    No problems today, but a few weeks ago I was unable to answer questions on my tablet until I changed browsers. Hope your friends' issue was just a temporary glitch.

    No, not today, but I need to reset my password. Having to get a security code, a verification key that times out in 10 to 15 minutes is very annoying on a cellphone with a small display.

    The reason for this is FIVE or more security breaches since 2011, including security breaches in 2013 and in 2016 while Yahoo was negotiating with BOTH AT&T AND Verizon over whose bid Yahoo would accept. Verizon Oath got a $140 million discount because it was willing to take on the legal liability. Now AT&T is trying to buy Comcast that already owns Time Warner and all the NBC channels. Buy and merge with the competition has been Standard business operating procedure since 1982.

    There were security breaches in 2017 and 2018 and some of the spammers are STILL on YA.

  • No, I have answered a number of questions today without any problems. If they forget their password they will not be able to post any questions or answers. The account may have been suspended I do not understand what other businesses buying Yahoo has to do with this question. Just someone trying to show that they think they are smarter than others.

    Not so much answering questions but the notifications button is hit or miss for me today (even worse than usual). It mostly just comes up blank then every once in a while actually displays information. It's annoying but kind of typical for this site.
