Yahoo! Chess Kills Me!

[justgowithit]

I've been playing chess online at Yahoo! Games for years (I've got about 8,000 games played) and I've never had a problem. Throughout the past few months when the banner within the game window recycles it sometimes causes the window to close and the game to be lost. Ahhhhhhhh! It's very frustrating.

Just when I'm about to make that final move.... POOF! GONE!

For crying out loud people! Stop contemplating Microsoft's offer and fix your *&$^#@ apps!

Geez, anyway..... I'm done venting now.

I heard muttering about this somewhere else - if I understand correctly it is a flash ad which causes the problem, and using Firefox with the Flashblock extension enabled will bypass the problem.

ytswy, I searched high and low for the solution. While I found a lot of frustration being voiced there weren't many constructive solutions being offered...... even from Yahoo!

Thanks for the help - it's much appreciated!
