'Spose I should ask Yahoo this, but wondering why, lately, if I'm trying to type an email in Yahoo, my keyboard goes very sluggish and unresponsive, with a long delay before any letters appear on the screen, or having to repeatedly hit the same key to get anything up there? Same applies to trying to correct or delete text.
I don't have the same problem in using my other email accounts or in MSWord or any other program, including typing here - only in Yahoo.

Quick look shows 3 suggestions for this:

1) if using new beta, revert to old standard versions

2) disable rich text formatting

3) install latest version of Flash

I have no experience of any of them - that was just search results. You could try them in order 2, 3, 1 (probably simplest to hardest).
