Yahoo! links not working in yahoo homepage

-9/12/2017
- The links to several news articles do not work properly..
One example is the below link :
https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/54e8150a-3fde-3084-94ad-5d26a3832d4e/ss_why-aren%27t-there-any-indians.html
I read yahoo news pretty regularly and find it extremely frustrating when I click on the links and it goes to old yahoo pages instead of the news item. It has occurred several times and is making me think of switching somewhere else for my news updates. The linking of news to personal interests is good though sometimes a bit intrusive.

Yahoo! links not landing to the correct page

I'm finding it annoying to get articles which the landing page is not correct. This happens very often to the landing page which belongs to Viu. Always the video is not what I click on.

This example is the article: Would you bring a stranger to her mother's grave
Landed page: Man in Black (2017)

Please check on this. Wasting my time and data to load.

Yahoo! unethical behaviour

I have a clear problem with Yahoo's promotion of racism with the comments section of its' website. It is very difficult to police social media from time to time however the people making these directly abusive comments are habitual and do it to stir controversy. I have gotten into the habit of marking or flagging inappropriate responses, it happens on facebook and all kinds of sites however on Yahoo it is clear that most individuals doing it are pure trolls. When you click on their names they have over 1, 000 reactions and all of the same sick nature of comments. If Yahoo took the comments seriously like any other platform then most people would be banned or reported to higher authorities, this leaves me to believe that not only is this condoned by Yahoo, it is also promoted in order to spark controversy and attract webtraffic. Companies can no longer hide in the dark about their ill-repute and just like major companies like the BBC.
The same people just get away with more sinister comments time and time again

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/tv-stations-capture-suspected-looting-hurricane-irma-lashed-florida-104845504.html#comments

"MASON2 hours ago
was it N word people ?"

PewDiePie, the world's most popular YouTuber, is back making more racist comments
As an Englishman I find it most delightful to use the N word quite frequently. For instance, Excuse me N word but my spot of tea is not hot enough N word.

Darling1 hour ago
Koons again ?...But, Black Lives Matter...?...Yeh right !

Thunder42 minutes ago
Blacks are Pathetic. obummers sons looking for shoes.

Those same screen names have post after post of just racial remarks without any reprimand from Yahoo.

This is the same with any comment section under Yahoo titles that involve race, Brexit or any controversial topic where the sad minority voice their opinions candidly.

Yahoo! home and away broadcast during 2017

Hi, I am 60 years old and have loved this show for years. However 2017 season of this show is getting a bit beyond a joke. Are these writers scraping the bottom of the barrel for stories for a show may I add prime time.
Firstly the cutting episodes showing the results of cutting act result of a girl with stress problems. Secondly Brody actively doing drugs and violence then last of all Coco actively showing the learning behaviour of having bulimia.
This is not a family show anymore and the writers and senior staff need to have a good hard look at what they are broadcasting.
The shows of 2017 have made me absolutely revolted.
If teens and young children happen to be exposed to these sort of subjects on the news is not good "but a family show" I have to question what sort of writers you have.
I will note: I am not in the habit of complaining as this is the first time I have ever emailed anyone about such rot.
Don't you think kids are exposed to enough in their daily lives to all the above. Why does it have to be shown on a family show.
What I can't believe is no one has complained and these subjects are still being shown.

Something to think about.
Regards
Shirley Caire

Yahoo! yahoo news advertising spam

Clicked on a Yahoo news bar on our Samsung Galaxy news ticker for an article on Yahoo Style, we were then subjected to a "You have won an iPhone" spam page.

This is unacceptable, Yahoo should be more careful who they allow to advertise on your services and should not allow pop ups to be launched from any of your links.

We are disgusted at this behaviour!

Yahoo! yahoo email

My email was shut down without notice and I am unable to get back into it. I have important emails and documents that I need to have access to! My email must have gotten too full with all the garbage sent to me that obviously wasn't being filtered out well by yahoo and I didn't keep up on deleting them. So now my email is closed off to me and I can't get back in. For years I would automatically open it with my password saved so once I was closed out of it I couldn't remember the complicated password I was forced to make up SEVERAL years ago. And my phone number has changed in this long time span and apparently that is the ONLY way to retrieve forgotten passwords. It's just so utterly rediculous that yahoo can force people out of their personal email accounts and not let them back in or help them in any way. I will never be using yahoo again. Please help me get back into my email account so that I may recover my important documents! The closed account: [protected]@yahoo.com
You can email my new account at: [protected]@gmail.com

Yahoo! uk yahoo.com new items bias

Hi I would like to say that I notice a bias towards allowing some very disgusting and quite sickening comments in your Comments section, generally when you show news item's involving crime or immigration or ethnic people and black people in particular in what might be any news item...

This same bias is mysteriously not present at all or rarely when you show items concerning white people and the Vile crimes that they commit for example, you have a news item today showing a Nasty and Twisted individual who waterboarded and abused a young girl and I see you allow no comments..

The same again for the truly Warped and I believe Satanic man who was basically paedophilling his way around in India for 8 years or so and you allow no comments?..

Why?..

Guy Ritches idiotic and Shameful portal of a non fiction white character in aladdin says it all and reminds me of The black and white minstrel show of the 70''s where white people regularly disgraced themselves with some kind of Warped white self Coonery type behaviour that I find fascinating yet I believe is Very disturbing and I consider to be a verify specific type of racist mental defect...

Just like the Secret recordings documentary about the Stephen Lawrence Killers remember that and recall what they said and thought, the level of the comments that you allow to be published on your pages is on the same Evil Level...

Again no comments allowed other than the tweets in the item that you chose to publish.

One news item I was actually Surprised that you allowed no comments on was the mark Sampson racism alegations against him which I reckon are true, and it's a shame that Eni Aloku chose to take that Hush money instead of being Strong and facing the Demon in a legal setting as she may have defeated him but I think she was pressured into it. ..

Why no comments for that or do you actually Feel some revulsion from time to time when you see what your white Patrons say or was you down the pub and forgot?.. You never show much if any at all I notice of people who are not racist although you can sign in to see their replies but it's not the same thing is it..

Time and time again it just seems there is really Vicious and even Devilish racist attitude which I shouldn't be shocked at my age to see but Wow when I read some of these people comments that you basically look like you enjoy putting out i feel compared to at least Challenge you and voice my opinion. ..

Make's me think about who you Really are at yahoo UK? ..

I despair at the reality of this country now and see a Dark Future here and Woe betide us all because now you see the True face of Hatred in this country In a way you haven't experienced before well as different as we've all seen lately. ..

I haven't mentioned Islamic items as it's blatantly obvious what most white people think about that and the thing is I actually agree with you as you cannot really understand how Islam and all its say ideas affects black people thus creating idiots and brainwashed fools to go out and do Mad stupid [censor]..

Muggy Little Wankers who don't even go fight for a black agenda if they were f in smart enough to have one, instead they allow themselves to get brainwashed by what you white people call Pakis I can't believe how Dumb some of us are so by all means I Wish you're more trigger happy white SO 19 type bods would blow them away and do us all a favour ...

You white people must laugh your heads at done of the shot we do and yes I am Totally embarrassed and not ashamed to admit it..

I hate it when some of us go and do that Stupid Islamic inspired Evil behaviour as black people as we have enough [censor] to deal with with just trident alone while 14 year olds get the back of his head blown off with a Shot gun and my Gosh, you did allow comments on that news item and did you read what some white people wrote, look who are these people anyway are they being Paid to say this stuff or what because if their not then Surely you must agree with me about some or all if what I say here, come on man BE REAL and see yourselves in the mirror when you allow this kind of open Public racist abuse network platform...

What's you're game here what are you up to, you're Skillfully and effectively using Craft aren't you? ...

And call me racist or bias if you want to as I couldn't care less, I'm just grateful that the Cops here are not as Nuts as they are in Amerikkka as I guess my black [censor] would have got blown away years ago, or some other kind of Dramatic end at the hands of the unfortunately it seems too many Nasty no good Cops but Big Up the good manz who are human and at try to act human still while drowning in a sea of crime!..

Your Prisons say's it all right, Correct end of..

You think England is just gonna carry on using your Ages old Craft to manipulate the Best deal for UK what after you just Dissed and turned Traitor against the rest of your European White tribe of nations, you're Drunk mate and this country will get F ed you wait and see and what deals you think you're making I believe are just your trading partners around the World Playing you you wait and see?...

And you have Way Toooooo many cameras here what is it 7, 000, 000 or so what the [censor] ARE YOU LOOKing for really until you're all gone and all your useless information ends gathering dust locked away forever or until one day someone sees it to then think what of you or what. ...

What is the matter with you and this Machine that you operate like Metropolis. .

All I'm saying is be fair and show some other views or comments for a fair analysis of what people read about what people think or maybe you think people don't think and you're right hence gogglebox but don't be Silly now some people do think. ...

That's all I have to say...

Yahoo! questions

Alright, so this complaint is about the function of questions.
As you may know, questions can't be deleted after someone has answered, which to me is quite stupid, considering that the person who sent out the question might feel guilty about it later, or they may be getting hate. This just happened to me because I asked a question about my cat.
I don't want to have the question on my account, I hate the fact that people are telling me that I don't love my cats because I panicked over one thing and asked a question.
I'm pretty sure that a function for deleting questions whenever you want, should be added to prevent more people getting a load of bull' thrown into their faces.
Honestly, how stupid are you? It's something that should've been added first.
Being Anonymous doesn't help either. Cause' you still gotta live with that question.

Just fix this.

Yahoo! web page drop downs and pop ups

I love the read some of the news on Yahoo. I am getting very discouraged and am reading less and less. WHY? If I get to close with my mouse to the right side of the page, HUGE Meters open up and cover up what I am reading. It happens all the time and bugs the hell out of me.

Than if I am reading a full article and get even close to the bottom of the page, the comment block opens up and covers the whole bottom of the page. One time I had the comment block open and then METER drop down open and I couldn't even see what I was reading. This is insulting and irritating. We are not all 12 yr old who care about what others are reading and how much we agree with them. Some of us are Adults and don't care at all about the Meters. I would block it all if I could. How about a way to stop them and allow us to read what we want without blocking us from reading. KINDS OF STUPID WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT ISN"T IT?

Yahoo! opening emails and deleting emails

I am so frustrated with yahoo mail. I would like to change services to google but I am a realtor and all my contacts have my email address.

-When I write an email the letters do not come up at the same time I am typing. Email is so extremely slow.

-Opening emails. I have to click on my mouse 4 or 5 times to open. Sometimes I just open link on a different page just to respond to my emails.

-I paid my provider for the fasted speed in my area, everything else is fast but yahoo. It seems as though it has some kind of internal virus.

- I respond to an email and an advertisement opens up.

- I go into mail to forward emails and it is not doable.

- A pop up consistently comes up on my page for me to pay for email for 5
dollars a month to avoid adds.

- This service is antiquated far below any other email service provider.

-If there was an easy way to forward my mail I would be gone.

-Is there a way to forward my mail?

Thank you.

Yahoo! news reporting

Unless you change some of your news stories about president Trump about his accomplishments and you never reported negative news stories about Obama's many many terrible pardons. i want honest reporting, Ivan's shoes and hats gees. I think I will just go to Google they are reporting the whole truth and not just your negative reporting. WHAT IS WRONG YOUR NEWS STAFF. I DON''T NEED ANYTHING BACK. HOW COME YOU DON'T REPORT ABOUT THE MANY BORDER CROSSINGS IN ARIZONA THAT HAS CAUSED MAYHEMS, ROBBERIES AND RAPES ALONG THE ARIZONA BORDER BY ILLEGALS NOT AMERICANS.
