I just tried to zaba someone and, I got a new window which ent to “yellowbook”.

the zaba site no longer functions as it did.

When you enter a name and click on ‘search”, you get the list of those names.

Then, when you click on one of those naes, you get a window from “yellowbook’ and, it’s all screwd up.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
