With the new Yahoo layout, how do I view old comments I've left on articles and such?

    Yahoo no longer allows the tracking of comments presumably because of being caught manipulating user comments and no longer wants people to track what they're up to. If interested, look up yahoo and ap caught manipulating user comments on dissidentvoice dot org.

    THANK YOU. It was driving me nuts. There is no way to track my comments or replies, then? What's the point of commenting?

    This might be the final straw for me, though I was starting to wean myself off of Yahoo anyway. The poorly written articles - mixed homophones, misplaced apostrophes, run-on sentences, and information that is just plain incorrect - make my head hurt. It's difficult to understand what the "writers" are trying to say. Also, there's a strong bias in the reporting, and more opinion than anything ("You've never laughed this hard before..." or "This is the best thing you've ever seen...").

    Now, with the combination of the atrocious new format for the news, we can't even track our own posts. Seriously, what's the point of posting?

    Anyway, sorry to hijack this thread/question, but I thought I was missing something and found this question. Good day everyone!

    Eliminating the ability of it's users to interact thru the comments section by seeing other people's answers to your comments is the WORST mistake Yahoo has made, besides the fact that now you have to click twice on 2 pages to get to the same click and bite article (I guess that is how they get people exposed to more ads).

    Now, if you comment, it's like talking by yourself in front of a blank wall, you will never know if anyone hears you, and you cannot even read your own comment anymore, unless perhaps you scroll thru hundreds of other comments.

    Whomever came up with the idea to take down the "My comments" option, has the most idiotic moron imbecile award of the year. From a business point of view, they should enhance the users experience on their site, not reduce it.That is if they want to retain users.

  • Yahoo is now 100% officially.....PANTS.

    They take away our image, start deleting comments on mass, then they wreck their site, give us back our image, squeeze us into a smaller box that is getting ever smaller due to more and more ads and then stop us from talking to each other and seeing our own or others history and comments. Marissa Mayer must be at the drinks cabinet 24-7. Know wonder she sacked a load of staff by mistake lately! The women is an over paid, out of control wrecking machine.

    TIME TO DITCH YAHOO. They have forgotten what they stand for. FREE SPEECH.

    I'm with most of you. It's no fun not to be able to see your old threads and who likes (or hates) your comments. I've already gone to Gmail, I guess I don't really have a need for Yahoo any more...Looks like their stockholders are feeling the pain too. Great job Yahoo, look for more of those layoffs until someone gets their "stuff" together...

    Yahoo, you have become a joke. I hate change & have had my Yahoo email or a long time, but taking the ability to review comments, replies & the such is just hateful! If you hate the pubic so much that you have to take away the ability to interact with each other, why not just close up shop & sell pizza or something... You may be good at that.

    Yahoo has been adding to my comments and changing the intent of my posts. It happens to almost ALL of my comments through Yahoo stories that I've comment on. To view your comments... go to any story that has comments, and click the "My Comments" link. They will all come up then. You will most likely find many of your comments have been altered (if you are a conservative and back conservative issues). They tack on a completely disjoint bunch of content, that YOU did not write. It's simply disgusting!

    Yahoo take out the entire comment section then if you are taking away the right to check our replies . By the way, had to go to GOOGLE to find out why I wasn't able to see my comments anymore since yahoo didn't provide an answer OR heads-up. Get it together people.

    Best to move on to another site where interaction is the norm. What's the use of commenting on Yahoo when you do not have the option of seeing what others think and say....
