  1. I am getting Virus Attack Notices from my internet security when I click on some of the Yahoo news links on the Yahoo Home page.

    When I click on some of the news links on the Yahoo home page, I get a Virus Attacked Block notice from my internet security source. This has happened at least 5 times in the past week or so. Uusally the news link with the problem is at the top of the news link lists.

    • Stop the pulsing images!It is annoying & distracting when reading the news to have them pulsing away- I KNOW they are there already!

      It is annoying & distracting when reading the news to have the images pulsing away- I KNOW they are there already! Please make it stop. It makes me feel there is something wrong with my eyes.

        • It is not funny that I can not log in to comment on WHAS.

          Even Whas says for the 2nd day in the row, they can not
          "talk" to Yahoo. Yahoo has messed up my logging in big time.
          My screen freezes if I try to log in. I get kicked out as well.
          If it is not broke, do not try to fix it.
          Maybe I will go back to reading a book.

            • Deleting comments on news articles is not working.

              I delete a comment posted to a news article, and it says comment removed. Next time I view that same comment it is still there. Why can't I delete comments anymore?

              • I removed Yahoo News from my favorites since you now require me to have a yahoo mail account in order to have my home city as the default.

                If I wanted to have a yahoo mail address I would. Requiring me to have one so I can have my city as the default isn't that big a deal. I simply won't look at your news page online. Now looking at AP - where you get your news from anyway.

                  • Starting on May 22, articles with State Farm ad randomly flip to other articles

                    It APPEARS to be just the articles with the State Farm logos on both left and right border. While trying to type comments, the site randomly flips you to a new article, and you lose what you were typing.

                    It started yesterday (5/22/13) and just happened again.

                    • Make the format of *ALL* tabs the same

                      Make each tab's format the same - there is no reason to make Politics different than Business and different than Entertainment. I avoid any tab that changes the format from that of the main, news.yahoo.com, page.

                        • Recently, I have had to repeatedly enter my location for my local news feed every time I open the page..

                          I have my location saved as Baytown, Texas. Maps work correctly and I am signed in. However, when I go to the news page my local news seems to be a constantly changing random location. Occasionally, I get an error that won't even let me enter my correct location.

                                • stop trying to force me to sync my facebook contacts to yahoo.

                                  simple - stop trying to get all my facebook contacts! if i want others to have my personal email information... I will be the one giving it to them. also, i have underage "extended family".... aka - children of friends in my contacts list.... they are not as savy as i am when it comes to email. i am thinking about private info that needs to stay PRIVATE !!!!!!!! for those that want to sync their data, that is fine. stop trying to force it on us.
