Why can't I access posts I've been notified about?
I frequently post comments on stories on Yahoo, and appreciate the ability to go back and read responses to my comments provide by the Notifications.
About a month ago, I started having issues getting to read those responses. When I would click on the 'notification' for a message, the link would open the story and start to open the line of messages... and then stall out thinking about it. Refreshing helped sometimes... for a couple weeks, then it stopped working at all.
The past week or so, when following the notification link it leads to the story... and never displays the comment section at all, much less the comments I'm interested in following up on.
I'd appreciate any help on this.

ETA: I hope this helps...I was sent a Yahoo Updates e-mail today...I opened it and clicked on the "more" link at the bottom of my message....it took me to the page I commented on and I had to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page till I saw a link that said "see comments"....it took me right to the post I commented on...a pain in the butt for sure, but so far this is the only way I know of to get to my posts...
I'm bookmarking this because I'm having the same issues...I noticed Yahoo changed my email format and everything's been messed up since then and it won't let me change back to the old format...now I get notifications on articles I've posted on, but can't access the comments section :(
