    My correspondent on Yahoo messenger are both getting the "Pink Bar" with the message "There was a problem handling your request, please retry the operation." Copy and paste into the typing area, and re-send, takes care of it. This happens several times a session ... We also have the less frequent but more disturbing problem of messages not getting through, where we have to guess from the context and the chat wait time that information was dropped. We again use copy and paste, this time to view jointly the last several transmissions and what text shows for the sender but not for the recipient. We assume this is a Yahoo glitch since it happens equally at each end of the conversation. 2/8/2015

    Different people have different problems but its true it happens many times when you are not able to send the message due to error, failure of system, What problem I get while sending message is that as I click submit button, the page vanish away and there appears yahoo Q/A guidelines in green colour. I take back space and get the required page. Again when I click submit. the same thing is repeated. Ultimately I have to close down the PC for some time and after a few minutes restart it. Some times the problem get removed and some times still exists. Thanks

    When it happens to me (like today - 9/6/2015) The recipient was getting slammed with duplicate messages and asked me to please lay off for a while.

    This has happened before. ??????

    Yes, happens to me all the time. Just go back and retry-usually works the second time.
