NoScript XSS warning when clicking story on Yahoo

I am having problems too all of a sudden. Anytime I try to access a "story" on yahoo it comes up with a warning about detecting a cross filtering script. I am not a geek and have no idea what to do about this except turn it off! Very Frustrating. And no place here to send an email to to complain!

@Janet: your post is unrelated to this thread, it's probably related to

Splitting from
viewtopic.php?t=20717 to its own thread.

Yahoo has, on several occasions, used some very insecure methods of displaying ads, and tripped the XSS filter as a result. If possible, your safest option is to leave it on.
If it's stopping you from using the site, though, we can discuss workarounds.

What is a "story"?
URL?
