Hi there and thanks for your reply.

No I haven't changed any of my settings at all, unless I did something by
accident, but no definitely not. The only two websites I am unable to log
onto are ebay and yahoo. I have tried logging into my hotmail, bank account
and have experienced no problems. I have also tried clearing my temp files
and cache in order to log onto yahoo as this appeared to be causing the
problem the last time it happened (with yahoo only) but it does not seem to
be working this time. I have requested a password but my identity is not
recognised. Its very strange. I also received two different messages
(yahoo) when filling in password request form. 1st message said that the
information I had input on the form was not recognised on their system. The
second time I attempted to complete said form a message saying "For your
protection your email account has been temporarily disabled".

The strange thing is it is my yahoo email address which I used for
corresponding on all ebay transactions and queries (ebay problems too) bit of
a coincidence. Leads me to think that someone may have been trying to access
my account or somehting.

Look forward to hearing your diagnosis.

Thanks

Caz
