Re:Yahoo email and inability to 'Flag' msgs

Anyone know why the flag symbol for the flag messages option doesn't show/work? It's very annoying!!

Any help appreciated.

    Ignore the spam from the most !!!!!! spammer on the internet!!

    The flagging works okay for me both in IE and Firefox
  • I've tried it in Google Chrome too and it doesn't work there either. However it always used to - that's why it's so annoying.

    What's not working??

    Can you describe the problem?

    Can you see the little grey dots where the flags are?
  • There's nothing - no dots. The only thing that appears is the little msg Flag or Clear Flag when I hover over where the flag should be. Also ticking the box and choosing Flag message from the drop down box also results in nothing!

    I've tried it on IE 7, IE 8 beta , Firefox 3.05, Opera 10 alpha and Chrome (all on Vista Ultimate 32bit).

    No problems at all.

    Are you using Yahoo mail classic or the upgraded mail (I've tried both but flags work in either mail version)

    Flagging works for me
  • I'm using Classic Yahoo mail.

    In fact I've just noticed that the formatting toolbar is not present when composing an email!
