Felicity Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 For the past week, every time my Yahoo homepage comes up, it says Yahoo Mexico, and everything is in Spanish. How do I get my old USA English version to always come up? I'm a tech dropout, so keep it simple, please, and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doberwoman Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 In the address bar (the upper bar) just be sure that you have: www.yahoo.com....delete all the characters besides that....and then mark it as "favorite".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Unfortunately, that may not work, as the IP address of your computer in Mexico forces the yahoo.com page to redirect. Instead, look at the thin purple bar along the top of your Yahoo page. On the far right, you will see a Mexican flag with a little arrow beside it. Click the arrow.

Felicity Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Arrow clicking worked. Thank you, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstroker Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 My wife is having the same problem. We use the same computer but my Yahoo is in English and my wife's is in Spanish. We're using Google Chrome. We've tried everything. Clicking on the flag in the upper right corner allows her to see the site in English but it's a google translation of Spanish and we all now how great those are. My wife is Mexican but she wants to see the news from the U.S. and yahoo.mx is mostly South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'd have to say that somehow the wrong flag or something is being clicked. Chrome has a habit of auto-translating pages, so that happens with every page that needs it. That is not the same as having selected the country by clicking on the flag. In your case, the flag should appear just below the button that says OPTIONS when Chrome is offering to translate a page. By the way, the flag stays after you've selected a different language, in case you need to change again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we click on either the flag (in this case Mexican) or the arrow to the right the table opens up that asks for which country we would like, even though we click on the U.S. it still gives us yahoo.mx.

ComputerGuy Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Then there has to be something wrong with the cache or cookies in your browser, because that is not normal behaviour. I just tried on several countries, and it remembers each time I open Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jle Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I was having this same problem for about two weeks with Mozilla. When I used Internet Explorer no problem, so I decided the problem was with Mozilla. Early this week the Mozilla site let me go back to US.
