Yahoo Mail Login Backgound Ads

10/27/2010 11:26 AM

Hello,

Does anyone find the annoyance of looking at the yahoo background ads when logging in to the email? Is there any way to disable or remove those ads? These are the most stupid ads I ever seen, I'd rather see the hot Maxim girls picture than those weird dressed up posture and with tattoo. Thanks ...

Yes most everyone does (find it annoying).

This is the reason that most everyone no longer uses Yahoo. Get rid of it ASAP.

If you are receiving free e-mail service via a free Yahoo e-mail account, you are out of luck.

Yahoo has to receive revenue from somewhere right?

If you are paying for a premium Yahoo account, check the site T&C, there maybe an opt-out option but I doubt it.

Typically you are at the login page only a few moments, why don't you close your eyes during login and mentally visualize an image of the hot Maxim girls?

"mentally visualize an image of the hot Maxim girls" I like this technique. But doesn't work because if I close my eyes to do the visualizing, I will miss spelling on my login/password . Anyway, it is a huge area to display other ads too.

They are mildly annoying, but at least they are static images unlike those uber-annoying loan ads that are in constant motion that show up on other websites. I'll put up with the Yahoo ads because I've got an email account through Yahoo which costs me nothing and is very useful to me.

Of all the things in life that count as annoyances, this one is waaaay down on the list. Frankly, I'm surprised they hadn't done this a long time ago.
