I am told by Yahoo that the reason the graphics fail to load on Yahoo homepage is due to a "browser issue". What is the problem please?

Recently (after using Yahoo.com for years) when my homepage loads it fails to load graphics and when I go to my mail account, the page is severely faded and difficult to read. I have never had this problem before and it only occurs at Yahoo.com. If I click on a link from the homepage it loads perfectly. Any help is appreciated.
