November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

I switched over to it a week ago and am regretting it ever since.  Yahoo mail classic was much better.  One big problem is I'm not being able to delete any unwanted drafts.  Gives a message to the effect 'one or more drafts are open .. close all drafts' even though all drafts are closed.  Every new damned software turns out to be worse than the previous one.

LOL ,, I too found Beta a pain in the ass but I'm now more used to it.  I switched over almost a month ago and also experienced the same problem of not being able to delete unneeded drafts.  But then I resolved the issue.   First open the draft you wanna delete.  Then click the 'cancel' button.  It will take you back to the drafts window.  Check that draft which you cancelled, and then click the 'delete' button.  It will then be deleted. 

Other than these few small problems, Beta is pretty ok and much faster than classic.

Well, I guess yes, u can go back to it but it's complicated.  I've never tried it because as I said, I'm ok with beta.  Normally Yahoo gives no options for going back to classic once you've upgraded to beta.  But I've heard you can for which u first need to disable Java.  Click "Tools"> click "Options"> click "Content" > UN-check/Disable •enable JavaScript• > click OK. Log back into Yahoo mail and now you will find the option for going back to Classic Mail.   After  you've returned to classic, then re-enable Java.  This only works in Firefox and probably Google Chrome but not in IE8.  Don't know about IE9.

The other way is by lowering your screen resolution.  This is a bit complicated and can create other unexpected problems so I'd advise not to try it.  It's done thru the control panel, then click 'appearance & personalization.'  In 'personaliztion' click 'display settings' and under 'resolution' move the slider to the resolution you want and click 'apply.'  Now when you log into yahoo mail, you find the option for returning to classic.  But I repeat, don't use this method.  In fact, carry on with beta.  Try the method i mentioned for resolving the draft deleting issue.  InshAllah it will work.  Other than this, there are no other problems in beta.

O dear!!  Sad  yeah, such tampering usually increases the problems.  Don't wanna get into it and end up jumping from the frying pan to the fire.    Well, thanks sis.  I'll try what you mentioned about first cancelling the draft and then deleting it.

It really is frustrating when these online companies decide to change their layouts, for no good reason. If there was truly a good reason then it would be worth it.
Often (in the case of facebook for instance) these facelift changes are actually a Trojan horse method of them forcing you accept new privacy contracts (usually to give them more rights over you) in a sneaky way.

Peace
