Where did the Yahoo News comments go?

There are now dozens of Answer pages started on this issue.

Questions:

Why is there no explanation of this 'outage' posted prominently on the Yahoo homepage or on the news links themselves? Why leave millions of users confused, frustrated and scratching their heads? Why do users have to waste time poking around the site trying to find any information on this 'problem'? Why does this problem keep happening? Why does Yahoo go to such lengths to avoid all contact with or feedback from their users? Why do Yahoo "help" pages offer no actual means for users to get help on ANY issue via chat, email response or by phone?

Before anyone says, "don't complain about a 'free' service", understand this: They are mining our searches for personal information to sell targeted ads to us -- every time you click, it generates more ad revenue for Yahoo. Do you seriously think they offer their services for "free"?

Why does Yahoo display such utter indifference to their users' concerns? Do they not realize this will ultimately come back to bite them in the bottom line, as users abandon their service for friendlier, more responsive servers?

Do you think anyone from Yahoo will respond?

LOL!

Personally, I think it was the climate change denying oil industry troll hackers who were swamping the tornado thread with hate, fear, and other stupid distractions to stop talk about solutions such as this: "The Ford electric Transit Connect is for people who are interested in environmental sustainability but need a rugged work truck." It was the top story and looked bad for Yahoo. I've seen things like comments disappearing after they were up and time was elapsing, thumbs disappearing or being added all at once to hide a comment, and after reporting abuse, avatars and/or names changing right while I'm looking at it, etc. Thursday morning a poster named Mindy brought up climate change and a couple of trolls promptly attacked her personally:"I hate Mindy" said one, "Yeah Mindy sucks" said another. I've been attacked just like that but only when saying something big oil or the nuke industry don't like. And then buttons disappear from your screen making it impossible to post. Obviously the managing of public opinion is being done as part of an agenda. Is this partial shutdown a test to see how we're going to react and get us used to periodic shutdowns? Is this what total functional control by big brother looks like?

Yeah I was about to ask the same thing.

Very dumb for yahoo to do this, 99.9% of "Yahoo News" readers go straight to the comments.

I hope yahoo doesn't think that we read the news because their journalists are so grammatically correct and interesting...

Huh, I only enjoyed reading their news for the comments. They were the best part. Think I'll add CNN or some other news site to my favorites bar now. :(

Fashion is okay, but wicked evil trolls take over American policy articles,

they have many account and many thumbs, maybe Yahoo say "Adios" to trolls : )

Dios bless a América ! Dios bless a Israel ! Adios wicked evil trolls !

I was wondering the same thing. I too enjoy reading and laughing at the comments.

Obama just made a statement yesterday.. saying his apologies helped calm things down in Afghanistan. We knew it was a lie, and today Afghanistan killed 2 more of our troops. It's up to 6 now.

I wouldn't doubt that they're keeping the comments from us, to try and hide what these muslim maniacs are really about. A year ago I wouldn't have believed this, but Im seeing things more clearly now in our government and media. Maybe yahoo is trying to edit some things, and it's causing problems with ALL news comments.

I don't need Yahoo for news,Iget the news on TV.

Obama got all butt hurt because 90% of the comments were calling him out on being such crybaby loser. So yahoo/obama's reelection team shut down the comments so he would stop sucking his thumb and stomping his feet.

Or it could be because of site maintenance. Idk. Either one sounds accurate.

Sorry, I know it's not an answer but I totally agree! wth?!
