What does yahoo mean by SorrySorry, Bad Request. Your browser sent a request that this server could not under?

Sorry, Bad Request.

This is a real pain & a waste of time. Seems there are other yahoo users having the same problem!

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

Please fix it! This has been going on for more than a month.

    Like "Ed" said contact Yahoo Help!! I've had this problem for 2 weeks and I feel your frustration!!! I have contacted Yahoo help 4 times and get the same message back, "Our techs/enginners" are working on this and sorry for your inconvinence. If enough of us send the HELP buttonstating that we plan to pull out and go to another Homepage, it might make them realize just how very tired we are of getting that "sorry, bad request" message. My last mail to them asked "Is this something I've done or didn't do?", yesterday, no response yet? I've been with these guys for YEARS but ready to move on soon. if we don't get an answer to this soon. MSN is starting to look better and better!!

    PLEASE contact me and others, if you find the solution!!

    It is one of many error messages that have appeared for the last 8 weeks as Yahoo has been working on the site. None of the normal troubleshooting tips are working.

    Notify help.yahoo.com so they have a record of it.
