No "off" button anymore on streaming quotes?

Question

I used to have an on/off button on my streaming quotes. Now I just have a question mark (?). I need to turn OFF the streaming quotes. Any suggestions now that my on/off button has disappeared.

Answer 1

Same here! What's the deal? I HATE streaming quotes.

Answer 2

Drag your mouse slowly between where it says Streaming Quotes and the ?mark. You will see that the button to turn off Streaming Quotes is there but you can't see it. When your courser shows click on it and the option to turn off will appear.

Answer 3

Same here. I don't like streaming quotes and can't get rid of it anymore. I've used Yahoo Finance for my portfolio for over 8 years, but I'm migrating to google finance more and more. This might be the last straw. I hate waiting every 15 seconds for it to load before I can continue scrolling down to see what's up. (and it's 15 mins late anyway ... what's the purpose?)

Ditto: The explanation Yahoo Help gives is bogus. The "dropdown" menu with preferences, "third choice" = Turn Off, doesn't exist.

Does anyone know a fix for this? Those silly green and red blinking Christmas lights are just annoying and distracting. I can't stand streaming quotes!

Answer 4

Same here.  What's up???

The streaming feature can be useful but also a problem.

From 3a-market open, streaming blows all prior close data away on pages left open and updates to zeroes....  

Just noticed the little arrow on the page where you prior could turn streaming quotes OFF is not there today.....just the (?)  with floating note that says ".....  You may turn streaming quotes on or off.").

HELP page (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance... says

User Preferences You can turn streaming quotes on or off by selecting a preference in the pull-down menu.

I cannot find such a "pull-down menu".   Page properties in the browser show no option to select  anything.

PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO MANUALLY TURN STREAMING FEATURE OFF AND/OR ON?

thanks
