Yahoo User Switch...

Is there an easy way to switch between Yahoo user ID's? We have three people using the home computer, and everytime someone else opens up Yahoo, they have to log out and log back in. Any applications that do this? THere doesn't appear to be anything within Yahoo itself.

One easy way is to have Opera, Firefox and Internet explorer on your PC and have each one signed into a different account. Probably not what you wanted, but it does work.

simple

If you're talking about sbc yahoo in the yahoo browser simply go to sign in menu and choose the user.

If using internet explorer go to tools on the menu - sbc yahoo service - sbc yahoo sign in.

Both assume that you have downloaded the sbc yahoo internet browser

When you log into Yahoo, if you don't select the "Remember me" box, the next person will not have to log the previous person out.

That's the way we have it now, which is kind of frustrating. You have to log in every time. We don't use SBC either.

If you set up different operating system accounts for each person, the browser will remember the website logins on a per account basis. Both Windows XP and Mac OS X have fast user switching, which means you don't have to log the OS user out, you just switch. I've never used it on Windows, but it works well on a Mac, and only takes a couple seconds.

Best solution! ^ I think this will work. If now I can only get Mrs. Redbeard to embrace Firefox.

I have two yahoo mail accounts. If I'm logged in to one and I want to check the other, all I do is open up a new browser (open it up from scratch - i.e. click on Internet Explorer from the start menu, not hit control-N to open a new window from the existing yahoo mail account) and log in there. Both accounts then remain logged in until I sign out. When I sign out of one, they both get signed out.
