Yahoo Mail, trouble downloading attachments

[Marty]

Anyone else have this problem? It began a few months ago when all pictures or docs automatically began jumping into a folder "downloads" found in My Documents. I have no clue why. I can no longer click on an individual picture or doc and send it to the file I want it to land in. Instead, everything downloads to downloads. From there, I have to search by a bunch of numbers and locate each pic, and one by one send them where they should be.

I have Google Chrome and found a place inside it where it was directing attachments to go, walla, it was set to "download" I guess by default. I have changed it but still, its not working. Very annoying .

Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you!

Marty when you found that setting and changed it did you close Chrome and then re-open it so the change would take effect?

Its working now. I had to restart. But another problem: Not all but many seem to be getting downloaded as a zip file. I go to properties to get it to open, select the program to open it, but I can't open up just the one pictureI want, the whole thing goes. LIke if it has 10 pictures, I get all 10, can't choose the one I want and separate it. What is wrong with these crazy yahoo people? Should leave well enough alone.

UPDATE: Thanks to yahoo support. They realize all their changes can cause browser conflicts. I had to change all kinds of settings. (sigh)

I use yahoo for my online button group. All the sudden, it will not make links or email addresses clickable. Very annoying.

I find a lot of conflict with it too in other ways such as youtube and some of my crafting forums. They don't accept yahoo mail and want you to have G mail for google for everything.
