Here is a partial list of this week's problems: can't access email account; can't open emails; can't send emails; forward-reply-delete buttons missing or won't work; must enter password over and over; get a "Suspicious Activity" message; get a "Yahoo won't work with your browser" message; can't get Contact List to work; can't open or send attachments; can't play Pool; can't play Spades; can't update portfolio in Finance; can't get Notepad or Calendar to work; can't get Messenger to work; get weird error messages that don't explain anything (554,404,18,999). None of the normal "Help" tips work. Don't waste time clearing the cache, removing cookies, updating Java. Don't uninstall or install programs.
Only 2% of users have a problem. The rest are unaffected and don't understand what the fuss is all about.
Yahoo employees have told us 3 things. They are working on Email. They are working on Y!A. They have made the Security Question their key to stopping hackers and spammers.
There is a good chance that the problem you are experiencing will disappear in 2 days to 2 weeks, but we can't be sure. You have to go to help.yahoo.com so they can investigate.
Yahoo thought about offering a CURRENT PROBLEMS page. That page has not been created yet. Users must visit Y!A>Yahoo Products to see if that day's list of question includes their problem.
The Yahoo community usually shares their workarounds for the current problems. At this time, you can switch browsers or switch to Classic Mail....but those "fixes" don't work for everyone....Show more
