Wrong photo displays in Yahoo Mail in the TO field

My profile photo is correct, but someone else's photo started to display for my record when sending email or searching for myself in Yahoo Mail. I would see the wrong photo when I type my email address in the TO field when sending an email to myself. I would see the wrong photo when I search for myself in the Yahoo Mail search box. 

I deleted my contact record. I had created a contact record for myself so I could quickly send messages to myself when I want to save information in Yahoo Mail. I still saw the wrong photo.

SOLUTION: I cleared my cache and re-opened the browser.  My correct from my profile now displays.

I think the key is to make sure the correct photo is in your profile. Delete any contact records you have for yourself.  Then, clear your cache. I'm going to re-add my contact record.

I suspect other email recipients were not seeing the wrong photo. Just me.

I'm publishing this post, because Yahoo Answers does not have the correct answer posted and I can't figure out how to post the correct answer in the thread.

 

How to configure wireless Klipsch RSB-14 surround sound with RW-1 rear speakers

I wasted many hours over three days configuring the wireless Klipsch RSB-14 soundbar and sub-woofer with the RW-1 rear speakers. This could have been avoided if Klipsch offered one simple instruction - DO NOT press the SUR (surround sound) button on the remote!

The SUR button is only used when you want to simulate surround sound using only the soundbar and sub-woofer. When you configure two RW1 rear speakers with the soundbar and sub-woofer, you now have a true surround sound set of 4 speakers. As long as the SUR light is off on the soundbar, you will hear sound out of the rear speakers. 

Here are the steps I followed:

1. The soundbar recognizes the subwoofer automatically when you turn it on.You must update the firmware on all new speakers: soundbar, sub-woofer and rear speakers. You can only update the soundbar firmware using a flash drive with nothing but the two files on it. Firmware is updated on the subwoofer and RW-1 speakers using the app on your mobile device. The firmware update app is different from the Klipsch Stream app. 
2. IMPORTANT: All speakers must be connected to the same wifi network as your mobile device. Turn OFF the advanced setting on your mobile device that changes to cell signal when wifi signal is lost.
3. Once the firmware is updated, you can begin to configure your wireless speakers. Start with the soundbar. Push and hold the wifi button on the back. Release the button after you hear the second tone. Use the app to search for soundbar/subwoofer.From the Klipsch Stream app, choose the Setup icon (wheel) in the upper right and choose: Set Up Play-Fi Device. You might have to try a few times. Name it i.e. Soundbar and Subwoofer or Front Speakers.
4. Plug in the first RW-1. Follow the same procedure as Step 3. Name it Left Rear, for example. 
5. Plug in the second RW-1. Follow the same procedure as Step 3. Name it Right Rear, for example.
6. You're ready to configure Surround Sound. Choose the Setup wheel icon and select Surround Sound.
7. Pair the rear speakers. Indicate which is front, left and right, respectively. Indicate the distance from the front to where you will be seated. Indicated the distance from the front to the rear speaker, respectively.
8. Complete the pairing step. You will see the diagram of the speakers configuring themselves.
9. Last step: Edit the sound level of the rear speakers on a scale of 1-10 relative to the sound level of the front speakers. Do this by editing the Surround Sound group. Then click the Edit button for the Relative Volume of the rear speakers. The default is 0. If you don't increase this, you might not hear anything from the rear speakers.
10. Test your setup using a movie that is likely to output sound to the rear speakers i.e. Star Wars Return of the Jedi. The house will shake and the sound is impressive!

If you don't hear any sound from the rear speakers, remember to check that the SUR light is OFF on the sound bar. This is the fake surround sound button for use with the soundbar and sub-woofer without rear speakers.

NETGEAR WIFI EXTENDERS

I also use one Netgear Wifi Extender AC1200 at one end of the first floor and a Netgear Wifi Extender AC1900 in the living room where the Klipsch speakers are setup. They need a strong signal. My broadband modem is on the second floor not near the speakers. Even with the strong signal, I still have to search for the speakers several times sometimes before the Klipsch Stream mobile app finds the speaker during setup. Don't give up. Keep searching and the mobile app will eventually find the speaker.

Lenvo Yoga 3 Pro Review - Love it!!

Just got "my little clementine" 5 days ago and I love it!! I've heard negative reviews of Windows 8 and I find it very intuitive. I love the combination tablet/laptop concept. I prefer the touchpad of my 2009 Lenovo Ideapad, but that's the only negative. It's harder to left click the Yoga 3. I find myself using the touch screen more because of this. I'm still trying to configure it so the soft keyboard ONLY when I "do the back bend". It's constantly popping up when I don't want it to even though I set it not to display. Still...not a big deal. The 13" screen is great. I love how thin it is. Battery lasts 5-6 hours. And, it's lightning fast!!! I get a new laptop every 6 years. I once had a Thinkpad (made by Lenovo for IBM) and loved it. Since then, I only buy Lenovo. Although my Ideapad (Vista) is still running great, I just couldn't resist getting the Yoga 3 Pro any longer. Love it!

I recommend the magicJack!

I recommend the magicJack if you want unlimited long distance calling anywhere in the United States or Canada.

I have a Mac Mini that is connected to my TV and runs all the time. The magicJack is plugged into one of the USB ports. Any standard phone plugs into the magicJack. If you're using a cordless handset, it shouldn't matter to you that the base needs to be somewhat near the computer.

If your computer isn't running, you are on the phone or don't answer, or you choose to ignore an incoming call, the call will go o to voicemail. Your voicemail is stored online so you can access it from anywhere. You will also receive an email with a .wmv file attachment of the voicemail.  You can delete them from your voicemail account, but store them in your email if you like.

Caller ID is included!

You choose your area code and exchange after you receive the magicJack and plug it in for the first time. It wasn't until then that I discovered that there are no 603 area code numbers available (New Hampshire).  Vermont is available - go figure!  I grew up in Massachusetts, so I chose an area code and exchange near my hometown.

I recommend the magicJack primarily for making outbound long distance calls.  I'm not keen on using a permanent number that is out of state. For less than twenty dollars a month, I keep my regular landline number for in-state calls and I don't have to change my number.  The magicJack Frequently Asks Questions indicates that "someday" you may be able to transfer your number. I'm not holding my breath.

For $19.95 annually for the magicJack service, it's well worth saving cell phone minutes when making calls from home. You can purchase five years of service for $69.95, but I'm going to wait a while and make sure I really want to use this indefinitely.

You register your magicJack number with 911 through the magicJack software, so no risk there.

Take your magicJack with you when you travel with your laptop. Plug the hotel phone or borrow a phone and make long distance calls for free!

International long distance plans are available for an additional charge.

The day I can replace my magicJack number with the landline number that I've had for years, is the day I will get rid of my landline forever.  In the meantime, I still recommend the magicJack.
