I'm guessing no. I think they could have done it by now if they wanted to. It sucks not getting the email alerts!

Yes, I think they will fix it as soon as it water freezes in a very bad place. I'm starting to think that Lou is actually the wizard of Oz! What they don't tell you is that going to your profile only shows you questions going back 24 hours, so if one of your contacts asked a question 36 hours ago, you are SOL!

I thought the plan was not to fix it because we can also check on our profile page under the button that says to find out what your contacts are up to. That can be pretty laborious! I asked the same question and I was told rather impolitely to get over it. LOL

Well I hope it is soon. It's been a long time & I really miss that feature. I don't see near as many of my contacts questions this way & I don't think they see mine either. I have hardly got any answers from my contacts since that feature has been gone & I miss them!!!!!! I've got my fingers crossed!!!!! And yes, sounds like a robot response!! lol
Source(s): I asked the same question a few days ago & really never got a good answer. Someone told me that when it is fixed it will automatically uncheck the box & you have to go in to edit your info & re-check the box to receive the emails. I was told to go check it then because it may have been fixed, but it obviously wasn't and my box was still checked. Did ANY of that make any sense! Sorry!! - How do you think about the answers?

Dear Wonder,
Although Yahoo is still working on the problem, that will not stop us from sending you bountiful Violation Notices or from suspending many of your beloved contacts.
Thanks for your patience.
Love always,
The Ever Watchful Yahoo Staff

It confounds me why no one just uses the links on their own profile pages. I use mine as a home page and don't miss a thing.

I am beginning to think that the Y!A team is the biggest bunch of incompetent, uncaring buffoons known to man.

I really am getting tired of having to keep checking back on the profile page to see the questions y'all ask...but I will keep on, but no, I don't think they plan on fixin' things. I think they hope it will slow us down and keep us away. WRONG!!!!
- ShrunkenFro™Lv 71 decade ago
Because of the mail issue Y!A is very hard for me. You see, I'm a creature of habit and to change things is just so hard for me. As you've noticed, I have not been on much because I cannot take it. *cries* *cries* *cries* hold me Wonder....*cries*
