Can anyone tell me if there is a problem with Yahoo mail today?

I have tried several times to log into my emails but I keep getting a message saying the password format has changed. Anyone else having the same problem? Is this just a problem with Yahoo at the moment or do I have to change my password and if so how do I go about it? I have no problem going straight into Yahoo Answers.

If it helps I am using Yahoo Ireland.

Update:

I am after discovering my husband has no problems signing into his account. That is just typical. lol

Update 2:

Thanks folks I will try some of the advise you are giving me to see if that helps.

Update 3:

MDB - Thank you it has worked. I didn't know you could go to your emails from Answers. I was always going to emails first and then answers. I have learned something new today.

Update 4:

Thanks agent 40 I will try that also. Thanks for link.

Update 5:

Lucky you Quizard. lol

Update 6:

Update 7:

Update 8:

Update 9:

    You can try to log in from Yahoo!International website. type www.yahoo.com and after loading watch if the address is the same: www.yahoo.com . You said that you don't have problems logging in from Yahoo!Answers, so you can log in from Yahoo!Answers and then click on the link "Mail" which you will find on top of the Yahoo! Answers page. Good luck!

    I have that same problem today and I am using yahoo co. uk even though I am in Ireland. I am doing everything the opposite way round to what I normally do for example logging into answers first and click on mail on the top left corner of the answer page. For some strange reason it is not working from the Yahoo home page.

    I am having problems also. Looking at some of the other answers you are not on your own. Hope we get it sorted soon. At least we can access our account through Yahoo Answers.

    Clear out the cookies and past web history.

    Yahoo has been very slow to a crawl in the past.

    Had trouble accessing my email many of times.

    Did you see the news, they are cutting back some jobs.

    Yes! I've had this problem for two days. Yahoo needs to fix itself. I am sick of it.
