Whatever I click on this morning (e.g. blogs and webcams) I am getting a Yahoo window. Not just a popup - it actually removes/takes over. I tried my husbands computer and got the same thing.
Is this a ST issue, my computer, or what?

I haven't seen any problems like this today. I would look closely at the page and verify that it is really Yahoo. I'd also look at your browser to see if your toolbar or home page has been changed. Getting a page redirected is often the sign that your computer has spyware. It is common to for spyware to 'hijack' your home page and search tools.
But it might not be since you mentioned that your husband's computer is also doing it.
I do think it is likely that something has caused your home page and search tools to be hijacked. It definitely does not have anything to do with Slow Travel. If it did, there would be dozens of messages in this thread!
Thanks Marta and Chris. In fact the situation seems to have resolved itself. It was just a problem for a short while yesterday morning. Odd and seemingly inexplicable!
