When you login to your My.Yahoo or My.Excite portal page using Internet Explorer, a cookie is placed on your computer so that you don’t have to login every time you visit that home page. When WorldFlash requests that page, it uses Internet Explorer’s underlying Internet access method, so it can retrieve and parse out your league/team choices from your personalized data. Because of this, you do need to login to the portal page(s) of your choice using Internet Explorer, with Cookies enabled, and “Remember my ID on this computer” checkbox selected, in order to ensure that your sports scores will be displayed in the scrolling ticker.
