Yahoo! start page headlines

Today I logged on to Yahoo and found a really indecent headling saying, "Trump finally gets off his [censored] and visits troops for Christmas" by Monique Judge of the Root. The language as really inappropriate for a mainstream start-up page and I am seriously considering changing my default page to something else because of it. People can express whatever they want in the news, but please keep the headlines clean. I penned the following letter to the author of the article in my comments:

Dear Ms. Judge,
Your headline is crass, disrespectful, and ill befits any respectable journalist. If you do not want to become the "trash" you aspire to criticize, show same basic respect for your profession as a journalist, the president, and your readers. My children are old enough to read, and I would never want them to read such foul language in a headline about their president. You may hate the president, think he is the worst there's ever been, and a host of other things, but please refrain from sinking so low in the language you use to express yourself. Show some dignity and class.
I am seriously considering changing Yahoo as my default page based on your article. I want serious, circumspect journalist popping up on my screen, not "trash".
Sincerely,
Bruce Mitchell

Yahoo! recovering my email

I just received the worst customer service ever I was told that in order to get into my account [protected]@yahoo.com a yahoo account I made 5 years ago, I would have to name 4 business that's in my inbox and provide a full email address from my sent box and a subject line(if any). I was applaud and frustrated trying to wreck my brain but its no way I was going to remember something from that long ago. I Was told maybe I need a little more time and for me to call back better I'm livid especially since I been trying to log into my Origin account and I sent a reset ps link to that email not even 30 mins before I called.

Yahoo! lack of objective news reporting.

The recent Yahoo posting referring to Rump, instead of Trump, was beyond juvenile. It was also beyond bad taste. Good grief, where is Yahoo's common decency. What a disgrace. I am an older hispanic gentleman who served in uniform for 23 years. We must teach our young people better than your display of hatred and lies. I am old, and I am not especially computer savvy. I do wish to get rid of YAHOO in every way possible.

Yahoo! adult rated articles inappropriate for children

Lately, I have been noticing adult rated articles in yahoo. I always respected yahoo as a great website and I have been using yahoo email for more than 15 years.
Shame on yahoo to publish such sex-related articles.

For example, this website discusses about sex toys for Christmas. Christmas is for family with religious beliefs.
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/6-sex-toys-must-buy-010000760.html

This site explains about Cardi B's sex life in detail
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/cardi-b-says-explicitly-she-151051622.html

It is time to categorize yahoo under adult category.

Yahoo! biased news feed

Your coverage of the brexit situation is very biased and I feel it is unfair to the people in our country who were the majority in wanting to leave the eu.
You are interfering in uk politics where you have no place. Its bad enough that the bbc are biased towards undermining the democratic process of law, but as a foreign company to do so is outrageous.

All part of the big globalisation attempt, but we here in the uk invented democracy and will remember who our enemies are.

I am sure you will deny this accusation with elaborate wording and misdirections, but a movement is happening whereas "the people" take note of who is manipulating the news for their own agenda, disregarding a democratic vote. Exactly the reason we are leaving, big brother.

Yahoo! yahoo mail

I wonder how it happened that another person is sharing the same email address with me. I received an email today asking me to verify my account on a dating site (dating.com), which I haven't even joined in the first place. When I clicked the link to check who the user is, it showed eyeymacapagal, which is definitely not me so I am enraged knowing that someone has access and is using my email address as her. Doesnt yahoo show something like: "this username is not available" whenever someone signs up and tries to use a name that is already taken?
This is unacceptable and is a serious offense to my privacy. And I need you to take an action on this immediately.

Yahoo! receiving a mail

Dear Sir, Dear Madam,
I tried to access my account at the Association for Jewish Studies:
https://myajs.associationforjewishstudies.org/general/email_pass.asp
I forgot my password. I did what was required of me to be able to reset my password.
Then I got the following message:
Your request to reset your password has been processed. You should receive an email shortly with a link to reset your password. If you do not receive an email, please contact your administrator and be prepared to provide the Email and/or Username value you've entered.

For security purposes your IP has been logged: 65.202.37.3

Still, I could not get the link to reset my password either in my inbox or in my spam. I was told to contact my administrator. This is what I am doing. Yahoo is the administrator of my account. Why don't I get the link to reset my password?
Yours,
Michaela Mudure

Yahoo! email

Hi,

When I someone sends a reply my [protected]@yahoo.ie account, often an 'i' is inserted to my account making it [protected]@yahoo.ie. and I never receive the message. This is wearing my clients and customers down and subsequently costing me money. What's the story? Please get this sorted.

I deliberately kept my email short sop as not to bore people. Now, it's telling me to write more so, I will get heard. This is absolutely outrageous. I should be able to decide on the length of the email I want to write myself. Is it a case of 'he who shouts the loudest? I suggest you deal with the matter in hand rather than advise me on email length.

Yahoo! yahoo home page

Love the home page! However, for a while now, the slide show near the top of the page is not working as it should. After "some" slides, the arrow is on the right to go to the next series of stories/photos. Every day now, the arrow on the right will send the show back several frames instead of advancing. Sounds trivial, don't it? Is this on all the home pages or just mine? It's extremely annoying.

Yahoo! mail complaint

You people keep trying to change my mail appearance page! I do not want to be pestered with it — ever! I do not want colors or other things you offer, and in short — like it just the way it is! (double exclamation points for you!)
Please do not ever bother me about the appearance of the page, which I chose long ago! If you need to make it work differently — no problem — as long as you don't mess with anything else! Leave me alone please!

The "change" Yahoo did to / for email SUCKS !
I forward all email shares to friends, by clearing all email addresses / contacts.
I also forward the information to selected friends by Bcc.
I can only list TWO on the Bcc line.
WHAT is the work-around, in order not to limit forwards to select friends ?
DAMNED frustrating ! Why not make it easier for Yahoo users, increase your advertising
revenues, by INCREASING Yahoo users satisfaction with our "free" internet.

Yahoo! seasonal stationery options

Why so many Jewish stationery options and zero Christian options or even a Christmas tree? Isn't this religious prejudice? Is the word Christmas recognized or against policy at Yahoo? Please explain. Is the word Hannaka more acceptable? There are 4 Hannaka stationery choices and zero of any other religion available as options? Is this fair? Has no one else complained about the obvious emphasis of Jewish symbols for choices of stationery? This seems an extreme bias! Could Yahoo reconsider representing other segments of the U.S. population? What is the reasoning? Are there more Jewish users of Yahoo?

27/11 23:05 票數 36232
28/11 00:05 票數 53657

今天 27/11 22:05 時,馬德鐘 是20683 票,只是一小時到23:05 他的票數已升至 36232 ,
一個小時內升幅太不正常。

如根據過往記錄馬先生的每小時票數絕對沒有那麼多, 他一直都是徘徊數千票,每天增長也只是幾百票。

即使他於27/11 晚上10:05 的兩萬多票也只是由今天晚上10時才開始,之前一直都只是是數千票的。

而一小時後的 28/11 0:05 ,票數再一次異常增長至53657, 反幅不正常!

Yahoo! new feed

Once I enjoyed reading Yahoo News- every morning and evening. However, I am getting fed up with the constant negative news on Trump and the obsessive need to publish every stupid thing possible about the Kardashians. Seriously?! I want real, unbiased news. I don't want to read the author's ‘facts' or skewed opinions. Allow me to formulate my own opinion based on factual news. It's sad that I've had to turn to European news sources for my news on American topics. Additionally, ask your authors to proofread!
