How do I permanently stop Streaming Quotes from choking my computer?

Question

I'm using Netscape 8.1.3. When my portfolio loads on yahoo finance, streaming quotes are always ON. I get a message saying a script is running slowly and may slow my system. It DOES slow my system. I'm eventually able to turn streaming quotes OFF and my system returns to normal. But every time I come back to my portfolio, streaming quotes are back on. How do I turn them off PERMANENTLY? I'm perfectly willing to reload/refresh the page when I want newer quotes.

Answer 1

Near the top of the screen containing the quote, there's a button for streaming quotes.  click the arrow for your selections (off, on, on w/ color).  Just select off.

If that's not working, you may need to contact Y!F customer care directly.

Here's how to get to a page to report your problem directly to Yahoo!

In Yahoo!Finance, at the top right of the page, there's a help link. Click on that to get your here

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance...

Then click on one of the links on the left like quote basics. Here's that page:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance...

Finally, at the bottom is the contact customer care button. Yes, it's convoluted, but that's one way to get there!

Oh, or just click here (if it works). (hard for me to test if it works since I clicked through to get there)

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance...

Once you get there and ask your question, they're pretty good at getting back to you, but you may have to ask/answer back and forth a couple of times.

Hope that helps!
