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!

Why does yahoo reject every comment I make? I tried to answer another commenters question and it was rejected. I even tried replying with the word, yes, and it was rejected. Any comment I write is rejected no matter how mundane it is. Why?

Yahoo should be forced to register as a political organization. You can not even post a mildly independent view that differs from their extremists left wing political views without getting your post deleted.

Absolutely not worth the time to visit, read, or post.

Might as well rename the site to Democratic Party Propaganda Machine

AOL/Yahoo rejects valid comments and all right to free speech in violation of their own guidelines and US section 230 of the Communication Decency Act. AOL/ Yahoo must be reported, investigated, and shut down for these barbaric violations of law.

When writing on the factually reported Democrat racist signs against VA GOP Governor candidate Winsome Earle-Seers, Yahoo says it violates their community terms.

Clearly they are censoring against anything that would be negative to one political party while letting slander happen against the other party.

Stop censoring comments.

does not matter if it's updated or not nothing works properly mail showing there is mail there is not. Dark mode constantly reverting from light mode. God forbid you leave any negative comments, they will be rejected. There is no free speech with them.

I strongly dislike Yahoo Search. I don’t trust the information it provides, and I find the search results frustrating to use. The site is slow, the formatting is awkward, and clicking links often opens them in a new tab, which I find annoying. Overall, I have a very poor experience with Yahoo Search and would not recommend it.

everything about yahoo is horrible - they mess with stuff that works and break it. They censor anything that is not pro orange pedophile, and they suck up to this criminal administration
