Yahoo calendar reminders not working?

Since a week ago I am not receiving my reminders by Yahoo email like before. Time zones on email and calendar are the same, the events show that an email alert has been set, the Yahoo reminder address is NOT blocked...any ideas?

    Yahoo's answer:

    Title: Calendar reminders are not being received.

    Description: Calendar event reminders are not being received by users in their email. This can be a common issue with birthday events.

    Reported Date: 2/01/2012

    Related Error message: None.

    For more info: Yahoo! Calendar event reminders are not being sent or received. It is also helpful to check the steps in the following help document, as a similar issue can sometimes be caused by Calendar reminder settings, or email spam filtering: Why am I not getting reminders?

    Same problem here. My AOL email address is my primary email address (since 1998). Yahoo! calendar reminders were going there, which is what I wanted. Now I see that they're going to my Yahoo! account which I rarely use. At least I now know why I haven't been receiving reminders at my AOL account.

    I am experiencing the exact same problem, and mine started about a week ago too.

    I hope Yahoo Engineers are reading these posts and are doing something to fix it.

    Briefly started working for a few days and now not getting reminders again. Everything is set correctly and not changed. Article is useless

    Here it is January 2016 and I am having same problem. Infiltrating Yahoo to get a resolution is like breaking out of Alcatraz--you just can't find a way!

    my calendar email reminders stopped working 7/15/14 and I rely totally on them for all my daily activities, please reset this function; this is the 3rd time in about 6 months this has happened, is someone messing with the program live vs beta and causing us all these problems?
