I used to love Yahoo, I'm still attached to it in a big way, but it has slowly started to piss me off, especially when it fails to support the very things I like it for, on my Linux platform. So i've decided to post all the annoyances that I encounter with yahoo onto this blog, this is the first.
As a linux user, and naturally a firefox user, u'd think that a rich text editor is a given on Yahoo Compose mail screen. I mean if blogspot can do it in firefox then surely Yahoo! can. Maybe they can, but they didn't.
Try composing an email in firefox and what you will get is a simple text editor, I did not notice this until today when I wanted to post some HTML message to my blog. I thought maybe my options are not set right, but then, well... Yahoo! thinks everything's MicroSucks, only available in IE 5. what?
I know gmail does not support HTML outgoing but hey its still beta, and they dont discriminate...
Having moved from M$ Windblows to linux, one starts getting frustrated by all things Micro$oft. You will hate a site that is "optimized for IE 6" and anything that thinks Windblows is the only platform.
