    Yahoo is having avatar problems, maybe in their efforts to fix it, they're messing with other stuff too - like emailing links to questions from contacts. IDK, I usually just go to the website. But I've been having email problems with YA's email link on my profile for months now. I can send email to other YA users, but I'm not sure if they get it, and I don't get email from others even though it's set up to allow it.

    EDIT: to the person below me: On Bill Gates last day at Microsoft earlier this week, Yahoo posted an article that said something to the effect of "Bill Gates says Yahoo takeover unlikely, on last day at Microsoft." Besides the threat of Yahoo becoming MSYahoo has been going on for months now. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with MS. Yahoo has bugs, it always has it always will, and Answers has even more of them.

    that's quite uncomplicated to tell it particularly is a rip-off a million - Yahoo will constantly tackle you with the help of your first and final call in any correspondence 2 - All Yahoo emails could have a pink Y! emblem to the left of the message on your Inbox 3 - Yahoo spells its call Yahoo! with the exclamation think approximately all professional correspondence 4 - Yahoo would under no circumstances ask you to click on any link, particularly a non-Yahoo link Yahoo would not close account except there is not any pastime for greater beneficial than 6 months. as long as you log into Yahoo mail or Yahoo solutions a minimum of as quickly as each 6 months your account isn't deleted

    Hmmm....I haven't either. Well, they did change the website a bit a little while ago. I guess that was one of the changes. Darn. I'll still look for questions from my contacts whenever I come on here, though, so don't worry.

    I'm wondering if this whole Yahoo Answers is being revamped because Microsoft is thinking of taking over Yahoo.
