Annoying and congesting floating toolbar on yahoo pages.

Why is there no 'close' button? Hardly any of the content on the floating toolbar is useful and it takes up over 1/5th of the screen leaving a cramped feel when trying to read the news or mail or any other of yahoo's wonderful content. Get rid of the toolbar OR implement a close option to view the entire veiw of content on the page!! VERY ANNOYING

Hi Joanne,

Unfortunately, a mobile phone # is required for new accounts. Yahoo, and many other vendors now require existing users to add a mobile phone, as well as new registrants to help protect your account. Adding a mobile number to your account is an important account security step.

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN14992.html?impressions=true

- Greatly reduces the risk of an abuser accessing your account.
- If you need to recover your password, this is the safest and most effective method to recover it.
- Yahoo will alert you through your mobile device when we suspect unusual login activity on your Yahoo account.

Yahoo does not rent, sell, or share your personal information with other people or non affiliated companies, except to offer products or services you’ve requested. See our Privacy Policy for more detailed info on how we keep your information private.

https://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html
when an article says read more, let us read more don't stop the article.

How Do you contact Yahoo.. You dont because they dont care what your opinion is.. otherwise How do you contact Yahoo....

make a button for feedback to a real employee and not this stupid blog ****.. I absolutely hate the auto play feature on videos.. If I want to watch a video I will watch it.. Do NOT start it for me.. What happens idiots is that when you got multiple screens open and they all start playing and the same time.. You get computer freeze ups and thats not necessary to have happen.. STOP THE AUTO PLAY BACK PERIOD.. If not then you deserve to loose money.. I wont buy a product that yahoo auto starts just off of principle.. Don't care if advertiser pays to advertise, I have a right to not have too watch it.. I pay for the internet and Yahoo is not loosing money from me not watching an advertiser video start automatically.. I think it is time for a complaint to not only the states attorney generals off but my senators as well.. I pay for the internet and I dont like advertising if I have to put up with your ********* advertising then I want the internet for free.. Yet I am paying for it and having all these ads shoved down my throat.. I pay for no ads.. So I am now after either free internet or for the ads to not automatically start.. I can ignore most of the **** ads.. I have been on the internet for many years now and I have never bought a thing from an internet advertiser.. I will not either.. because no one in our community advertises on the internet because it is in effective to local customers and the businesses.. The internet does not care about the small town I live in.. Why would I spend my money with a business that does not support where I live at just because I can.. What about my neighbor who lost their job because the internet took business away from them and now they are on social support because of it.. I tell you this is *********... Stop the auto play on the ads.. I PAY FOR THE INTERNET SO WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ********* ADS THAT AUTO PLAY EVEN WHEN THE AUTO PLAY IS TURNED OFF... INTERNET ADVERTISERS UNLESS YOU ARE FROM WHERE I LIVE you are wasting you money on advertising here.. Will not buy from you period.. I buy locally and am proud of it.. I support our local economy because If I dont and people like me dont our community dies.. So quit forcing your ********* on us as we pay for the internet.. OTHERWISE GIVE THE INTERNET TO THE PEOPLE FREE.. tHE INTERNET COMPANIES DONT NEED OUR MONEY IF THEY ARE GETTING PAID BY ADVERTISERS TO RUN THE INTERNET.. EITHER THEY PAY OR WE PAY BUT FOR BOTH TO PAY IS THEFT.... STOP THE AUTO PLAY PERIOD....

Can you please provide more details with regards to the specific video you are having issues with? A web address and/or video title will help. Feel free to post an update within the Comments.

Thanks!
