i can't attach files to my yahoo email?
i'm trying to attach word docs to my outgoing yahoo email and no matter what browser i use, it doesn't work. this does work for my gmail account from the same computer and for other yahoo users using the same computer. I can attach and upload the same files to other sites, just not for my personal yahoo account. I also cannot open files i have saved in my yahoo folders. I've deleted some old files to increase the space of my account but this has not worked either. please help. many thanks.

Been having the same issue for about 24 hrs. Started with not being able to attach files, now I cannot even open a pdf file that was sent to me. I tried opening & attaching files using my yahoo email on a different computer, without any luck. I even started a new yahoo email account, that did not work.
Has anyone been in touch with the tech department. Is this something yahoo is working on??
I frickin Hope SO!!!!!!!!!

When I attach a photograph to an email, the green bar at the bottom of the rectangle benis travelling from left to right but it stops around half way whilt the loading indicator continues rotating. I've no doubt his situation, which has now started happening over the past 36 hours or so, would continue indefinitely if I did not become bored of waiting. Is there anyone out there who can help or are we at the mercey of yahoo?

Same here.
I need to upload 512kb file, but nothing happens when I try to attach files. I have been using yahoo email for more than 8 years and unfortunately can't quit using it since will miss emails from ppl who know this mail.
It's a shame that one of the best email services (if not the best) can't fix little bugs like this!
took me 5 secs to upload via gmail... :/

I am having the same problem, I can attach files in my older account (which for some reason has a blue banner at the top) but not in my new yahoo account (which has a purple banner at the top).
I also cannot view attachments either

I've been having the same problem ever since I switched to the new Yahoo mail. I've restarted my computer and tried different browsers. Nothing works! I'm about ready to switch to gmail.
