Is anybody else having problems with Yahoo?
I've been out of touch lately but the two or three times I've messed with Yahoo this week it's always screwing up. Here at Answers the Q&A formats are trippin...the votes, thumbs up and stars are back and forth/inconsistent and yahoo mail has some new format that SUCKS..
I lost all my mail and can't access what I'm getting now.
Anybody else have Yahoo gremlins besides me?
correction...."but it's been messed up more THAN not these days."
Thanks, I figured as much because I don't have problems anywhere else. Still it's a pain to not have decent access to my mail. Why they changed the format is beyond me (other than to sell more ad space) because the new format is terrible. They are trying to SELL a "better" yahoo mail format to us, I noticed. I guess it's getting time to just let Yahoo go. I enjoyed using it but it's been messed up more not these days.
Anyway, thanks again for the quick response.

It is not you nor your computer it is yahoo. They did some upgrading and it affected a lot of people. "You may experience problems accessing your Yahoo!, Mail account, messenger, rating answers and other services. You can try switching from New Email to Classic or vice versa.
Contact customer care with any complaints http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/cl%E2%80%A6
Hope this helps!!!

all these answwers are 4 vyears old as I post this. Yahoo has gone from the best email on the net to the absolute WORST!
Each time they 'improve' it they make it worse and worse. I am now positive they employ crack addicted 12 week old brain deal lobotomized monkees to design their 'improvements'
Now the screen design is horrible. the layout sucks, they moved things around without ryme or reason apparently just to appear to have made 'improvements' I kniow no one who is happy with the chages over the last few years and they force yiou to take the newer versions in spite of customers wanting yahoo 'classic' where everything was laid out clearly and cleanly
Source(s): my source is terrible email now from Yafooie, constant errors and no customer service. This 'free' email is paid for by the generous advertising profits Yafooie makes - Anonymous1 decade ago
Many, but not all problems can be attributed to the upgrading which enables the display of more flash advertisements. Yahoo likes to make you believe that you have to upgrade to get no more ads, but a couple of weeks ago, when they had technical problems and accidently placed a script in the box on the YA pages instead of the flash ads normally displayed, I found out that adyield-manager is used to place personalized ads. Adyield manager uses cookies to track your browsing habits, so you may get a different ad displayed than somebody sitting right next to you. That prompted me to look for solutions since I don't like to get spied upon, and I found several good solutions...
Download and install the latest Firefox browser:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
Also install "adblock plus":
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/186...
Result: no more annoying ads! And pages are loading much quicker too...:-)
http://www.admuncher.com/ - this adblocker for the IE (and other browsers) gets highly recommended in several forums.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/26171/safari-... - for Safari Mac
http://opindian.com/blog/2009/02/25/adblock-soluti... - another solution for Safari 4 Win and Mac.
I personally have the Firefox installed and don't even see anymore ads on the YA pages...:-)

We had problems on Sunday when all our emails mysteriously disappeared never to return. Very strange. I've also noticed some of the features on mail screen. Hopefully whatever is happening will fix soon & maybe I will get all my mail back.
