My Hi-Mart desktop has suddenly started directing me to yahoo.kr when I hit the yahoo.com bookmark. I can login and all, but would prefer to see the US homepage. How to fix this?
Thanks. |

So if I go to google.com, I can sign in using my Yahoo! ID to access my news reader, my e-mail, my groups, and all of my other Yahoo! resources? I didn't know that was possible! I'm gonna go try that right now!
Wait, no I won't. That would be completely stupid to go to one site to simply access another. |

Like another poster said, you can use a country specific version of yahoo.
e.g. us.yahoo.com, ca.yahoo.com, etc.
I had the same problem, but now when i open yahoo, it automatically goes to the generic (USA?) homepage. I can't remember what I did to get it to do that, but there is a solution. If I remember it, I'll let you know.
As far as Google, it's worse than Yahoo. At least on the Korean Yahoo page there is a link to go to the English version. On the Korean Google page there is no link to go to the English version. It's strange because every other regional variant of Google that I've seen had the option linked right there on the main page so that users could use the English version. To make matters worse, in the Mozilla box, if you choose Google as the search engine, it doesn't let you choose regional versions, so you're stuck with the Korean one. The only way around that is to set up a specialised Google search screen and get the search box to use that. I like the search results that Google gives, but the regionalisation of Google is a bit of a pain in the butt. |

Actually, I think you can change that. At least you can change the language preference.
When you get a Korean google search page result, just click on 검색 환경설정 in the top right hand corner. Then select 영 어 from the drop down list of languages and finally click 환경설정 저장 to confirm your choice. |
