What happens, don't you get the email? Are you sure you have the URL to Yahoo!'s script right?

I signed up to this site just to answer your question biggrin.gif I also have a yahoo store and use forms on my site. I couldn't remember exactly how I set it up so I took a look at my code. The first thing I would do is try changing <form method=post action="http://geocities.yahoo.com/forms?login=mzqwade"> to
<form method=post action="http://us.1.p4.webhosting.yahoo.com/forms?login=mzqwade">

Also change <input type="hidden" name="next-url" value="http://www.geocities.com/mzqwade/ThankYou.html"> to
<input type="hidden" name="next_url" value="http://www.geocities.com/mzqwade/ThankYou.html">

Everything else looks normal. Let me know if that helps.
