That ongoing Yahoo exclamation mark "joke" on The Register is seriously getting tedious....

As for the article it says it was only applicable to the voices service, whatever the hell that is exactly.

I didn't realise that anyone still used Yahoo. Very 20th century. Just switch to Gmail.

How did you know you had been hacked?

My mum and dad use it sometimes but we also have an ISP-issued email address. I have an account for junk mail and Messenger.

I've tried Gmail, Hotmail and some others yet I still prefer Yahoo, I've had an account with them since 2002 and it would just be a nightmare to change everything to another account plus I like the interface and the fact you have unlimited storage because I'm a bit 'untidy' I suppose. I check my emails on a daily basis but don't sort them out enough meaning I still have hundreds of emails I haven't sorted yet!!
