Yahoo Mail not working?

I haven't ever had problems before, but just a few hours ago, it stopped working. By "stopped working" I mean, I can log in and check emails but when I go to write one, it opens up and as soon as I hit "send" the button doesn't click and nothing happens. It doesn't even show that it's loading...If I try to move the email to drafts, it wont let me do that either...anyone know what's up and or how to fix it?

    You are not alone - Thousands of people are having this problem right now with Yahoo Mail. To see how long it has been going on see http://downrightnow.com/

    One person named "mdeunamuno" suggested a temporary solution: downgrade to "Basic" mail by using the "gear" symbol on the upper right of the Yahoo Mail page, then the Settings.

    Just for grins, I'll share my theory:

    Remember that the current Yahoo CEO was an executive at Google just two years ago. I suspect that Google sent her to Yahoo with the task of destroyin Yahoo Mail so that everyone would move to Google Mail!

    The following recommendations allowed me to work around this issue:

    1. Use the mobile Yahoo mail App.

    or 2. Sign out of your Yahoo mail and back in.

    I'm having the same problem ... the best response I got was from Jake who wrote that it was a problem on Yahoo's part.
