It's a conspiracy. The evil geniuses behind yahoo have attached a tracking bug to your computer. Because of your dangerous posts here, they know they need to put you down. The change to Korean was a subtle hint to let you know that they know you're in Korea.
Or......, it's simply because you're in Korea. Try entering the url for any major website in any pc bang or Korean computer. You will be redirected from .com to .co.kr. Most people in Korea speak and understand more Korean than they do English. Get used to it. |

Actually, I have been having that same problem. Yesterday, I had no problems automatically going to yahoo.com. Now, I do. If you type in yahoo.fr or yahoo.ca, I don't run into any problems. IGTG has a point here as it has happened to me as well. I don't know why. I can live with going to yahoo.ca, but I do like going to yahoo.com |

You will be "redirected" from .com to .co.kr.

Has not been a problem for 5 years. Not until NOW at least.
Now it's suddenly a real issue.
Yes, i do believe ( HYPOTHESIS ) Yahoo has something to with it.
We live in a political world.
BEIJING 2008!! |
