  • How can I report a BUG to Yahoo? (in this case buggy Groups Invite)?

    How can I report a BUG to Yahoo?

    When I try to add members to a group, and especially try to add multiple members, I get a red "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content" error message. Yahoo's HELP leads to dead ends and "no support options available" when trying to report this.

    The sever is returning a 500 error to the AJAX code:

    actionType MAILINGLIST_INVITE

    gapi_crumb iZrzINhIhO

    POST members?actionType..._crumb=iZlrzINhIhO

    500 Internal Server Error

    groups.yahoo.com

    206.190.61.106:80

    errorCode 1001

    errorMessage "Internal error: Error occurred while inviting memb..."

    hostname "gapi6.grp.bf1.yahoo.com"

    httpStatus 500

    sid "SID:YHOO:groups.yahoo.com:BcDtACveQORcyn+PZTh3aA==:10"

    See also http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201310...

    which due to another bug I can't reply to or vote on. Due to yet another bug I've been unable to ask this question for the past several days, I get an error on "Continue" before the question is accepted.

  • How can I report a yahoo dropbox, used in phishing email?

    I've received, at a non-yahoo address, phishing email from a non-yahoo source.

    The drop box, however, is at yahoo. An example drop box is toyota.lottery@rocketmail.com

    I can't report this from within Yahoo Mail, as the mail was not sent from or to yahoo.

    I can't report this as spam to my provider, as toyota.lottery@rocketmail.com only in the body of the email, not part of the headers.

    I can't find a way to report this online to Yahoo, as all online help roads tell me to report the abuse via Yahoo Mail.

  • Report phishing email (yahoo is the drop box for the scammer)?

    Aghghg. The new "Reporting spam or hacked accounts to Yahoo" makes it impossible to actually submit a report. I have phishing email, and know the yahoo email address of the scammer. How can I report this account for abuse?
