real value.
9. Put a subscribe form on EVERY page of your website, if appropriate. The more chances a site visitor has to subscribe the more likely he is to subscribe. Ask them to subscribe in the page copy too! If one of the primary purposes of your website is to get new list members, place your subscription opportunity very prominently on your homepage.
10. Use a popup subscribe form to suggest to exiting site traffic that they subscribe. Use caution though, making sure that it does not annoy your visitors. Maybe use cookies so that repeat visitors don't keep getting the same popup. Also, note if the popup increases the number of subscribers. Note whether the popups decrease the number of site visitors you get. Use this to decide whether popups is right for your site visitors.
11. Send a short note to those requesting autoresponder reports, etc., suggesting they subscribe. Point out that they get valuable information (such as in the report) in every issue of your newsletter. Give them a REASON to subscribe. Maybe offer them a free ebook or bonus for subscribing.
12. Put a short blurb across the top or bottom of some of your autoresponder messages asking for subscribers. This works great if the report requested from the autoresponder was originally published as an ezine article. You can simply say that "to get similar valuable tips and information regularly, be sure to subscribe to our ezine."
13. List your ezine in every ezine directory that you can find - where it is appropriate. Take the time to come up with a good, benefits rich description of your ezine. Give specific subscription instructions. Since many ezine directories list ezines in alphabetical order, if you are just planning your ezine, choose a name that starts with letters near the beginning of the alphabet. Many people scan only the listings at the beginning of the directories. This will give you a marginal edge.
14. Turn articles and individual issues of your ezine into webpages. Add metatags, and submit these to the search engines. Be careful not to oversubmit though. You want to avoid spam penalties. However, ezine articles make excellent, content rich webpages.
15. Post copies of your ezine with useful articles on discussion boards. If you are going to post the entire issue, you should get approval from the board's owner first. You can also just post a note with a link to the entire issue posted on your site. Observe good discussion board netiquette. Often you will have written an article that very clearly answers a question. This is the perfect opportunity to post the article, or a link to the article.
16. Email authors of popular books on your area of expertise. Suggest they list your ezine in the resources section of the next revision of their book. Offer to send a sample copy so that they can see the quality of your ezine.
17. Always ask new contacts to subscribe. When someone emails you offering joint ventures, article submissions, or asking for more information, don't miss this opportunity. The most subtle way to do this is with a good signature block. However, when responding to their email, you should ask them to join your list.
18. Send electronic greeting cards which include an invitation to subscribe. This should not be the main part of the card though or you could be accused of spamming. However, when sending special occassion cards, etc, this is the perfect opportunity to let potential subscribers know that you offer a list that meets their needs.
19. Post ads in "discussion lists" specifically set up for this purpose. There are many lists at egroups/onelist that were set up specifically to allow subscribers to post ads. Advertise your ezine here. If the ads are written well enough you will get subscribers. Be prepared for a lot of email from posting to these groups. Note when the top posting to the email list was posted and submit your posting closes to this time to give your posting the best chance of being near the top. Most people who post to these list undoubtedly don't read most issues. However, you will get some subscribers using this method.
20. Seek subscribers offline. Enclose a business card advertising your ezine in letters to businesses, friends, etc. There are many different avenues here such as: - Have a printed blurb advertising your ezine on your stationery. - Advertise in inexpensive mailorder type newsletters. - Have advertising specialty items such as pens, calculators, keychain printed up. Give these out to appropriate parties in meetings, on airplanes, at parties, etc. Use discretion but don't miss golden opportunities to grow your list.
1. Give subscribe instructions in your resource box (used to end articles). Give a brief 1 or 2 line description of the benefits of subscribing to your ezine. Give specific subscribe url or email addresses. Give both options if available.

17. Always ask new contacts to subscribe. When someone emails you offering joint ventures, article submissions, or asking for more information, don't miss this opportunity. The most subtle way to do this is with a good signature block. However, when responding to their email, you should ask them to join your list.
18. Send electronic greeting cards which include an invitation to subscribe. This should not be the main part of the card though or you could be accused of spamming. However, when sending special occassion cards, etc, this is the perfect opportunity to let potential subscribers know that you offer a list that meets their needs.
19. Post ads in "discussion lists" specifically set up for this purpose. There are many lists at egroups/onelist that were set up specifically to allow subscribers to post ads. Advertise your ezine here. If the ads are written well enough you will get subscribers. Be prepared for a lot of email from posting to these groups. Note when the top posting to the email list was posted and submit your posting closes to this time to give your posting the best chance of being near the top. Most people who post to these list undoubtedly don't read most issues. However, you will get some subscribers using this method.
20. Seek subscribers offline. Enclose a business card advertising your ezine in letters to businesses, friends, etc. There are many different avenues here such as: - Have a printed blurb advertising your ezine on your stationery. - Advertise in inexpensive mailorder type newsletters. - Have advertising specialty items such as pens, calculators, keychain printed up. Give these out to appropriate parties in meetings, on airplanes, at parties, etc. Use discretion but don't miss golden opportunities to grow your list.
Ezine information
Starting an ezine? Watch for more information comign soon!
1. Give subscribe instructions in your resource box (used to end articles). Give a brief 1 or 2 line description of the benefits of subscribing to your ezine. Give specific subscribe url or email addresses. Give both options if available.
2. Give subscribe instructions in your signature file. Have several well tested signature files handy. When you see a name that you don't recognize or don't think is a subscriber, use this signature file.
3. Ask others to recommend your publication on their "thank you" page. This is most often done on an exchange basis. That is, you recommend good ezines and they reciprocate on their site. This works great because someone who has just signed up for one is ezine is very inclined to subscribe to other similar ezines.
4. Ask subscribers to pass on copies of your ezine to friends and associates. If it contains lots of useful information then they will. People like to pass on useful tips to friends.
5. Always include your subscribe instructions in every issue. This allows current subscribers to easily change the email they subscribed under. It also allows former subscribers to resubscribe when they come across an old issue. Finally, it allows those reading pass along copies to easily subscribe.
6. Exchange ads with other ezine publishers. Make these ads your well tested ads seeking new subscribers. Remember the ad must tell the potential subscriber "what's in it for me." If you offer more than one way to subscribe give them all. Some people perfer using email to subscribe, others prefer using an online form. Make it easy for the potential subscriber to use his preference.
7. Purchase ezine ads in carefully chosen publications. Again, make these your well tested ads seeking new subscribers. Code (key) the ad so that you can track results. Keep using the ads that work and stop using those that don't.
8. Swap editorial recommendations with other well written ezines. Personal recommendations get much better results than just plain ads. Since you are capitalizing on your readers familiarity and trust in you, don't recommend ezines that offer little real value.
9. Put a subscribe form on EVERY page of your website, if appropriate. The more chances a site visitor has to subscribe the more likely he is to subscribe. Ask them to subscribe in the page copy too! If one of the primary purposes of your website is to get new list members, place your subscription opportunity very prominently on your homepage.
10. Use a popup subscribe form to suggest to exiting site traffic that they subscribe. Use caution though, making sure that it does not annoy your visitors. Maybe use cookies so that repeat visitors don't keep getting the same popup. Also, note if the popup increases the number of subscribers. Note whether the popups decrease the number of site visitors you get. Use this to decide whether popups is right for your site visitors.
11. Send a short note to those requesting autoresponder reports, etc., suggesting they subscribe. Point out that they get valuable information (such as in the report) in every issue of your newsletter. Give them a REASON to subscribe. Maybe offer them a free ebook or bonus for subscribing.
12. Put a short blurb across the top or bottom of some of your autoresponder messages asking for subscribers. This works great if the report requested from the autoresponder was originally published as an ezine article. You can simply say that "to get similar valuable tips and information regularly, be sure to subscribe to our ezine."
13. List your ezine in every ezine directory that you can find - where it is appropriate. Take the time to come up with a good, benefits rich description of your ezine. Give specific subscription instructions. Since many ezine directories list ezines in alphabetical order, if you are just planning your ezine, choose a name that starts with letters near the beginning of the alphabet. Many people scan only the listings at the beginning of the directories. This will give you a marginal edge.
14. Turn articles and individual issues of your ezine into webpages. Add metatags, and submit these to the search engines. Be careful not to oversubmit though. You want to avoid spam penalties. However, ezine articles make excellent, content rich webpages.
15. Post copies of your ezine with useful articles on discussion boards. If you are going to post the entire issue, you should get approval from the board's owner first. You can also just post a note with a link to the entire issue posted on your site. Observe good discussion board netiquette. Often you will have written an article that very clearly answers a question. This is the perfect opportunity to post the article, or a link to the article.
16. Email authors of popular books on your area of expertise. Suggest they list your ezine in the resources section of the next revision of their book. Offer to send a sample copy so that they can see the quality of your ezine.

Where to find customers?..
Very well said:
An example of marketing on the Internet... Search engines are a very, very powerful way to obtain new customers, and they're practically free. They've brought me a thousand of customers over the years. If someone types in a specific phrase in a search engine and your product comes up in the first few entries, it's free advertising. I've gotten boatloads of quality sales leads just exactly this way.
But as we all know, it's not as simple as just throwing some information on a website and waiting for the orders to start coming in. There has to be a precise match between the words your customer is typing in, and the content on your website. It's a very strategic process and it requires that you know exactly what your customers are already looking for. That phrase that they type in Yahoo! or Google is part of the conversation inside their head. Tap into that conversation and your product will sell.

Reading emails,surveys,earning online,yahoo
Some would say reading emails or taking surveys online is not worth it. It is worth it sense the company paying is sharing its revenue. http://www.sendearnings.com/?r=jmcsworld. Take the time sign up and you will recieve a few emails per week and get paid for clicking on them. How 'get paid to read email' programs work? Simply, online advertisers pay commissions to the paid email companies for sending their advertisements via e-mail to members who want to get paid for reading emails. When you receive a paid e- mail, in order to receive your cash you should click on the link and visit an advertiser's web site.
Aside from affiliate programs paid to read emails is a good extra source of income.
Surveys are good source of extra income and provide good feedback for companies marketing products.
What is the average amount you will get when you are making money taking surveys? Well, companies will pay you between $1 and $20 per survey. It is really rare that you will make the $60 to $200 per survey that some companies claim. If you are looking for making money taking surveys in that range, you will be in for a surprise. Most sites will be able to offer you between 1 to 4 surveys per month.If you follow home business circles there are many other areas like mailorder,selling on ebay, and hundreds of different things you can sell to earn extra income.
Home publishing being an area many try they publish calenders, cards and many other nice items. Whatever you try dont rush into it and investigate and research your area before spending money. Paid to read emails is a good area to earn extra cash, clicking on emails,reading them all the while the companys share ad revenue With you.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yahoo Some people have nothing better to do than start rumours and/or cause users to do weird things. In most cases, the user who starts the rumour or hoax gets nothing from it.
Below I discuss some of people's hoaxes and/or rumours. Note: You may receive the text as a room message, a Private Message or in E-Mail. It doesn't matter where, they are all false. The sample text below may not be the exact text, but similar, as the messages vary between users.
General Points to remember about Yahoo! Yahoo! NEVER: * Communicate to its users via Private Messages. * Communicate to its users via Chat Room Text. * Send files to its users via File Transfer, E-mail, or any other way. * Ask via any form for users to re-submit their information. * Use geocities pages for logins, or use geocities pages to transfer files. ONLY: * Submit your information to Official Yahoo! Websites. Reinstate User Rooms Instant Message: After many month of deliberations, Yahoo has decided to reinstate the ability to create user rooms. This will be permitted only in areas marked as "adult content" areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas. To be eligible for this service simply right click on the group name of your buddy list and select "Send Instant Message to All in Group". Paste this message into the box that appears and click the "Send" button. This will allow you to continue to view them on your buddy list once the new user room system upgrade takes place This is yet again another hoax where the aim is to just flood the system with unneeded messages. The only thing you will gain from sending on such a message is angry friends who want to know why their user rooms still don't work! - Thanks to o_fri3nd_o for passing on this hoax! Hard Drive Killers Instant Message: if somebody by name dvorak@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus.
Tell everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone on your list not to open anything from angell11, tewwtuler, and sassybitch. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who is really using these accounts.
Sorry for the inconvienience. Sincerely, Director of Yahoo Services, tanwir2001 Yet Another Hoax Somebody adding you to their list, or you adding them is not enough for them to harm you. You'd have to download from them, and you should NEVER do this unless you know the other user, and have communicated the file transfer with them in advance. Only 57 Names Left! Instant Message: the director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry you didn't send it. Thanks, Director of Yahoo, Tim Buiski, WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A month to USE IT TO SEND It's exactly that, a Joke You won't be sorry for not sending it, you'll be sorry for sending it because all you will do is annoy your friends! Ignore all e-mails like this, there are too many variants to state here, but they are all hoaxes.
Email: Dear user of Yahoo.com, Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Advanced details can be found in attached file. In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 21685. Best wishes, The Yahoo.com team FALSE: Ignore this e-mail, do NOT open the attachment, and delete immediately. Email: Sample Text: DEAR YAHOO _User_, This* ema!l !nform You That your_ YAHO0 User ID (USERID@yahoo.com) _will_ be BL0CKED _after_ 23 days` (_as_ _after_ autoomateed reegisttration) _if_ You _will not s1gn up _on_ _Yahoo_ wh1te List (T0 signup - click HERE: http://USERID.yahoo.com/) This_is done beecause we` update _now_ _Yahoo_ N0T autoomateed reegistered account`s. 5J7Io4oFp I cannot suggest what the aim of this email. It's certainly not real. The spelling and grammar is awful. Delete the e-mail immediately, don't click the links or download any attachments. Rumour 1: Yahoo! are to Charge $10 a month for Yahoo! Messenger Sample Text: "Yahoo! is planning to charge Yahoo! Messenger as of . If you want to keep Yahoo! Messenger free of charge, please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay free". Achieved: This is an old rumour, and has existed for other Instant Messaging platforms. The user who starts such a rumour gains nothing other than seeing gullible people going out of their way to send every user and every room a message like the above. It's also possible that Yahoo!'s servers get slightly more busy as people are trying to send everyone else the same message. Danger: NONE Rumour 2: A new type of buddy list! Just send a group message to 10 or more users! Sample Text: "Right click on your group name of your buddy list and check send this message to all the people in this group Copy this and send it to your friends in the group. If you send this msg to 10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear! It will tell you where someone is, who they are talking to, and if they have more than one screen name." Achieved: This is false, there is no such thing, even though the person sending you the message probably precedes the text with a statement such as "it actually works!". Again like the above, the user just hopes that the message somehow floods Yahoo! servers, and enjoys watching people unknowingly contribute more messages into the Yahoo! system. It's also possible under some conditions, sending such large amounts of messages could cause a temporary block on your account. Danger: In extreme circumstances, a temporary account lock. Rumour 3: Yahoo! recently lost your password, reply with your new password ... Sample Text: Achieved: If you fall for it, the user now has your username and password. They can log into your account, change the password and use it. A few things to note: 1. Yahoo! never ask for your password. 2. A Yahoo! employee has an email address in the form @yahoo-inc.com 3. You would never be approached by a Yahoo! Employee in a chat room. Danger: If you fall for it, you will lose your account to the users. Rumour 4: Variant of Above - Resource limits, all accounts deleted Sample Text: "Yahoo! resources are being stretched and many of our users no longer use their accounts. If you still use your account, you must reply to this message immediately will up to date information. If you do not reply, your account will be deleted by " Achieved: They hope you will reply to them with such information as password, secret question/answer, location etc... Danger: High if you submit your information. New Virus in Messenger - Must send all buddies an IM Thanks to 'Andrea' who sent us this one. Sample Text: Yahoo now has a virus in its 'yahoo messenging' system and it is now active on this server ...... By default if you don't send this message to everyone on your list......as soon as you delete this message a worm hole virus will enter your hardrive and slowly eat away at all of your files.
Achieved: Another method by which they wish for users to send numerous messages to each other. Although virus transfer is possible over messenger, only if you accept files (or other extreme circumstances). And another resource issue Thanks to 'Darlyne' who sent this one. Sample Text: Yahoo Alert: Yahoo is shutting down on August 17,2003 because they are running outta space and all the names are getting took up, so pass this around if you don't want your name to be deleted from Yahoo. If you don't pass this on, then your Yahoo will be shut down for good. Those that don't send, your name will be deleted August 17,2003, thanks, Yahoo Board Leader, Tom Buslowski So the Yahoo! leader speaks with words such as "outta" now in official correspondence? He also misses the ! off the Yahoo! name? No. Just another weirdo's idea of fun! Competition to Win a Laptop, Just $1 Sample Text: Hello, My name is Melissa Birch. Im a live rep here @ Yahoo! We have a contest going on where we give away a brand new Toshiba Laptop fully loaded which retails for over $4,999.95 Plus includes over $2000 in free software to one lucky chatter every 24hrs. Would U like to enter? If so, click here now & Send $1/per entry requested . UNLIMITED ENTRIES!..GOOD LUCK..u could be our next winner! We have your info on file If you're the winner we'll notify you via email! Achieved: They get $1 each time you fall for it - each time you think you are adding an entry. Yahoo! do not have reps in their rooms, nor do they run competitions using unofficial mediums such as Paypal and PMs. In fact, Yahoo! and HSBC are partners for the financial services offered to users, hence Paypal would not be used! I also draw your attention to the "Non Refundable Donation" item type in the link! If you fell for it, you will only lose what you paid, there is no risk of your CC details being transfered, or more funds being withdrawn. Danger: You lose $1 every time you submit your cc number via paypal. 1000 Questions Some users wont come out direct and ask for your password like in the rumours above, instead they pretend to be your buddy, asking you all sorts of questions. There aim is to get your location, date of birth, and answers to the secret questions. Why? If they have this, they have enough information to apply for a new password, when they click the "Forgot My Password" links. By pretending to be your friend, and have common interest, they hope to get the details they require by working down the list of possibilities. I will help you - what's your password? A user either pretends to be from Yahoo! or just states that they need your password to help with your problem. Find this type of user in help rooms. They will look for users needed problems, offer help, then take your password.
You will receive no further help. You will most probably find your account taken after you logout too. AOL USERS AOL 8.0/9.0 appears to be causing you problems with profiles and links, here is the fix (if you want to use Internet Explorer or Netscape, ignore this post, and move to the appropriate method). AOL 8.0 and before (1) Goto the AOL keyword "preferences" ie, type preferences in the address box in AOL. (2) Select "association" in the next window. (3) Select yes, to allow it to associate. (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed! AOL 9.0 (1) Click "Settings" at the top of the screen. (2) Click the "A-Z" Tab. (3) Click "Aol As Default" (4) Select "OK", to allow it to associate. (5) Try a profile, it should be fixed, restart Yahoo! Messenger may be necessary! Like ALL the other Yahoo! profile fix methods, You saw the AOL 9.0 profile fix here First. With thanks to Lyrricist. If this didn't fix it, that's ok, 20% of the time it doesn't, just do Method 1 instead below: To Top Method 1 - All Users - This will reset any custom settings to the programs tab. (1) Goto start>>settings>>control panel>>Internet Settings. Select "reset web settings" (2) In the confirmation box, Uncheck "Also Reset My Homepage", and select ok. (3) Start a new Internet Explorer session, if prompted to make default, select yes or ok. AOL: Skip step (3) (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed. If you previously had customised which e-mail client or other program you use, you may have to select these from the boxes at the top of the programs tab. This applies mostly to AOL users who need to set e-mail client as AOL. Method 2 - Internet Explorer users 1) If you use Internet Explorer, goto tools>>internet options>>programs and at the bottom, place a check by "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser". 2) Open a new internet explorer window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make internet explorer the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop Method 2 - Netscape users 1) If you use Netscape, please follow the instructions on this page carefully: http://wp.netscape.com/browsers/using/ieusers/start/default.html 2) Open a new Netscape window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make netscape the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop he Method 3 - Advanced users. (1) The file association is for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (2) Go to , Start-Settings-Folder Options (3) Go to , File Types (4) Find "URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol" in the list, and select it. (5) Select edit. In the box at the bottom, you should see "open". If you don't: (1) Click new... (2) The action is "open" (3) The program is your browser. Click browser and look for it, they will be in the program files. if it's internet explorer, it will be "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome (4) Check "use dde" (5) DDE message is "%1",,-1,0,,,, (6) Application is "IExplore" - for internet explorer (7) next box is blank, last box is "WWW_OpenURL" Now click OK apply all changes, and reboot. If you do see "open" click "edit..." and ensure all the boxes match the data above from step (3) onwards. Why does this work? This part of the registry deals with the API calls a programmer makes to launch a link, instead of launching a browser with a paramater, they send a command to launch a URL, windows then deals with this using the specific information a Adult Profiles Compiled based on information from BigBlueBall/TechGuy forums To view an adult profile you must be, (1) An Adult - Over 18 (2) Not in the UK The Yahoo! UK & Ireland stopped access to User rooms, Adult rooms and Adult profiles to its UK accounts. If you have a UK Yahoo! account, adult profiles will not work. If you have a USA Messenger with a UK Yahoo! account you will be able to access User rooms and adult rooms. Possible Fix Go to chat.yahoo.com, sign in, and select "Account Info" in the upper right. Look for "Member Information" and click the "Edit" button to the right of it. Now under "General Preferences" you will see the current language, click it, then update your language to another English version, NOT uk or u URL Not Found On Server To read about transparent proxies, click Here. This error appears to lie in a cached error, possibly Yahoo! was in a state of error, and something has been cached by proxies. For Shaw Cable follow Fix1. For NTL follow the NTL fix. For NetZero follow the NetZero Hispeed fix. Fix1: If you use DSL/Cable: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Select "connections". Then click "Lan Settings...". In that box, uncheck "automatically detect lan settings".
This option automatically sets up a proxy on your connect if your ISP has it set up like this, unchecking this will stop a proxy being used. Fix2: If the above fails, it's possible your ISP, especially smallers ISPs, route all traffic through a proxy as default, even when you haven't selected one. Press the "refresh" button in your browsers when you get the error, this should send a header telling servers not to receive from a cache. Fix3: If all those fails, use tty's lookup page: Here If that fails, use this Proxy Profile Viewer produced by myself: Here Fix4: If your ISP proxy cache is outdated, it might have the wrong IP. You can fix this by adding it to your hosts file. Go to start, run, and type "notepad c:\windows\hosts". You might already have entries. Scroll right to the bottom, add a new line. Enter 66.218.75.148 then a tab, then profiles.yahoo.com Fake Yahoo! Login Forms If you came here to recover a lost password, click here for info ID Stealing For too long, people have been creating clones of Yahoo! Login pages, and changing the page to send YOUR password and username, unencrypted to their e-mail addresses. Once they get your username and password, they change your password, and lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, this appears to be on the increase. What the pages look like The pages are an exact copy of Yahoo's Log in pages. From looking at the page, no difference, all the links link to valid Yahoo! Pages. It uses the official Yahoo! Logo (Which is a registered trademark of Yahoo! Inc.) If in doubt, go to http://edit.yahoo.com/ and log in there, this sets your cookie for all Yahoo! Services. You should not be requested for your ID again. How to tell a bad page There are a number of ways to tell, first, look in the address bar of your browser. Browser Address Bar Safe Login If it is something like the above, and starts with edit.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com then it's safe. Unsafe Login If it's something like the above, its BAD. Only the main page geocities.yahoo.com is a valid login page for Geocities. Right Click Properties As an extra check, right click on the page, select properies. Look for address(URL): xxxxxxxxxxxx. Where xxxxxxxxxxx is the URL. Again, it should be one of the good ones from above. If you right click, and (1) Nothing happens, OR (2) You get a no right click message, this is a sign it's BAD. Form Submission Edit>>View source. Now look for the What to do if you find a bad page Report it to (1) Yahoo! and (2) The website host. If you don't report it, remember someone else may be fooled by the page in question! Yahoo!: http://help.yahoo.com or chat-help@yahoo.com or cc-advoc@yahoo.com If it's a Yahoo! Geocities Page: http://geocities.yahoo.com/v/alert.html to report it. Edit Profile Pictures Editing Profiles To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page. Choose a Yahoo! Picture You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures. Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them. Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes. Upload From Your Computer This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!! File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download. Save your image at 72dpi. Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg . If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open. Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time. Link to an image on the web Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though! Animated Gifs If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this. Yahoo! photo Albums Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album. You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo". This will set your profile picture to that photo. Yahoo Messenger For a long time, Yahoo! Messenger (or Yahoo! Pager as it was called), was simply another contacts list program, similar to that of MSN.
It didn't feature any extra features like Chat Rooms or WebCams, but has had voice chat for a while. Over the last year, Yahoo! Messenger came with it's own chat client for accessing Yahoo! Chat Rooms, and since version 5.0, it comes with webcams, more smileys, and IMVironments! How Yahoo! Messenger works Yahoo! Messenger works on the Yahoo! ID. This is the same for your Yahoo! Email, your Yahoo! Profile and Yahoo! Chat etc... You simply log into the messenger service using your existing Yahoo! ID and password. Since version 5.5, users can be known as anything they like, through the nickname system. What this allows is for you to use any name you like, but please remember your real ID is sent along with it, and is visible to all users. The Yahoo! ID The Yahoo! ID must contain only letters, numbers and underscores and nothing else. My ID for example, is freddy18uk. Although you might sign up with capitals in the ID, it will only show as lowercase. It may not start with a number, begin or end with a _, or have two or more consecutive _s. Abusive terms, and words like Yahoo are also not allowed within the ID. The nickname practically allows anything. The Nickname You can use a nickname instead of your normal ID in Yahoo! Chat. Users of the chat2.0 and Messenger service will see your nikcname rather than your Yahoo! ID. The nickname is not as strict as user IDs, and you can use the same name as somebody else. How it differs from MSN, ICQ, AIM etc... There are many ways in which it differs. Firstly most of the above don't have chat rooms integrated within the messenger software. Also, Yahoo! Rooms do NOT have moderators of any type, user or official. And although users can create their own rooms, they have no authority over who can and cannot chat in their room. What is an IMVironment IMVironments are like interactive scripts within the Instant Messenger windows. They provide backgrounds, and features, such as throwing snowballs, some even contain games, such as chess. They come with more smileys and sounds. Where to download If you haven't already, Yahoo! Messenger may be downloaded from http://messenger.yahoo.com (for US users), replace the .com with your international code for other users. Please note international versions are usually behind.####Thanks to: helpbytes for the information.http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/ YahELite - http://www.yahelite.org YahEh - http://yaheh.chat-help.co.uk/ My!Chat - http://mychat.fxscripts.com Yah-Too - http://www.geocities.com/trolling_around Y!Chat - http://www.ekriirke.com/YChat YaZak - http://messy.zak.2ya.com

It is really rare that you will make the $60 to $200 per survey that some companies claim. If you are looking for making money taking surveys in that range, you will be in for a surprise.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yahoo Some people have nothing better to do than start rumours and/or cause users to do weird things. In most cases, the user who starts the rumour or hoax gets nothing from it.
Below I discuss some of people's hoaxes and/or rumours. Note: You may receive the text as a room message, a Private Message or in E-Mail. It doesn't matter where, they are all false. The sample text below may not be the exact text, but similar, as the messages vary between users.
General Points to remember about Yahoo! Yahoo! NEVER: * Communicate to its users via Private Messages. * Communicate to its users via Chat Room Text. * Send files to its users via File Transfer, E-mail, or any other way. * Ask via any form for users to re-submit their information. * Use geocities pages for logins, or use geocities pages to transfer files. ONLY: * Submit your information to Official Yahoo! Websites. Reinstate User Rooms Instant Message: After many month of deliberations, Yahoo has decided to reinstate the ability to create user rooms. This will be permitted only in areas marked as "adult content" areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas. To be eligible for this service simply right click on the group name of your buddy list and select "Send Instant Message to All in Group". Paste this message into the box that appears and click the "Send" button. This will allow you to continue to view them on your buddy list once the new user room system upgrade takes place This is yet again another hoax where the aim is to just flood the system with unneeded messages. The only thing you will gain from sending on such a message is angry friends who want to know why their user rooms still don't work! - Thanks to o_fri3nd_o for passing on this hoax! Hard Drive Killers Instant Message: if somebody by name dvorak@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus.
Tell everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone on your list not to open anything from angell11, tewwtuler, and sassybitch. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who is really using these accounts.
Sorry for the inconvienience. Sincerely, Director of Yahoo Services, tanwir2001 Yet Another Hoax Somebody adding you to their list, or you adding them is not enough for them to harm you. You'd have to download from them, and you should NEVER do this unless you know the other user, and have communicated the file transfer with them in advance. Only 57 Names Left! Instant Message: the director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list.

UK & Ireland stopped access to User rooms, Adult rooms and Adult profiles to its UK accounts. If you have a UK Yahoo! account, adult profiles will not work. If you have a USA Messenger with a UK Yahoo! account you will be able to access User rooms and adult rooms. Possible Fix Go to chat.yahoo.com, sign in, and select "Account Info" in the upper right. Look for "Member Information" and click the "Edit" button to the right of it. Now under "General Preferences" you will see the current language, click it, then update your language to another English version, NOT uk or u URL Not Found On Server To read about transparent proxies, click Here. This error appears to lie in a cached error, possibly Yahoo! was in a state of error, and something has been cached by proxies. For Shaw Cable follow Fix1. For NTL follow the NTL fix. For NetZero follow the NetZero Hispeed fix. Fix1: If you use DSL/Cable: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Select "connections". Then click "Lan Settings...". In that box, uncheck "automatically detect lan settings".
This option automatically sets up a proxy on your connect if your ISP has it set up like this, unchecking this will stop a proxy being used. Fix2: If the above fails, it's possible your ISP, especially smallers ISPs, route all traffic through a proxy as default, even when you haven't selected one. Press the "refresh" button in your browsers when you get the error, this should send a header telling servers not to receive from a cache. Fix3: If all those fails, use tty's lookup page: Here If that fails, use this Proxy Profile Viewer produced by myself: Here Fix4: If your ISP proxy cache is outdated, it might have the wrong IP. You can fix this by adding it to your hosts file. Go to start, run, and type "notepad c:\windows\hosts". You might already have entries. Scroll right to the bottom, add a new line. Enter 66.218.75.148 then a tab, then profiles.yahoo.com Fake Yahoo! Login Forms If you came here to recover a lost password, click here for info ID Stealing For too long, people have been creating clones of Yahoo! Login pages, and changing the page to send YOUR password and username, unencrypted to their e-mail addresses. Once they get your username and password, they change your password, and lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, this appears to be on the increase. What the pages look like The pages are an exact copy of Yahoo's Log in pages. From looking at the page, no difference, all the links link to valid Yahoo! Pages. It uses the official Yahoo! Logo (Which is a registered trademark of Yahoo! Inc.) If in doubt, go to http://edit.yahoo.com/ and log in there, this sets your cookie for all Yahoo! Services.

Browser Address Bar Safe Login If it is something like the above, and starts with edit.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com then it's safe. Unsafe Login If it's something like the above, its BAD. Only the main page geocities.yahoo.com is a valid login page for Geocities. Right Click Properties As an extra check, right click on the page, select properies. Look for address(URL): xxxxxxxxxxxx. Where xxxxxxxxxxx is the URL. Again, it should be one of the good ones from above. If you right click, and (1) Nothing happens, OR (2) You get a no right click message, this is a sign it's BAD. Form Submission Edit>>View source. Now look for the What to do if you find a bad page Report it to (1) Yahoo! and (2) The website host. If you don't report it, remember someone else may be fooled by the page in question! Yahoo!: http://help.yahoo.com or chat-help@yahoo.com or cc-advoc@yahoo.com If it's a Yahoo! Geocities Page: http://geocities.yahoo.com/v/alert.html to report it. Edit Profile Pictures Editing Profiles To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page. Choose a Yahoo! Picture You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures. Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them. Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes. Upload From Your Computer This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!! File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download. Save your image at 72dpi. Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg . If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open. Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time. Link to an image on the web Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though! Animated Gifs If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this. Yahoo! photo Albums Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album. You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo". This will set your profile picture to that photo. Yahoo Messenger For a long time, Yahoo! Messenger (or Yahoo! Pager as it was called), was simply another contacts list program, similar to that of MSN.
It didn't feature any extra features like Chat Rooms or WebCams, but has had voice chat for a while. Over the last year, Yahoo! Messenger came with it's own chat client for accessing Yahoo! Chat Rooms, and since version 5.0, it comes with webcams, more smileys, and IMVironments! How Yahoo! Messenger works Yahoo! Messenger works on the Yahoo! ID. This is the same for your Yahoo! Email, your Yahoo! Profile and Yahoo! Chat etc... You simply log into the messenger service using your existing Yahoo! ID and password. Since version 5.5, users can be known as anything they like, through the nickname system. What this allows is for you to use any name you like, but please remember your real ID is sent along with it, and is visible to all users. The Yahoo! ID The Yahoo! ID must contain only letters, numbers and underscores and nothing else. My ID for example, is freddy18uk. Although you might sign up with capitals in the ID, it will only show as lowercase. It may not start with a number, begin or end with a _, or have two or more consecutive _s. Abusive terms, and words like Yahoo are also not allowed within the ID. The nickname practically allows anything. The Nickname You can use a nickname instead of your normal ID in Yahoo! Chat. Users of the chat2.0 and Messenger service will see your nikcname rather than your Yahoo! ID. The nickname is not as strict as user IDs, and you can use the same name as somebody else. How it differs from MSN, ICQ, AIM etc... There are many ways in which it differs. Firstly most of the above don't have chat rooms integrated within the messenger software. Also, Yahoo! Rooms do NOT have moderators of any type, user or official. And although users can create their own rooms, they have no authority over who can and cannot chat in their room. What is an IMVironment IMVironments are like interactive scripts within the Instant Messenger windows. They provide backgrounds, and features, such as throwing snowballs, some even contain games, such as chess. They come with more smileys and sounds. Where to download If you haven't already, Yahoo! Messenger may be downloaded from http://messenger.yahoo.com (for US users), replace the .com with your international code for other users. Please note international versions are usually behind.####Thanks to: helpbytes for the information.http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/ YahELite - http://www.yahelite.org YahEh - http://yaheh.chat-help.co.uk/ My!Chat - http://mychat.fxscripts.com Yah-Too - http://www.geocities.com/trolling_around Y!Chat - http://www.ekriirke.com/YChat YaZak - http://messy.zak.2ya.com

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yahoo Some people have nothing better to do than start rumours and/or cause users to do weird things. In most cases, the user who starts the rumour or hoax gets nothing from it.
Below I discuss some of people's hoaxes and/or rumours. Note: You may receive the text as a room message, a Private Message or in E-Mail. It doesn't matter where, they are all false. The sample text below may not be the exact text, but similar, as the messages vary between users.
General Points to remember about Yahoo! Yahoo! NEVER: * Communicate to its users via Private Messages. * Communicate to its users via Chat Room Text. * Send files to its users via File Transfer, E-mail, or any other way. * Ask via any form for users to re-submit their information. * Use geocities pages for logins, or use geocities pages to transfer files. ONLY: * Submit your information to Official Yahoo! Websites. Reinstate User Rooms Instant Message: After many month of deliberations, Yahoo has decided to reinstate the ability to create user rooms. This will be permitted only in areas marked as "adult content" areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas. To be eligible for this service simply right click on the group name of your buddy list and select "Send Instant Message to All in Group". Paste this message into the box that appears and click the "Send" button. This will allow you to continue to view them on your buddy list once the new user room system upgrade takes place This is yet again another hoax where the aim is to just flood the system with unneeded messages. The only thing you will gain from sending on such a message is angry friends who want to know why their user rooms still don't work! - Thanks to o_fri3nd_o for passing on this hoax! Hard Drive Killers Instant Message: if somebody by name dvorak@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus.
Tell everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone on your list not to open anything from angell11, tewwtuler, and sassybitch. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who is really using these accounts.
Sorry for the inconvienience. Sincerely, Director of Yahoo Services, tanwir2001 Yet Another Hoax Somebody adding you to their list, or you adding them is not enough for them to harm you. You'd have to download from them, and you should NEVER do this unless you know the other user, and have communicated the file transfer with them in advance. Only 57 Names Left! Instant Message: the director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry you didn't send it. Thanks, Director of Yahoo, Tim Buiski, WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A month to USE IT TO SEND It's exactly that, a Joke You won't be sorry for not sending it, you'll be sorry for sending it because all you will do is annoy your friends! Ignore all e-mails like this, there are too many variants to state here, but they are all hoaxes.
Email: Dear user of Yahoo.com, Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Advanced details can be found in attached file. In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 21685. Best wishes, The Yahoo.com team FALSE: Ignore this e-mail, do NOT open the attachment, and delete immediately. Email: Sample Text: DEAR YAHOO _User_, This* ema!l !nform You That your_ YAHO0 User ID (USERID@yahoo.com) _will_ be BL0CKED _after_ 23 days` (_as_ _after_ autoomateed reegisttration) _if_ You _will not s1gn up _on_ _Yahoo_ wh1te List (T0 signup - click HERE: http://USERID.yahoo.com/) This_is done beecause we` update _now_ _Yahoo_ N0T autoomateed reegistered account`s. 5J7Io4oFp I cannot suggest what the aim of this email. It's certainly not real. The spelling and grammar is awful. Delete the e-mail immediately, don't click the links or download any attachments. Rumour 1: Yahoo! are to Charge $10 a month for Yahoo! Messenger Sample Text: "Yahoo! is planning to charge Yahoo! Messenger as of . If you want to keep Yahoo! Messenger free of charge, please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay free". Achieved: This is an old rumour, and has existed for other Instant Messaging platforms. The user who starts such a rumour gains nothing other than seeing gullible people going out of their way to send every user and every room a message like the above. It's also possible that Yahoo!'s servers get slightly more busy as people are trying to send everyone else the same message. Danger: NONE Rumour 2: A new type of buddy list! Just send a group message to 10 or more users! Sample Text: "Right click on your group name of your buddy list and check send this message to all the people in this group Copy this and send it to your friends in the group. If you send this msg to 10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear! It will tell you where someone is, who they are talking to, and if they have more than one screen name." Achieved: This is false, there is no such thing, even though the person sending you the message probably precedes the text with a statement such as "it actually works!". Again like the above, the user just hopes that the message somehow floods Yahoo! servers, and enjoys watching people unknowingly contribute more messages into the Yahoo! system. It's also possible under some conditions, sending such large amounts of messages could cause a temporary block on your account. Danger: In extreme circumstances, a temporary account lock. Rumour 3: Yahoo! recently lost your password, reply with your new password ... Sample Text: Achieved: If you fall for it, the user now has your username and password. They can log into your account, change the password and use it. A few things to note: 1. Yahoo! never ask for your password. 2. A Yahoo! employee has an email address in the form @yahoo-inc.com 3. You would never be approached by a Yahoo! Employee in a chat room. Danger: If you fall for it, you will lose your account to the users. Rumour 4: Variant of Above - Resource limits, all accounts deleted Sample Text: "Yahoo! resources are being stretched and many of our users no longer use their accounts. If you still use your account, you must reply to this message immediately will up to date information. If you do not reply, your account will be deleted by " Achieved: They hope you will reply to them with such information as password, secret question/answer, location etc... Danger: High if you submit your information. New Virus in Messenger - Must send all buddies an IM Thanks to 'Andrea' who sent us this one. Sample Text: Yahoo now has a virus in its 'yahoo messenging' system and it is now active on this server ...... By default if you don't send this message to everyone on your list......as soon as you delete this message a worm hole virus will enter your hardrive and slowly eat away at all of your files.
Achieved: Another method by which they wish for users to send numerous messages to each other. Although virus transfer is possible over messenger, only if you accept files (or other extreme circumstances). And another resource issue Thanks to 'Darlyne' who sent this one. Sample Text: Yahoo Alert: Yahoo is shutting down on August 17,2003 because they are running outta space and all the names are getting took up, so pass this around if you don't want your name to be deleted from Yahoo. If you don't pass this on, then your Yahoo will be shut down for good. Those that don't send, your name will be deleted August 17,2003, thanks, Yahoo Board Leader, Tom Buslowski So the Yahoo! leader speaks with words such as "outta" now in official correspondence? He also misses the ! off the Yahoo! name? No. Just another weirdo's idea of fun! Competition to Win a Laptop, Just $1 Sample Text: Hello, My name is Melissa Birch. Im a live rep here @ Yahoo! We have a contest going on where we give away a brand new Toshiba Laptop fully loaded which retails for over $4,999.95 Plus includes over $2000 in free software to one lucky chatter every 24hrs. Would U like to enter? If so, click here now & Send $1/per entry requested . UNLIMITED ENTRIES!..GOOD LUCK..u could be our next winner! We have your info on file If you're the winner we'll notify you via email! Achieved: They get $1 each time you fall for it - each time you think you are adding an entry. Yahoo! do not have reps in their rooms, nor do they run competitions using unofficial mediums such as Paypal and PMs. In fact, Yahoo! and HSBC are partners for the financial services offered to users, hence Paypal would not be used! I also draw your attention to the "Non Refundable Donation" item type in the link! If you fell for it, you will only lose what you paid, there is no risk of your CC details being transfered, or more funds being withdrawn. Danger: You lose $1 every time you submit your cc number via paypal. 1000 Questions Some users wont come out direct and ask for your password like in the rumours above, instead they pretend to be your buddy, asking you all sorts of questions. There aim is to get your location, date of birth, and answers to the secret questions. Why? If they have this, they have enough information to apply for a new password, when they click the "Forgot My Password" links. By pretending to be your friend, and have common interest, they hope to get the details they require by working down the list of possibilities. I will help you - what's your password? A user either pretends to be from Yahoo! or just states that they need your password to help with your problem. Find this type of user in help rooms. They will look for users needed problems, offer help, then take your password.
You will receive no further help. You will most probably find your account taken after you logout too. AOL USERS AOL 8.0/9.0 appears to be causing you problems with profiles and links, here is the fix (if you want to use Internet Explorer or Netscape, ignore this post, and move to the appropriate method). AOL 8.0 and before (1) Goto the AOL keyword "preferences" ie, type preferences in the address box in AOL. (2) Select "association" in the next window. (3) Select yes, to allow it to associate. (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed! AOL 9.0 (1) Click "Settings" at the top of the screen. (2) Click the "A-Z" Tab. (3) Click "Aol As Default" (4) Select "OK", to allow it to associate. (5) Try a profile, it should be fixed, restart Yahoo! Messenger may be necessary! Like ALL the other Yahoo! profile fix methods, You saw the AOL 9.0 profile fix here First. With thanks to Lyrricist. If this didn't fix it, that's ok, 20% of the time it doesn't, just do Method 1 instead below: To Top Method 1 - All Users - This will reset any custom settings to the programs tab.

You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo". This will set your profile picture to that photo. Yahoo Messenger For a long time, Yahoo! Messenger (or Yahoo! Pager as it was called), was simply another contacts list program, similar to that of MSN.
It didn't feature any extra features like Chat Rooms or WebCams, but has had voice chat for a while. Over the last year, Yahoo! Messenger came with it's own chat client for accessing Yahoo! Chat Rooms, and since version 5.0, it comes with webcams, more smileys, and IMVironments! How Yahoo! Messenger works Yahoo! Messenger works on the Yahoo! ID. This is the same for your Yahoo! Email, your Yahoo! Profile and Yahoo! Chat etc... You simply log into the messenger service using your existing Yahoo! ID and password. Since version 5.5, users can be known as anything they like, through the nickname system. What this allows is for you to use any name you like, but please remember your real ID is sent along with it, and is visible to all users. The Yahoo! ID The Yahoo! ID must contain only letters, numbers and underscores and nothing else. My ID for example, is freddy18uk. Although you might sign up with capitals in the ID, it will only show as lowercase. It may not start with a number, begin or end with a _, or have two or more consecutive _s. Abusive terms, and words like Yahoo are also not allowed within the ID. The nickname practically allows anything. The Nickname You can use a nickname instead of your normal ID in Yahoo! Chat. Users of the chat2.0 and Messenger service will see your nikcname rather than your Yahoo! ID. The nickname is not as strict as user IDs, and you can use the same name as somebody else. How it differs from MSN, ICQ, AIM etc... There are many ways in which it differs. Firstly most of the above don't have chat rooms integrated within the messenger software. Also, Yahoo! Rooms do NOT have moderators of any type, user or official. And although users can create their own rooms, they have no authority over who can and cannot chat in their room. What is an IMVironment IMVironments are like interactive scripts within the Instant Messenger windows. They provide backgrounds, and features, such as throwing snowballs, some even contain games, such as chess. They come with more smileys and sounds. Where to download If you haven't already, Yahoo! Messenger may be downloaded from http://messenger.yahoo.com (for US users), replace the .com with your international code for other users. Please note international versions are usually behind.####Thanks to: helpbytes for the information.http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/ YahELite - http://www.yahelite.org YahEh - http://yaheh.chat-help.co.uk/ My!Chat - http://mychat.fxscripts.com Yah-Too - http://www.geocities.com/trolling_around Y!Chat - http://www.ekriirke.com/YChat YaZak - http://messy.zak.2ya.com
Aside from affiliate programs paid to read emails is a good extra source of income.
Surveys are good source of extra income and provide good feedback for companies marketing products.
What is the average amount you will get when you are making money taking surveys? Well, companies will pay you between $1 and $20 per survey. It is really rare that you will make the $60 to $200 per survey that some companies claim. If you are looking for making money taking surveys in that range, you will be in for a surprise. Most sites will be able to offer you between 1 to 4 surveys per month.If you follow home business circles there are many other areas like mailorder,selling on ebay, and hundreds of different things you can sell to earn extra income.
Home publishing being an area many try they publish calenders, cards and many other nice items. Whatever you try dont rush into it and investigate and research your area before spending money. Paid to read emails is a good area to earn extra cash, clicking on emails,reading them all the while the companys share ad revenue With you.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yahoo Some people have nothing better to do than start rumours and/or cause users to do weird things. In most cases, the user who starts the rumour or hoax gets nothing from it.
Below I discuss some of people's hoaxes and/or rumours. Note: You may receive the text as a room message, a Private Message or in E-Mail. It doesn't matter where, they are all false. The sample text below may not be the exact text, but similar, as the messages vary between users.
General Points to remember about Yahoo! Yahoo! NEVER: * Communicate to its users via Private Messages. * Communicate to its users via Chat Room Text. * Send files to its users via File Transfer, E-mail, or any other way. * Ask via any form for users to re-submit their information. * Use geocities pages for logins, or use geocities pages to transfer files. ONLY: * Submit your information to Official Yahoo! Websites. Reinstate User Rooms Instant Message: After many month of deliberations, Yahoo has decided to reinstate the ability to create user rooms. This will be permitted only in areas marked as "adult content" areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas. To be eligible for this service simply right click on the group name of your buddy list and select "Send Instant Message to All in Group". Paste this message into the box that appears and click the "Send" button. This will allow you to continue to view them on your buddy list once the new user room system upgrade takes place This is yet again another hoax where the aim is to just flood the system with unneeded messages. The only thing you will gain from sending on such a message is angry friends who want to know why their user rooms still don't work! - Thanks to o_fri3nd_o for passing on this hoax! Hard Drive Killers Instant Message: if somebody by name dvorak@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus.
Tell everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone on your list not to open anything from angell11, tewwtuler, and sassybitch. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who is really using these accounts.
Sorry for the inconvienience. Sincerely, Director of Yahoo Services, tanwir2001 Yet Another Hoax Somebody adding you to their list, or you adding them is not enough for them to harm you. You'd have to download from them, and you should NEVER do this unless you know the other user, and have communicated the file transfer with them in advance. Only 57 Names Left! Instant Message: the director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry you didn't send it. Thanks, Director of Yahoo, Tim Buiski, WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A month to USE IT TO SEND It's exactly that, a Joke You won't be sorry for not sending it, you'll be sorry for sending it because all you will do is annoy your friends! Ignore all e-mails like this, there are too many variants to state here, but they are all hoaxes.
Email: Dear user of Yahoo.com, Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account. Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Advanced details can be found in attached file. In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 21685. Best wishes, The Yahoo.com team FALSE: Ignore this e-mail, do NOT open the attachment, and delete immediately. Email: Sample Text: DEAR YAHOO _User_, This* ema!l !nform You That your_ YAHO0 User ID (USERID@yahoo.com) _will_ be BL0CKED _after_ 23 days` (_as_ _after_ autoomateed reegisttration) _if_ You _will not s1gn up _on_ _Yahoo_ wh1te List (T0 signup - click HERE: http://USERID.yahoo.com/) This_is done beecause we` update _now_ _Yahoo_ N0T autoomateed reegistered account`s. 5J7Io4oFp I cannot suggest what the aim of this email. It's certainly not real. The spelling and grammar is awful. Delete the e-mail immediately, don't click the links or download any attachments. Rumour 1: Yahoo! are to Charge $10 a month for Yahoo! Messenger Sample Text: "Yahoo! is planning to charge Yahoo! Messenger as of . If you want to keep Yahoo! Messenger free of charge, please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay free". Achieved: This is an old rumour, and has existed for other Instant Messaging platforms. The user who starts such a rumour gains nothing other than seeing gullible people going out of their way to send every user and every room a message like the above. It's also possible that Yahoo!'s servers get slightly more busy as people are trying to send everyone else the same message. Danger: NONE Rumour 2: A new type of buddy list! Just send a group message to 10 or more users! Sample Text: "Right click on your group name of your buddy list and check send this message to all the people in this group Copy this and send it to your friends in the group. If you send this msg to 10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear! It will tell you where someone is, who they are talking to, and if they have more than one screen name." Achieved: This is false, there is no such thing, even though the person sending you the message probably precedes the text with a statement such as "it actually works!". Again like the above, the user just hopes that the message somehow floods Yahoo! servers, and enjoys watching people unknowingly contribute more messages into the Yahoo! system. It's also possible under some conditions, sending such large amounts of messages could cause a temporary block on your account. Danger: In extreme circumstances, a temporary account lock. Rumour 3: Yahoo! recently lost your password, reply with your new password ... Sample Text: Achieved: If you fall for it, the user now has your username and password. They can log into your account, change the password and use it. A few things to note: 1. Yahoo! never ask for your password. 2. A Yahoo! employee has an email address in the form @yahoo-inc.com 3. You would never be approached by a Yahoo! Employee in a chat room. Danger: If you fall for it, you will lose your account to the users. Rumour 4: Variant of Above - Resource limits, all accounts deleted Sample Text: "Yahoo! resources are being stretched and many of our users no longer use their accounts. If you still use your account, you must reply to this message immediately will up to date information. If you do not reply, your account will be deleted by " Achieved: They hope you will reply to them with such information as password, secret question/answer, location etc... Danger: High if you submit your information. New Virus in Messenger - Must send all buddies an IM Thanks to 'Andrea' who sent us this one. Sample Text: Yahoo now has a virus in its 'yahoo messenging' system and it is now active on this server ...... By default if you don't send this message to everyone on your list......as soon as you delete this message a worm hole virus will enter your hardrive and slowly eat away at all of your files.
Achieved: Another method by which they wish for users to send numerous messages to each other. Although virus transfer is possible over messenger, only if you accept files (or other extreme circumstances). And another resource issue Thanks to 'Darlyne' who sent this one. Sample Text: Yahoo Alert: Yahoo is shutting down on August 17,2003 because they are running outta space and all the names are getting took up, so pass this around if you don't want your name to be deleted from Yahoo. If you don't pass this on, then your Yahoo will be shut down for good. Those that don't send, your name will be deleted August 17,2003, thanks, Yahoo Board Leader, Tom Buslowski So the Yahoo! leader speaks with words such as "outta" now in official correspondence? He also misses the ! off the Yahoo! name? No. Just another weirdo's idea of fun! Competition to Win a Laptop, Just $1 Sample Text: Hello, My name is Melissa Birch. Im a live rep here @ Yahoo! We have a contest going on where we give away a brand new Toshiba Laptop fully loaded which retails for over $4,999.95 Plus includes over $2000 in free software to one lucky chatter every 24hrs. Would U like to enter? If so, click here now & Send $1/per entry requested . UNLIMITED ENTRIES!..GOOD LUCK..u could be our next winner! We have your info on file If you're the winner we'll notify you via email! Achieved: They get $1 each time you fall for it - each time you think you are adding an entry. Yahoo! do not have reps in their rooms, nor do they run competitions using unofficial mediums such as Paypal and PMs. In fact, Yahoo! and HSBC are partners for the financial services offered to users, hence Paypal would not be used! I also draw your attention to the "Non Refundable Donation" item type in the link! If you fell for it, you will only lose what you paid, there is no risk of your CC details being transfered, or more funds being withdrawn. Danger: You lose $1 every time you submit your cc number via paypal. 1000 Questions Some users wont come out direct and ask for your password like in the rumours above, instead they pretend to be your buddy, asking you all sorts of questions. There aim is to get your location, date of birth, and answers to the secret questions. Why? If they have this, they have enough information to apply for a new password, when they click the "Forgot My Password" links. By pretending to be your friend, and have common interest, they hope to get the details they require by working down the list of possibilities. I will help you - what's your password? A user either pretends to be from Yahoo! or just states that they need your password to help with your problem. Find this type of user in help rooms. They will look for users needed problems, offer help, then take your password.
You will receive no further help. You will most probably find your account taken after you logout too. AOL USERS AOL 8.0/9.0 appears to be causing you problems with profiles and links, here is the fix (if you want to use Internet Explorer or Netscape, ignore this post, and move to the appropriate method). AOL 8.0 and before (1) Goto the AOL keyword "preferences" ie, type preferences in the address box in AOL. (2) Select "association" in the next window. (3) Select yes, to allow it to associate. (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed! AOL 9.0 (1) Click "Settings" at the top of the screen. (2) Click the "A-Z" Tab. (3) Click "Aol As Default" (4) Select "OK", to allow it to associate. (5) Try a profile, it should be fixed, restart Yahoo! Messenger may be necessary! Like ALL the other Yahoo! profile fix methods, You saw the AOL 9.0 profile fix here First. With thanks to Lyrricist. If this didn't fix it, that's ok, 20% of the time it doesn't, just do Method 1 instead below: To Top Method 1 - All Users - This will reset any custom settings to the programs tab. (1) Goto start>>settings>>control panel>>Internet Settings. Select "reset web settings" (2) In the confirmation box, Uncheck "Also Reset My Homepage", and select ok. (3) Start a new Internet Explorer session, if prompted to make default, select yes or ok. AOL: Skip step (3) (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed. If you previously had customised which e-mail client or other program you use, you may have to select these from the boxes at the top of the programs tab. This applies mostly to AOL users who need to set e-mail client as AOL. Method 2 - Internet Explorer users 1) If you use Internet Explorer, goto tools>>internet options>>programs and at the bottom, place a check by "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser". 2) Open a new internet explorer window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make internet explorer the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop Method 2 - Netscape users 1) If you use Netscape, please follow the instructions on this page carefully: http://wp.netscape.com/browsers/using/ieusers/start/default.html 2) Open a new Netscape window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make netscape the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop he Method 3 - Advanced users. (1) The file association is for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (2) Go to , Start-Settings-Folder Options (3) Go to , File Types (4) Find "URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol" in the list, and select it. (5) Select edit. In the box at the bottom, you should see "open". If you don't: (1) Click new... (2) The action is "open" (3) The program is your browser. Click browser and look for it, they will be in the program files. if it's internet explorer, it will be "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome (4) Check "use dde" (5) DDE message is "%1",,-1,0,,,, (6) Application is "IExplore" - for internet explorer (7) next box is blank, last box is "WWW_OpenURL" Now click OK apply all changes, and reboot. If you do see "open" click "edit..." and ensure all the boxes match the data above from step (3) onwards. Why does this work? This part of the registry deals with the API calls a programmer makes to launch a link, instead of launching a browser with a paramater, they send a command to launch a URL, windows then deals with this using the specific information a Adult Profiles Compiled based on information from BigBlueBall/TechGuy forums To view an adult profile you must be, (1) An Adult - Over 18 (2) Not in the UK The Yahoo! UK & Ireland stopped access to User rooms, Adult rooms and Adult profiles to its UK accounts. If you have a UK Yahoo! account, adult profiles will not work. If you have a USA Messenger with a UK Yahoo! account you will be able to access User rooms and adult rooms. Possible Fix Go to chat.yahoo.com, sign in, and select "Account Info" in the upper right. Look for "Member Information" and click the "Edit" button to the right of it. Now under "General Preferences" you will see the current language, click it, then update your language to another English version, NOT uk or u URL Not Found On Server To read about transparent proxies, click Here. This error appears to lie in a cached error, possibly Yahoo! was in a state of error, and something has been cached by proxies. For Shaw Cable follow Fix1. For NTL follow the NTL fix. For NetZero follow the NetZero Hispeed fix. Fix1: If you use DSL/Cable: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Select "connections". Then click "Lan Settings...". In that box, uncheck "automatically detect lan settings".
This option automatically sets up a proxy on your connect if your ISP has it set up like this, unchecking this will stop a proxy being used. Fix2: If the above fails, it's possible your ISP, especially smallers ISPs, route all traffic through a proxy as default, even when you haven't selected one. Press the "refresh" button in your browsers when you get the error, this should send a header telling servers not to receive from a cache. Fix3: If all those fails, use tty's lookup page: Here If that fails, use this Proxy Profile Viewer produced by myself: Here Fix4: If your ISP proxy cache is outdated, it might have the wrong IP. You can fix this by adding it to your hosts file. Go to start, run, and type "notepad c:\windows\hosts". You might already have entries. Scroll right to the bottom, add a new line. Enter 66.218.75.148 then a tab, then profiles.yahoo.com Fake Yahoo! Login Forms If you came here to recover a lost password, click here for info ID Stealing For too long, people have been creating clones of Yahoo! Login pages, and changing the page to send YOUR password and username, unencrypted to their e-mail addresses. Once they get your username and password, they change your password, and lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, this appears to be on the increase. What the pages look like The pages are an exact copy of Yahoo's Log in pages. From looking at the page, no difference, all the links link to valid Yahoo! Pages. It uses the official Yahoo! Logo (Which is a registered trademark of Yahoo! Inc.) If in doubt, go to http://edit.yahoo.com/ and log in there, this sets your cookie for all Yahoo! Services. You should not be requested for your ID again. How to tell a bad page There are a number of ways to tell, first, look in the address bar of your browser. Browser Address Bar Safe Login If it is something like the above, and starts with edit.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com then it's safe. Unsafe Login If it's something like the above, its BAD. Only the main page geocities.yahoo.com is a valid login page for Geocities. Right Click Properties As an extra check, right click on the page, select properies. Look for address(URL): xxxxxxxxxxxx. Where xxxxxxxxxxx is the URL. Again, it should be one of the good ones from above. If you right click, and (1) Nothing happens, OR (2) You get a no right click message, this is a sign it's BAD. Form Submission Edit>>View source. Now look for the What to do if you find a bad page Report it to (1) Yahoo! and (2) The website host. If you don't report it, remember someone else may be fooled by the page in question! Yahoo!: http://help.yahoo.com or chat-help@yahoo.com or cc-advoc@yahoo.com If it's a Yahoo! Geocities Page: http://geocities.yahoo.com/v/alert.html to report it. Edit Profile Pictures Editing Profiles To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page. Choose a Yahoo! Picture You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures. Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them. Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes. Upload From Your Computer This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!! File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download. Save your image at 72dpi. Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg . If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open. Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time. Link to an image on the web Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though! Animated Gifs If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this. Yahoo! photo Albums Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album.

Reading emails,surveys,earning online,yahoo
Some would say reading emails or taking surveys online is not worth it. It is worth it sense the company paying is sharing its revenue. http://www.sendearnings.com/?r=jmcsworld. Take the time sign up and you will recieve a few emails per week and get paid for clicking on them. How 'get paid to read email' programs work? Simply, online advertisers pay commissions to the paid email companies for sending their advertisements via e-mail to members who want to get paid for reading emails. When you receive a paid e- mail, in order to receive your cash you should click on the link and visit an advertiser's web site.
Aside from affiliate programs paid to read emails is a good extra source of income.
Surveys are good source of extra income and provide good feedback for companies marketing products.
What is the average amount you will get when you are making money taking surveys? Well, companies will pay you between $1 and $20 per survey.

Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions. Advanced details can be found in attached file. In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 21685. Best wishes, The Yahoo.com team FALSE: Ignore this e-mail, do NOT open the attachment, and delete immediately. Email: Sample Text: DEAR YAHOO _User_, This* ema!l !nform You That your_ YAHO0 User ID (USERID@yahoo.com) _will_ be BL0CKED _after_ 23 days` (_as_ _after_ autoomateed reegisttration) _if_ You _will not s1gn up _on_ _Yahoo_ wh1te List (T0 signup - click HERE: http://USERID.yahoo.com/) This_is done beecause we` update _now_ _Yahoo_ N0T autoomateed reegistered account`s. 5J7Io4oFp I cannot suggest what the aim of this email. It's certainly not real. The spelling and grammar is awful. Delete the e-mail immediately, don't click the links or download any attachments. Rumour 1: Yahoo! are to Charge $10 a month for Yahoo! Messenger Sample Text: "Yahoo! is planning to charge Yahoo! Messenger as of . If you want to keep Yahoo! Messenger free of charge, please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay free". Achieved: This is an old rumour, and has existed for other Instant Messaging platforms. The user who starts such a rumour gains nothing other than seeing gullible people going out of their way to send every user and every room a message like the above. It's also possible that Yahoo!'s servers get slightly more busy as people are trying to send everyone else the same message. Danger: NONE Rumour 2: A new type of buddy list! Just send a group message to 10 or more users! Sample Text: "Right click on your group name of your buddy list and check send this message to all the people in this group Copy this and send it to your friends in the group. If you send this msg to 10 people, a new type of buddy list will appear! It will tell you where someone is, who they are talking to, and if they have more than one screen name." Achieved: This is false, there is no such thing, even though the person sending you the message probably precedes the text with a statement such as "it actually works!". Again like the above, the user just hopes that the message somehow floods Yahoo! servers, and enjoys watching people unknowingly contribute more messages into the Yahoo! system. It's also possible under some conditions, sending such large amounts of messages could cause a temporary block on your account. Danger: In extreme circumstances, a temporary account lock. Rumour 3: Yahoo! recently lost your password, reply with your new password ... Sample Text: Achieved: If you fall for it, the user now has your username and password. They can log into your account, change the password and use it. A few things to note: 1. Yahoo! never ask for your password. 2. A Yahoo! employee has an email address in the form @yahoo-inc.com 3. You would never be approached by a Yahoo! Employee in a chat room. Danger: If you fall for it, you will lose your account to the users. Rumour 4: Variant of Above - Resource limits, all accounts deleted Sample Text: "Yahoo! resources are being stretched and many of our users no longer use their accounts. If you still use your account, you must reply to this message immediately will up to date information. If you do not reply, your account will be deleted by " Achieved: They hope you will reply to them with such information as password, secret question/answer, location etc... Danger: High if you submit your information. New Virus in Messenger - Must send all buddies an IM Thanks to 'Andrea' who sent us this one. Sample Text: Yahoo now has a virus in its 'yahoo messenging' system and it is now active on this server ...... By default if you don't send this message to everyone on your list......as soon as you delete this message a worm hole virus will enter your hardrive and slowly eat away at all of your files.
Achieved: Another method by which they wish for users to send numerous messages to each other. Although virus transfer is possible over messenger, only if you accept files (or other extreme circumstances). And another resource issue Thanks to 'Darlyne' who sent this one. Sample Text: Yahoo Alert: Yahoo is shutting down on August 17,2003 because they are running outta space and all the names are getting took up, so pass this around if you don't want your name to be deleted from Yahoo. If you don't pass this on, then your Yahoo will be shut down for good. Those that don't send, your name will be deleted August 17,2003, thanks, Yahoo Board Leader, Tom Buslowski So the Yahoo! leader speaks with words such as "outta" now in official correspondence? He also misses the ! off the Yahoo! name? No. Just another weirdo's idea of fun! Competition to Win a Laptop, Just $1 Sample Text: Hello, My name is Melissa Birch. Im a live rep here @ Yahoo! We have a contest going on where we give away a brand new Toshiba Laptop fully loaded which retails for over $4,999.95 Plus includes over $2000 in free software to one lucky chatter every 24hrs. Would U like to enter? If so, click here now & Send $1/per entry requested . UNLIMITED ENTRIES!..GOOD LUCK..u could be our next winner! We have your info on file If you're the winner we'll notify you via email! Achieved: They get $1 each time you fall for it - each time you think you are adding an entry. Yahoo! do not have reps in their rooms, nor do they run competitions using unofficial mediums such as Paypal and PMs. In fact, Yahoo! and HSBC are partners for the financial services offered to users, hence Paypal would not be used! I also draw your attention to the "Non Refundable Donation" item type in the link! If you fell for it, you will only lose what you paid, there is no risk of your CC details being transfered, or more funds being withdrawn. Danger: You lose $1 every time you submit your cc number via paypal. 1000 Questions Some users wont come out direct and ask for your password like in the rumours above, instead they pretend to be your buddy, asking you all sorts of questions. There aim is to get your location, date of birth, and answers to the secret questions. Why? If they have this, they have enough information to apply for a new password, when they click the "Forgot My Password" links. By pretending to be your friend, and have common interest, they hope to get the details they require by working down the list of possibilities. I will help you - what's your password? A user either pretends to be from Yahoo! or just states that they need your password to help with your problem. Find this type of user in help rooms. They will look for users needed problems, offer help, then take your password.
You will receive no further help. You will most probably find your account taken after you logout too. AOL USERS AOL 8.0/9.0 appears to be causing you problems with profiles and links, here is the fix (if you want to use Internet Explorer or Netscape, ignore this post, and move to the appropriate method). AOL 8.0 and before (1) Goto the AOL keyword "preferences" ie, type preferences in the address box in AOL. (2) Select "association" in the next window. (3) Select yes, to allow it to associate. (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed! AOL 9.0 (1) Click "Settings" at the top of the screen. (2) Click the "A-Z" Tab. (3) Click "Aol As Default" (4) Select "OK", to allow it to associate. (5) Try a profile, it should be fixed, restart Yahoo! Messenger may be necessary! Like ALL the other Yahoo! profile fix methods, You saw the AOL 9.0 profile fix here First. With thanks to Lyrricist. If this didn't fix it, that's ok, 20% of the time it doesn't, just do Method 1 instead below: To Top Method 1 - All Users - This will reset any custom settings to the programs tab. (1) Goto start>>settings>>control panel>>Internet Settings. Select "reset web settings" (2) In the confirmation box, Uncheck "Also Reset My Homepage", and select ok. (3) Start a new Internet Explorer session, if prompted to make default, select yes or ok. AOL: Skip step (3) (4) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, it should be fixed. If you previously had customised which e-mail client or other program you use, you may have to select these from the boxes at the top of the programs tab. This applies mostly to AOL users who need to set e-mail client as AOL. Method 2 - Internet Explorer users 1) If you use Internet Explorer, goto tools>>internet options>>programs and at the bottom, place a check by "Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser". 2) Open a new internet explorer window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make internet explorer the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop Method 2 - Netscape users 1) If you use Netscape, please follow the instructions on this page carefully: http://wp.netscape.com/browsers/using/ieusers/start/default.html 2) Open a new Netscape window in the normal way, if it asks if you want to make netscape the default, select "yes". 3) Restart Yahoo! Messenger, try and view profiles, if it works, stop he Method 3 - Advanced users. (1) The file association is for URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol (2) Go to , Start-Settings-Folder Options (3) Go to , File Types (4) Find "URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol" in the list, and select it. (5) Select edit. In the box at the bottom, you should see "open". If you don't: (1) Click new... (2) The action is "open" (3) The program is your browser. Click browser and look for it, they will be in the program files. if it's internet explorer, it will be "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome (4) Check "use dde" (5) DDE message is "%1",,-1,0,,,, (6) Application is "IExplore" - for internet explorer (7) next box is blank, last box is "WWW_OpenURL" Now click OK apply all changes, and reboot. If you do see "open" click "edit..." and ensure all the boxes match the data above from step (3) onwards. Why does this work? This part of the registry deals with the API calls a programmer makes to launch a link, instead of launching a browser with a paramater, they send a command to launch a URL, windows then deals with this using the specific information a Adult Profiles Compiled based on information from BigBlueBall/TechGuy forums To view an adult profile you must be, (1) An Adult - Over 18 (2) Not in the UK The Yahoo! UK & Ireland stopped access to User rooms, Adult rooms and Adult profiles to its UK accounts. If you have a UK Yahoo! account, adult profiles will not work. If you have a USA Messenger with a UK Yahoo! account you will be able to access User rooms and adult rooms. Possible Fix Go to chat.yahoo.com, sign in, and select "Account Info" in the upper right. Look for "Member Information" and click the "Edit" button to the right of it. Now under "General Preferences" you will see the current language, click it, then update your language to another English version, NOT uk or u URL Not Found On Server To read about transparent proxies, click Here. This error appears to lie in a cached error, possibly Yahoo! was in a state of error, and something has been cached by proxies. For Shaw Cable follow Fix1. For NTL follow the NTL fix. For NetZero follow the NetZero Hispeed fix. Fix1: If you use DSL/Cable: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Select "connections". Then click "Lan Settings...". In that box, uncheck "automatically detect lan settings".
This option automatically sets up a proxy on your connect if your ISP has it set up like this, unchecking this will stop a proxy being used. Fix2: If the above fails, it's possible your ISP, especially smallers ISPs, route all traffic through a proxy as default, even when you haven't selected one. Press the "refresh" button in your browsers when you get the error, this should send a header telling servers not to receive from a cache. Fix3: If all those fails, use tty's lookup page: Here If that fails, use this Proxy Profile Viewer produced by myself: Here Fix4: If your ISP proxy cache is outdated, it might have the wrong IP. You can fix this by adding it to your hosts file. Go to start, run, and type "notepad c:\windows\hosts". You might already have entries. Scroll right to the bottom, add a new line. Enter 66.218.75.148 then a tab, then profiles.yahoo.com Fake Yahoo! Login Forms If you came here to recover a lost password, click here for info ID Stealing For too long, people have been creating clones of Yahoo! Login pages, and changing the page to send YOUR password and username, unencrypted to their e-mail addresses. Once they get your username and password, they change your password, and lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, this appears to be on the increase. What the pages look like The pages are an exact copy of Yahoo's Log in pages. From looking at the page, no difference, all the links link to valid Yahoo! Pages. It uses the official Yahoo! Logo (Which is a registered trademark of Yahoo! Inc.) If in doubt, go to http://edit.yahoo.com/ and log in there, this sets your cookie for all Yahoo! Services. You should not be requested for your ID again. How to tell a bad page There are a number of ways to tell, first, look in the address bar of your browser. Browser Address Bar Safe Login If it is something like the above, and starts with edit.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com then it's safe. Unsafe Login If it's something like the above, its BAD. Only the main page geocities.yahoo.com is a valid login page for Geocities. Right Click Properties As an extra check, right click on the page, select properies. Look for address(URL): xxxxxxxxxxxx. Where xxxxxxxxxxx is the URL. Again, it should be one of the good ones from above. If you right click, and (1) Nothing happens, OR (2) You get a no right click message, this is a sign it's BAD. Form Submission Edit>>View source. Now look for the What to do if you find a bad page Report it to (1) Yahoo! and (2) The website host. If you don't report it, remember someone else may be fooled by the page in question! Yahoo!: http://help.yahoo.com or chat-help@yahoo.com or cc-advoc@yahoo.com If it's a Yahoo! Geocities Page: http://geocities.yahoo.com/v/alert.html to report it. Edit Profile Pictures Editing Profiles To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page. Choose a Yahoo! Picture You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures. Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them. Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes. Upload From Your Computer This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!! File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download. Save your image at 72dpi. Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg . If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open. Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time. Link to an image on the web Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though! Animated Gifs If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this. Yahoo! photo Albums Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album. You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo". This will set your profile picture to that photo. Yahoo Messenger For a long time, Yahoo! Messenger (or Yahoo! Pager as it was called), was simply another contacts list program, similar to that of MSN.
It didn't feature any extra features like Chat Rooms or WebCams, but has had voice chat for a while. Over the last year, Yahoo! Messenger came with it's own chat client for accessing Yahoo! Chat Rooms, and since version 5.0, it comes with webcams, more smileys, and IMVironments! How Yahoo! Messenger works Yahoo! Messenger works on the Yahoo! ID. This is the same for your Yahoo! Email, your Yahoo! Profile and Yahoo! Chat etc... You simply log into the messenger service using your existing Yahoo! ID and password. Since version 5.5, users can be known as anything they like, through the nickname system. What this allows is for you to use any name you like, but please remember your real ID is sent along with it, and is visible to all users. The Yahoo! ID The Yahoo! ID must contain only letters, numbers and underscores and nothing else. My ID for example, is freddy18uk. Although you might sign up with capitals in the ID, it will only show as lowercase. It may not start with a number, begin or end with a _, or have two or more consecutive _s. Abusive terms, and words like Yahoo are also not allowed within the ID. The nickname practically allows anything. The Nickname You can use a nickname instead of your normal ID in Yahoo! Chat. Users of the chat2.0 and Messenger service will see your nikcname rather than your Yahoo! ID. The nickname is not as strict as user IDs, and you can use the same name as somebody else. How it differs from MSN, ICQ, AIM etc... There are many ways in which it differs. Firstly most of the above don't have chat rooms integrated within the messenger software. Also, Yahoo! Rooms do NOT have moderators of any type, user or official. And although users can create their own rooms, they have no authority over who can and cannot chat in their room. What is an IMVironment IMVironments are like interactive scripts within the Instant Messenger windows. They provide backgrounds, and features, such as throwing snowballs, some even contain games, such as chess. They come with more smileys and sounds. Where to download If you haven't already, Yahoo! Messenger may be downloaded from http://messenger.yahoo.com (for US users), replace the .com with your international code for other users. Please note international versions are usually behind.####Thanks to: helpbytes for the information.http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/ YahELite - http://www.yahelite.org YahEh - http://yaheh.chat-help.co.uk/ My!Chat - http://mychat.fxscripts.com Yah-Too - http://www.geocities.com/trolling_around Y!Chat - http://www.ekriirke.com/YChat YaZak - http://messy.zak.2ya.com

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yahoo Some people have nothing better to do than start rumours and/or cause users to do weird things. In most cases, the user who starts the rumour or hoax gets nothing from it.
Below I discuss some of people's hoaxes and/or rumours. Note: You may receive the text as a room message, a Private Message or in E-Mail. It doesn't matter where, they are all false. The sample text below may not be the exact text, but similar, as the messages vary between users.
General Points to remember about Yahoo! Yahoo! NEVER: * Communicate to its users via Private Messages. * Communicate to its users via Chat Room Text. * Send files to its users via File Transfer, E-mail, or any other way. * Ask via any form for users to re-submit their information. * Use geocities pages for logins, or use geocities pages to transfer files. ONLY: * Submit your information to Official Yahoo! Websites. Reinstate User Rooms Instant Message: After many month of deliberations, Yahoo has decided to reinstate the ability to create user rooms. This will be permitted only in areas marked as "adult content" areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas. To be eligible for this service simply right click on the group name of your buddy list and select "Send Instant Message to All in Group". Paste this message into the box that appears and click the "Send" button. This will allow you to continue to view them on your buddy list once the new user room system upgrade takes place This is yet again another hoax where the aim is to just flood the system with unneeded messages. The only thing you will gain from sending on such a message is angry friends who want to know why their user rooms still don't work! - Thanks to o_fri3nd_o for passing on this hoax! Hard Drive Killers Instant Message: if somebody by name dvorak@yahoo.com adds you. dont accept it. Its a virus.
Tell everyone on ur bulletin because if somebody on ur list adds them, u get the virus too. Tell everyone on your list not to open anything from angell11, tewwtuler, and sassybitch. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus.pass this letter to everyone on your buddy list. We need to find out who is really using these accounts.
Sorry for the inconvienience. Sincerely, Director of Yahoo Services, tanwir2001 Yet Another Hoax Somebody adding you to their list, or you adding them is not enough for them to harm you. You'd have to download from them, and you should NEVER do this unless you know the other user, and have communicated the file transfer with them in advance. Only 57 Names Left! Instant Message: the director of yahoo, Tim Buiski, Sorry for the interuption, but Yahoo is closing the system down because too many booters are taking up all the names, we only have 57 names left, if you would like to close your account, don't send this mesage, if you want to keep your account, send this message to everyone on your list. This is no joke, you'll be sorry you didn't send it. Thanks, Director of Yahoo, Tim Buiski, WHOEVER DOESN'T SEND THIS MESSAGE YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DEACTIVATED AND IT WILL COST $10.00 A month to USE IT TO SEND It's exactly that, a Joke You won't be sorry for not sending it, you'll be sorry for sending it because all you will do is annoy your friends!

UK & Ireland stopped access to User rooms, Adult rooms and Adult profiles to its UK accounts. If you have a UK Yahoo! account, adult profiles will not work. If you have a USA Messenger with a UK Yahoo! account you will be able to access User rooms and adult rooms. Possible Fix Go to chat.yahoo.com, sign in, and select "Account Info" in the upper right. Look for "Member Information" and click the "Edit" button to the right of it. Now under "General Preferences" you will see the current language, click it, then update your language to another English version, NOT uk or u URL Not Found On Server To read about transparent proxies, click Here. This error appears to lie in a cached error, possibly Yahoo! was in a state of error, and something has been cached by proxies. For Shaw Cable follow Fix1. For NTL follow the NTL fix. For NetZero follow the NetZero Hispeed fix. Fix1: If you use DSL/Cable: Start, Settings, Control Panel, Internet Options. Select "connections". Then click "Lan Settings...". In that box, uncheck "automatically detect lan settings".
This option automatically sets up a proxy on your connect if your ISP has it set up like this, unchecking this will stop a proxy being used. Fix2: If the above fails, it's possible your ISP, especially smallers ISPs, route all traffic through a proxy as default, even when you haven't selected one. Press the "refresh" button in your browsers when you get the error, this should send a header telling servers not to receive from a cache. Fix3: If all those fails, use tty's lookup page: Here If that fails, use this Proxy Profile Viewer produced by myself: Here Fix4: If your ISP proxy cache is outdated, it might have the wrong IP. You can fix this by adding it to your hosts file. Go to start, run, and type "notepad c:\windows\hosts". You might already have entries. Scroll right to the bottom, add a new line. Enter 66.218.75.148 then a tab, then profiles.yahoo.com Fake Yahoo! Login Forms If you came here to recover a lost password, click here for info ID Stealing For too long, people have been creating clones of Yahoo! Login pages, and changing the page to send YOUR password and username, unencrypted to their e-mail addresses. Once they get your username and password, they change your password, and lock you out of your own account. Unfortunately, this appears to be on the increase. What the pages look like The pages are an exact copy of Yahoo's Log in pages. From looking at the page, no difference, all the links link to valid Yahoo! Pages. It uses the official Yahoo! Logo (Which is a registered trademark of Yahoo! Inc.) If in doubt, go to http://edit.yahoo.com/ and log in there, this sets your cookie for all Yahoo! Services. You should not be requested for your ID again. How to tell a bad page There are a number of ways to tell, first, look in the address bar of your browser. Browser Address Bar Safe Login If it is something like the above, and starts with edit.yahoo.com or login.yahoo.com then it's safe. Unsafe Login If it's something like the above, its BAD. Only the main page geocities.yahoo.com is a valid login page for Geocities. Right Click Properties As an extra check, right click on the page, select properies. Look for address(URL): xxxxxxxxxxxx. Where xxxxxxxxxxx is the URL. Again, it should be one of the good ones from above. If you right click, and (1) Nothing happens, OR (2) You get a no right click message, this is a sign it's BAD. Form Submission Edit>>View source. Now look for the What to do if you find a bad page Report it to (1) Yahoo! and (2) The website host. If you don't report it, remember someone else may be fooled by the page in question! Yahoo!: http://help.yahoo.com or chat-help@yahoo.com or cc-advoc@yahoo.com If it's a Yahoo! Geocities Page: http://geocities.yahoo.com/v/alert.html to report it. Edit Profile Pictures Editing Profiles To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page. Choose a Yahoo! Picture You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures. Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them. Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes. Upload From Your Computer This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!! File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download. Save your image at 72dpi. Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg . If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open. Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time. Link to an image on the web Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though! Animated Gifs If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this. Yahoo! photo Albums Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album. You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo". This will set your profile picture to that photo. Yahoo Messenger For a long time, Yahoo! Messenger (or Yahoo! Pager as it was called), was simply another contacts list program, similar to that of MSN.
It didn't feature any extra features like Chat Rooms or WebCams, but has had voice chat for a while. Over the last year, Yahoo! Messenger came with it's own chat client for accessing Yahoo! Chat Rooms, and since version 5.0, it comes with webcams, more smileys, and IMVironments! How Yahoo! Messenger works Yahoo! Messenger works on the Yahoo! ID. This is the same for your Yahoo! Email, your Yahoo! Profile and Yahoo! Chat etc... You simply log into the messenger service using your existing Yahoo! ID and password. Since version 5.5, users can be known as anything they like, through the nickname system. What this allows is for you to use any name you like, but please remember your real ID is sent along with it, and is visible to all users. The Yahoo! ID The Yahoo! ID must contain only letters, numbers and underscores and nothing else. My ID for example, is freddy18uk. Although you might sign up with capitals in the ID, it will only show as lowercase. It may not start with a number, begin or end with a _, or have two or more consecutive _s. Abusive terms, and words like Yahoo are also not allowed within the ID. The nickname practically allows anything. The Nickname You can use a nickname instead of your normal ID in Yahoo! Chat. Users of the chat2.0 and Messenger service will see your nikcname rather than your Yahoo! ID. The nickname is not as strict as user IDs, and you can use the same name as somebody else. How it differs from MSN, ICQ, AIM etc... There are many ways in which it differs. Firstly most of the above don't have chat rooms integrated within the messenger software. Also, Yahoo! Rooms do NOT have moderators of any type, user or official. And although users can create their own rooms, they have no authority over who can and cannot chat in their room. What is an IMVironment IMVironments are like interactive scripts within the Instant Messenger windows. They provide backgrounds, and features, such as throwing snowballs, some even contain games, such as chess. They come with more smileys and sounds. Where to download If you haven't already, Yahoo! Messenger may be downloaded from http://messenger.yahoo.com (for US users), replace the .com with your international code for other users. Please note international versions are usually behind.####Thanks to: helpbytes for the information.http://www.helpbytes.co.uk/ YahELite - http://www.yahelite.org YahEh - http://yaheh.chat-help.co.uk/ My!Chat - http://mychat.fxscripts.com Yah-Too - http://www.geocities.com/trolling_around Y!Chat - http://www.ekriirke.com/YChat YaZak - http://messy.zak.2ya.com
