Server's certificate warning re Yahoo
Whenever I access "my yahoo" page via Opera I am warned that the server's certificate did not match the hostname and asked if I want to accept.
The server name comes up as f5.yahoofs.com.
Clicking reject does not prevent me from logging on and when I am distracted and don't respond immediately, the alert will go away by itself.
Neither FF or IE asks me anything re this matter.
What exactly is the issue? What effect has my accept or reject decision?

f5.yahoofs.com is probably an adserver, a badly configured one. I recommend that you ask Yahoo about it.They included the reference on their page, and possibly configured the server.
Mail.yahoo.com's certificate is issued for login.yahoo.com. All browsers on my machine reacts to this site. If this hostname is a valid entry point for yahoo, it is somthing you should report to Yahoo, not Opera, since we can't do anything about it.
