Yahoo mail on Wii changed to Yahoo-go

rtr1900 · 11-20-2007, 10:27 AM

Hi,

A couple of days ago, whenever I log on on yahoo mail, I get the interface of YAhoo Go! for Mobile Phones.
And I can´t figura out how to go back to the normal interface. I delete all the internet data in the Wii-memory (thought it might keep a cookie there), but no luck.
It isn´t in the configuration of Yahoo, as the layout turns to be normal when I connect using a PC.

Just only when I connect with the Wii, it turns to a Mobile version. I mailed yahoo, but as usual, they don´t answer.

Anybody can tell me what to do?

Thx

Opera is probably reporting a 'user agent' that Yahoo deems to be a mobile device. It is sometimes possible to change your user agent, there was a plugin for Firefox that did this. Yahoo may also have recently changed their CSS so that their is a style sheet for mobile devices.

In short Yahoo have probably made changes to their site to better detect mobile devices and unfortunately this means the Wii is now stuck with that mobile interface.
