      Hi
      For about 4 days I have been unable to log into Yahoo mail through my Opera browser, (but it works fine in Chrome,) it won't accept my log in details and then it switches to a foreign language.
      I have tried completely uninstalling Opera, using Revo uninstaller, and then re-installing it but to no avail!
      Can anyone offer any advise please??
      Regards
      Dave

          @leocg Hi
          When I enter my login details and click "login" the screen reverts back to the login start screen with no information in the fields and it has switched to another language !

            @davidrpotter Are cookies enabled? Are you using VPN by chance?

                Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera, but don't install any extensions and don't enable Opera Sync.

                Does it work fine there at least?

                  Hi
                  After you asked about cookies I though I would look into this more thoroughly, although cookies are enabled I found that one of the yahoo cookies was marked as blocked, having enabled that, all is now working.
                  Thanks for your insight, I have no idea how I blocked it but at least you put me on the right path to find the problem.
                  Great forum, thanks for the help
                  Dave
