I, once again, couldn't sign in to yahoo! Messenger. I've been through this repeatedly and it's not getting fixed. I've talked to tech people, some helpful and others not, and all I get are temporary solutions. Most recently, the program completely froze and had to be ended. I restarted it and surprise, surprise, I couldn't sign in. I tried several methods before finally contacting tech support. The woman told me to turn off my firewall that already had an exception for yahoo! But I was cooperative. I turned it off for a moment, signed in successfully, and turned it back on. As an experiment, I logged off and logged back in. Everything was fine. Until today. Apparently turning off the firewall like that kicked my mother's laptop off our internet connection and now she can't reconnect. Our internet doesn't even appear in her wireless networks list. Tech support didn't ask if I had other computers. Didn't warn me about anything bad. Not even the slightest hint! And yahoo! Messenger is still being a complete spazz!

The comment section on Yahoo News is a Bastian of white supremacists hatred. I am sick and tired of having to flag almost every comment that people make because it's disgustingly offensive. Since you guys obviously don't monitor it very well can you please disable the comments. I don't enjoy reading about how much these [censored] bags hate minorities

I receive over 50 spam messages daily from porn sites and my filters are routinely violated. I have complained repeatedly, with no response whatsoever.
I have been a faithful user of Yahoo mail since 1998 and I can't understand why they are treating me this way.

Please remove this add from the mail. It contains sexual content and it is obscene, unethical and outrageous!

Yahoo support/billing depart is really bad..Yahoo had a 75% increase for mail pro subscription, not advising the subscribers..As soon as they debited my Paypal acct for the increased payment, I immediately tried to cancel the service which is a major rip-off. They refuse to issue a refund...Yahoo is a scam..

I don't know what can be done but I enjoy reading the various articles you have on the website, however the amount of racist and vile comments in the comment section is disgusting. Is there nothing that can be done ? Maybe shut off comments all together ? Maybe they have to be approved first ? I don't know but it's really disgusting

What has gone wrong with Yahoo News ? Are you out of your mind to keep publishing 1005 FAKE NEWS sponsored by Terrorist Nation "Pakistan" and spreading their FAKE Islamic Jihad News on Kashmir against India.
SHAME ON YOU YAHOO for publishing all such Fake news on Kashmir or becoming so biased against India & Israel .

My company wont let me access your website anymore, your website opens an API to send data to a white listed country, you need to fix this!

You software is making a malformed API to a third world country, someone needs to fix this.
