I don't have any problems. Do you have any ad-blocker installed ? Did you try to clean Cache ? Is this an constant problem or It happens rarely ?

Constant problem only with Opera. I have Opera Ad Block installed. But disabled that and it didn't help. I don't think that is where the problem lies.

I think Opera is doing something when the page loads to change the JavaScript or CSS served by the Yahoo server.

Here is a screenshot of the error console when I refresh the Yahoo Login page:

I don't know why Opera is changing the served JS. I tried to disable Browser.js and it didn't work properly here: opera:config#Browser%20JavaScript I set it to 0 and restarted and still didn't work.

It's definitely Opera or some component of Opera somehow messing up the content delivered from Yahoo. IE, FF, Ch, Sa browsers all work with that page, so I guess I'll just have to use those instead until either Yahoo or Opera change something.

I figured it out, before I installed ad-block I had used Opera's Block Content option on Yahoo's main page to block a few things. I went to Yahoo, right clicked on the page, chooseBlock Content and then removed all the rules I had for Yahoo and the page came up normally.

So there it is.
