Problem with MSN Hotmail & BT homepage ?

[alfa155]

Okay, well you can still use other broswers,

 

Have a try with Internet Explorer and Firefox,

 

If you like one of them more than your current choice then stick with it, it wont make any difference ot your bill or connection :)

 

as for your problem I'll look now and see what I can find, I only asked as I am not familiar with BT yahoo browser and therefore not too sure what options are avaliable to change on it.

 

Another option is to download Firefox, or set IE as your default broswer [ask fi you need me to explain how]

 

Then try clicking the button for new mail again and see if it opens fine in the new browser, then we know it's a problem with your BT yahoo browser.

Alfa, my friend, the yahoo browser is not what you pay for it is the broadband service. All the rest is junk that someone is paying bt to shove down your throat.

 

Use Firefox, use Internet Explorer that is a matter of taste and who you believe. But a Yahoo web browser, don't think you will find much support for that one.

Beeceebee, I beg to differ........

 

Quite a few BT broadband customers do like the BT Yahoo browser and software. The sign in page carries the news headlines, personal settings and it's easy to pick up email - all from the one page.

 

Also, the CD installs the BT Desktop Help system, router setup software, Softphone setup and a link to online help.

 

The non-techie's out there do use it and I can kinda see why.

 

Go back 2 or 3 years and it was a real pain because PC's in alot of homes were not fast enough to accomodate all the software, but now most new PC's can run it just fine.

 

Course the likes of you and me would shred the CD rather than install it :)

 

But that's another story...........

I consider that a big compliment! :)

 

Fair enough but to me it is much like AOL, all bundled in a nice seemingly neat and necessary package, and what I dislike most is that users like alfa are not even made aware that they have a choice.

I agree with scott here, sorry Barry :P

 

But as Alfa has claimed to use hotmail mainly then I see no problem in switching over to another browser as hotmail is not browser specific :)
