Yahoo Mail, anyone?

Our Yahoo Mail has been acting wonky all afternoon. Anyone else having issues?

Yahoo is my home page and it's been flaky (not responding) 2 days.

Since they added ads everywhere, it's been a nightmare. Unfortunately, I use it as my main email so changing it to another service won't be easy. I didn't use the email attached to my internet provider because I didn't want the problem if I changed providers.

ITA. I hate the new format of it. Mine scrolls up and down randomly, and I find myself trying to use the cursor without hitting one of those ads. I miss the old format, which was much easier to use!

If you pay Yahoo the ransom of $5 a month they will remove the ads.

I'm not going to pay them anything so I may have to spend a week of my life choosing a new email service and notifying everyone that has my old one to change to the new one.

Well, things seem to bevbe sorta of back to normal. I agree with other comments that Yahoo can be a pain, especially with more ads and constantly changing formats.

Same here I have had the same yahoo e mail for the last 15 years since I have had a computer, it would be a huge hassle to change at this point

yes, it's been awful for the last week for me. many messages are coming in a day after they were originally sent. hopefully, they'll have it fixed soon.

ATT is my ISP, and they are 'powered by' Yahoo. It's ALWAYS wonky. It's kind of like QVC - every time they decide to make improvements, things get worse.

It's been a hideous mess for a while now.

Yahoo had an ad on the right side of my inbox that was so disgusting it made me really want to quit them today. It was a diet ad and the girl had on such a tiny bikini bottom - it was really strange. Rather skankyl. Never saw such a thing. A new low. Yuk

The thing that annoys me is when I click on my mail icon it says I have anywhere form 200 to 500 messages (no way) and it is slow and I too dislike all the advertising but as I have had it for so long I do not want to change.

With ATT/Yahoo they've been doing that thing with the ads along the right side of the mailboxes for a while and it was driving me crazy. I pay enough for internet that I shouldn't have to endure flash banner ads - well, that's my POW anyway.

Anyway, I installed AdBlock Plus for when I use Chrome and finally they got AdBlock Plus for Internet Explorer, too. That precludes all those stoooopid flash banner ads completely.
