    I can't post anything now, unless...

    I can't make a new thread, or post a reply now, unless I allow yahooapis.com. What's up with that? Can I trust yahooapis.com? I usually keep everything yahoo away with a 10-foot pole.

    Not sure what it is yet but I've posted with it not allowed in NoScript and using the New Reply button? Have had no need to post a thread though.

    But quick reply only works with it allowed for some reason.

    Looks like they're using Yahoo Connection Manager.

    I'm still not clear about the risks. Anyone can explain to the layman here?

    In the past, I find Yahoo to be very intrusive to their users.

    Think carefully before executing commands containing "rm", especially "sudo rm -rf ", if you require more information concerning this matter, read this.

    Well, I am still unclear about this, but I guess I will leave it at that. Mark thread as solved.

    EDIT:
    Can't find the "mark thread solved" link. Will do this once the function is back.
