Go to http://profiles.yahoo.com/username. Unlike Naman said, the 'ad' way won't work, because some smart ass actually listened to my feedback on this privacy loophole, and removed it. So here's the new way: 1. Open that profile page. 2. Go to the bottom of the page. Hover your mouse over the 'Privacy Policy' link.
