WTF? I can't even access my email as of 4:20pm and the entire yahoo homepage because apparently it won't support IE 7 for a few weeks! Now I have to roll back!

Love the tabs. But I can't stand the new UI of IE 7. Anyone else hate it? I've rolled back to 6.

I like it...but also rolled back because of this issue...at least for a few weeks and then i'll upgrade again.

yahoo homepage works fine for me on ie7.... i don't have yahoo email though so i can't check that for you. If you liked the tabs, every other mainstream browser already has them. Firefox, Opera, and Netscape are options you can try.

WTF? That's odd....it even says at the bottom of the screen that it works for IE 6 and Firefox 1.5 and that "other browser versions" will be supported in the next few weeks. The only thing I can think of is that it took them a bit longer to get IE 7 working with it.

What version of IE7 are you running on? There has been newer released betas that you can update to, which might help. I'm have IE7 Beta2, though there's already a Beta3 for some time now.

Apparently, I learned from the forum for the PVR software I use (GBPVR) that IE7 does some nasty things with the .net framework 2 and makes some security changes in the system that has caused all kinds of grief.
I'll take a pass on it until a .1 real version is released. (and it's not even out of beta yet :twisted: )

Well after rolling back I decided to upgrade again to IE 7 after hearing the few here that use it and have no problem. Well, once again it doesn't work....BUT I just tried yahoo.COM at it worked! So I can check my email using yahoo.COM, but yahoo.CA continues to not work for me!

And this confirms it:
Why miss out?
In order to see all the new Yahoo! home page has to offer, please upgrade to a more recent browser.
Supported browsers include:
Internet Explorer 6
Firefox 1.5
Coming soon: Internet Explorer 7 (Beta 2) optimized by Yahoo!
Safari 1.2

IE7 is still in development, isn't it; it's not the final version.
I wouldn't expect everything to work properly.
I've tried IE7 and while better than the previous Internet Explorer, it's nowhere near as good as Firefox.

Is firefox not slower?
