How do I get rid of annoying text at end of yahoo email?

Using Safari and Yahoo email.  No signature has been set yet every email ends with a tailing set of characters, one character per line as follows:
Preferences § 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = Backspace Tab q w e r t y u i o p [ ] Return capslock a s d f g h j k l ; ' \ shift ` z x c v b n m , . / shift English alt alt Preferences
What is causing this and how can I get rid of it?
I am actually asking for my daughter.  This has been going on for a long time and I am stumped.  I have gone into both Yahoo email and Safari preferences and can find no reason for this happening. 

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • LG Lucid 3: How can I get rid of the text message indicator? It says I have a text message, but I do not.

    I have a new LG Lucid 3 and the text message indicator says I have a new message, but I do not. Messaging is empty when I click on it. How can I get rid of the "1" indicator? I tried turning the phone on and off and that did not work.

    Thanks for trying, Anzivina! You've done some strong troubleshooting. Although I do wish it had resolved this matter, I believe we still have options. You've indicated that  you've done a factory reset. Can you walk me through the steps you took to get there? Also, after the factory reset, how long before this message indicator appeared again? Was it before or after you restored all your personal data?

  • How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

    Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

    Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
    If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
    * Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
    * Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
    '''Using the Stylish Addon''':
    # Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
    # Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <br> <code>#brandLogo {<br> &nbsp; visibility: hidden;<br>}</code> <br>must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
    Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
    I hope that helped you!

    And of course, please post back if you need more help.

  • How do I get rid of annoying popups

    My husband uses the IPad to read and play card games. How do we get rid of those annoying pop up ads while he's playing cards.  Specifically Hearts and Solitaire.  Pop ups will appear when dealing another hand.  Sometimes the entire screen goes black except for one tiny little x that we have to click numerous times before the fame comes back.  he really gets frustrated and i cant help him.  Any suggestions?

    I don't play hearts, but I do play Solebon Solitaire. I play the iPhone version on my iPad, but I see that they have a pro version for the iPad.
    http://www.solebon.com/
    probably didn't buy it cause I already had one. Anyway, lots of games, actually programmed so that you can win every once in a while. I really like it.
    For Hearts, I'd look at reviews and ratings. That often gives you an indication if the app is any good or not.

  • How can I get rid of annoying "Unnamed USB device" messege??

    Whenever I boot into OS9.2.2 on my other drive in my dual 500Mhz. G4 I get a usb upgrade messege window:
    "Software needed for the USB device "Unnamed device" is not available. Would you like to look for the software on the internet?"
    This appears everytime I boot, restart, startup on this drive. I've looked for this "unnamed device" in various places like the extensions folder to delete it but I can't find it anywhere. All of my usb devices are functioning and have been named including my MIDI controller. It would be great if I could get rid of this annoying reminder.......how can I get rid of this???
    500mhz. Dual processor (revision B) dual boot   Mac OS 9.2.x   1.25gig RAM

    I think it's my midi controller. I unplugged iton startup and I didn't get the messege. I've got the right driver installed for it and it's working fine so I don't know why I keep getting the messege. It's annoying to have to answer the question everytime time I startup.

  • How can I get rid of a vertical ad section in Yahoo games that has popped up on the right and takes 30% of the game window away. I can't get rid of it.

    A few days ago, Yahoo decided to put up a vertical section on the right side of the game window that takes up 30% of the screen in the game. I have not been able to get rid of it.
    I asked the Yahoo Customer Care rep and she said that it is not supposed to happen as the game should not be stopped by the ads and that I should try with another Browser. I tried it with Chrome and that ad section was not there with Chrome.
    I was told that it was probably a browser issue and I did disable most of the add-ons and plug-ins but it did not work.
    Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of that vertical ad section?

    This problem is not a pop-up. First of all the problem did not start until Yahoo changed their set up for ads in Yahoo Games.
    Once it did start, the ads do not "pop-up", it is a vertical bar that is there all the time. You cannot get rid of it.
    By the same token, it is not a Yahoo Problem since the problem does not exist using another server.
    Yahoo says it has to do with some add-ons or plug-ins in Firefox that is causing the problem.
    As you can see by the screen picture, one third of the game screen has a vertical ad area. I want to get rid of it.

  • How can I get rid of the text and only have icons in the bookmarkfield?

    Earlier the bookmarkfied only showed icons but after the upgrade they show icons and text. How can I get back to only icons so I can have the good old overwiw back?

    Test this by going to that folder with both in it and click View/Show View Options. In there, de-check "Show icon preview", and you should see the bordered icons go to default file type icons and the unframed ones remain the same. I honestly don't know how to re-embed the image in the icon data, as it does not play well with the typical paste in on Get Info. Hope this gets a solution rolling, because it's something that's bothered me as well.
    Thanks umparrothead. Yeah, I see what you're saying. The copy and paste into the "get info," is buggy, but it does actually work. I have noticed this when trying to change the icon on an .avi file. The copy paste in "get info," initially shows the paste, but it's not reflected immediately in the files icon in the finder window. I have gotten it to show up as the files icon by moving the file to another folder, (in list view), and then... opening then and closing the folder.
    See here the border on the one file is gone!!
    This opening and closing does not work in the folder the file is in. It only works after moving it to another folder and then opening and closing?!? I think it has something to do with quickview trying to over-ride our choice of icon for it's own choice, whether it be a poster frame on a movie file, or in this case it's own "bordered" view of the photo inside. I imagine it might also show up after a restart, but that is surely far more extreme than the dreaded move file/open folder/close folder/open folder/move file back, trick. uuugghhh...
    This copy paste thing is no solution to be sure. But it does work. I just wish there were some kind of script so I can run it on hundreds of photos at a time...
    Any one else out there with any ideas?!?

    Popup blocker is on but I still get annoying popups. When I use Google Chrome I do not get any popups. I tried for hours to get rid of these and also have asked questions with no answers.....I guess if you people cant help I'll have to resort to making GOOGLE CHROME my default browser....thats how bad the popups are!

  • How can I get rid of annoying sounds?

    I just received my first iPhone.  I like it, however, there are two annoying sounds/noises that I cannot seem to turn-off.  The first sound is what appears to be a "baby laughter" every time I send out a text.  I have all sounds turned off  on the texting and it is still there.  The second sound is every time I want to put the iPhone in a sleep mode with the button on the top of device, I get what appears to sound like a "camera click."  I would appreciate some input in getting rid of these two sounds.

    There is not an option to disable the alert sound when a text is successfully sent.
    To disable the click sound, go to Settings > Sounds > Lock Sounds > Off.
