Will try to uninstall the Yahoo Java thingy (BrowserCoreSomthing).

Post a version later on.

@Motty Katan - I checked the error console. A whole bunch of warnings come up, but nothing specific is triggered by clicking on Attach at the top.

The issue is reproducible by clicking the Attach button at the top (between Send and Save Draft), WITHOUT having the Yahoo Java plug-in installed (basically, old-style attachment), on Firefox 3.5.3.

Motty, if you want to send me a test version, I'd be willing to help you fix this problem.

I have the same issue: I'm not able to add attachment until greasemonkey is disabled. I think I didn't have installed the Java plugin.

I can confirm the attach problem. I use FF 3.5.2.

@Motty Katan maybe we have problems because we didn't install the new tool from yahoo to attach.

PS: great script!

@Motti Katan - The problem appears clicking on "Attach" button on top, however I didn't try the blue link in the bottom bar.

I re-check the problem with a Firefox clean profile and still can reproduce. Error Console doesn't show up anything.

It seems that this script blocks the applet java required for the upload-file-function.

I've checked both the button, and the blue link in the bar. Can't reproduce.
Can someone check the Error Console? Ctrl+Shift+J or by Tools->Error Console.

Thanks for your help.

I'm using RNiK version.

OK, switched to Yahoo! English, no problem there either. The attach button doesn't work till the java below is loaded, but I doubt if this is what you referring to.

Confirmed the issue with "Attach" function, at least with the Beta version of Yahoo! Mail.

I also have a problem attaching files. I click on the Attach button and the window to select the file doesn't open. I hope you can fix this, Motty, because I love your script.

I don't get this issue. I've installed the java thingy Yahoo! requested.
After clicking the little blue bar in the compose window.

You click the "Join file" (in blue, don't know what's the English term used here) and no windows browse file is opened (Select Files/Folders)?

Hope to here more info from you. If this persist, I can upload a test version just for you (perhaps without the lines of code that currently are for future use, maybe checking your bplus_services.FileBrowse value).

The updated script released 4 hours ago prevents the single-file attachments box from showing up. Anyone else getting this issue?

Spot on.

I could have get ridden of most of the ads with the old script, if I haven't written a poor condition to detect the Beta version from the classic to begin with.

All is well now.

Have a nice day.

Yahoo Mail is finally rolling out their major redesign to all users gradually, starting Aug 24, 2009. See:

http://overview.mail.yahoo.com/
http://www.ymailblog.com/blog/2009/08/an-enhanc...

Would this script need to be updated?

In any case thanks for the great work!

i'd use with clauses, so that the last couple of blocks look like:

with(unsafeWindow)
{
	with(kPartner)
	{
		noAds = true;
		extAds = false
		isHeadAdServed = false;  
		bucket = 0;
	}
	gLaunchProfile.stop("--ads");
}

Nice! I tried creating the same thing, but it didn't work out.

Well done :)

amazing, works perfectly in Beta. You might want to make your descriptions more clear stating that it does allow you to see the search filters in the right-hand side bar which is the feature I was mainly looking for. Thank you this is amazing!
