We dread things like clicking through multiple pages, not being able to filter out annoying posters, dealing with spam, the necessity to create an account just to make a quick comment, staring at butt-ugly templates, never getting notified of responses to our questions, not being able to embed YouTube videos...

Yahoo! Safety Tips when chatting
Chat rooms are a great way to speak with people - because you can find people who are interested in the same stuff as you are, and you can talk with people from different countries. But like meeting people anywhere, you need to be careful of what kind of information you give to people when you chat with them online. Just as you would not give your name, address, or telephone number to a person you met walking down the street, you shouldn't give them to anyone when you're in a chat room.
Here are some tips to make sure you have a fun but safe time while you're surfing the web .....
