I did. It seemed to clear up, though.

[spokeshave]

seems to be working now......I guess the day shift took over

[Fenhalls555]

Yes, me also. By the way, I’m in the UK at present.

[Rockingham]

I am also now able to get back in consistently. Problem solved, it seems.

When logged into my yahoo mail this morning, it says my session has expired and I need to sign in again. Then it keeps on asking me to sign in again. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I had exactly the same problem about an hour ago. But it's working fine now. Glad to know it was not a problem with my computer.

Login issues for everyone for Christmas.

It's the old Yule log . . . in.

[DFG]

Had the same problem this morning. Working okay now.

I’m phasing out of Yahoo and into Gmail.

That's the same as solving a problem with a bigger problem.

I'd avoid Gmail the same way I would avoid swimming with sharks.

The only thing I user Google-related, is it's search engine, but that's after I feel that Bing has failed me.

[adorno]

I suspect (or could it be a conspiracy theory on my part) that this is Marissa Mayer tweaking and re-arranging the way Yahoo mail works, to make it more Gmail like, for an eventual merger of the two email sites. She's still in love with Google, where she came from, and I wouldn't put it over her to try to get Yahoo merged with Google some time in the near future.

What email service do you recommend?

[Utilizer]

...I’m looking for alternatives...

"https://www.fastmail.fm/"

Wonderful service. Have used it for years with no problems.

[Utilizer]

https://www.fastmail.fm/

Works well. Plus, using Opera’s email function I can set Opera up to check the email account(s) automatically and then read them without having to actually login to the email site unless I need to respond to an email or delete spam.

Opera also pops up a temporary little notice to let you know when a new message has arrived. Handy.

[E.G.C.]

Had this very same problem this morning. It seems to be fixed for the moment now.

[Drango]

Works for me. (3 spams this morning)

[null and void]

I did a couple days ago.

[null and void]

Yeah, first Target, now Yahoo. Who’s next?

[null and void]

I’m beta testing StartMail. So far so good...

[Windflier]

I’m good, as long as I don’t shut down my browser. If I do, I have to sign in again.

I’ll bet this is another unannounced (and un-surveyed) change to the basic function of the site. I swear, I’m *this* close to dumping Yahoo Mail and going back to Thunderbird. The new changes to the site really suck.

[Windflier]

Like other possessive pronouns, (e.g.. ours, its, his, hers, theirs), the word "yours" does not include an apostrophe.

The misplaced apostrophe has become an epidemic in our culture. There's literally a contagion of illiteracy occurring.

[Windflier]

I used to like Yahoo's mail service, but they made a lot of changes last fall that made it worse, so I, too am phasing out of Yahoo. I wish they had heeded the old saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The huge changes to the Yahoo mail service were put in place by their new CEO, who, like all new brooms, just has to sweep everything clean.

The Yahoo using public HATES the new changes. Find any discussion thread about it, and you'll have a hard time finding a single complimentary comment. The public has been screaming at the top of their lungs about it for months now, and Yahoo hasn't done a thing to abide by their customers' wishes.
