In the last 2 days I have been receiving a "my yahoo" page with..."location - Omaha NE". Attemtps to change location do not survive the next reboot. ?? <p></p><i></i>

Are you sure that you're not seeing a version from the cache? If you're using Internet Explorer (especially with a dialup connection) you might be seeing that. It's saving a version of the page locally, and showing it to you to save load time. To fix that at the top of IE, click on "Tools", then "Internet Options", then click the "Delete Files" or "Delete Temporary Files" button (depending on your version) in the middle of the screen. It may ask if you want to delete offline content as well. Tell it yes if it does. Now restart the computer.<br><br>If it still doesn't act right:<br><br>From the top of the "My Yahoo" page, right below where it says "Welcome, Havanagilla" (or whatever) click on "My Account". They'll probably make you give your password, so do that. On the "My Account" page, partway down, you'll see "Address/Contact Information", with your address. Click on "Edit", of the right side of the coloured bar. Edit the locations to your liking. BE SURE to click on the "Finished" button when you're done else your changes won't save. <br><br>If you do all that, and you're certain that you've clicked the "Finished" button, and your address still reverts, then you need to call Yahoo. That information is saved on their servers, and not locally on your machine, so if there's a problem it's theirs.<br><br>-Sepka the Space Weasel <p></p><i></i>

thanks sepka I did all of it and havent' yet rebooted, hope it goes away. indeed in my address section, for some reason there was Omaha NE, although until now, my "location" (weather and all) was "berkeley", so I wonder what it was all about. I noticed that yahoo changed the format of the front page as well, so maybe this has disturbed the system. Not that I mind seeing omaha's weather daily, i am still baffled by this change <p></p><i></i>
