Turn off the autostart on the videos. I open multiple items so I can read/view and autostart is unfriendly.
Turn off the autoplay on the videos. Makes using them unfriendly and difficult. Even worse, it picks the next video to play and I have to hit back to find the next one I was going to pick. If I am interested in a news subject, I don't want something coming up that is totally different from that story.

Thanks for you put in. Could you let me know which video URL you are seeing auto-play?

Forcing your users to use your 'new', 'improved'' features.
1. Don't understand why you force your users to use your new features you think we would like. I've tried you 'new, improved email' before and within a week went back to the old email. After receiveing an email from David McDowell, Sr. Director of Product Management, Yahoo! Mail saying I will be once again forced to use the new email and the old one will no longer be available I am forced to start searching and using a different email system. Might I suggest BEFORE you roll out new features you should take a poll of your users and…

I have my.yahoo.com. Please do not use popups to ask me if I want yahoo as my homepage.
I already have my.yahoo.com as my home page. Please check my cookie before you continuously annoy me with your popup bar asking me if I want yahoo as my homepage. It is extremely annoying regardless of my homepage setting but since I already have it set to one page on your site, it's doubling annoying that you don't check first by reading your own cookie. Do you actually have any creative or intelligent people who work at Yahoo? And you wonder why your website and company have gone nowhere.
Ps. why do you need my email address again if I'm…

Can't comment anymore?
It's been several days, I can't comment on articles from my computer. I tried every browser, cleared cookies, etc.... the comment section will not show up for me.
I'm still getting thumbs up and replies to old comments I made, so obviously SOME people can see them. However for me, not a single article has a comments area.
Without comments, i might as well go to a different news site.....

I was very disappointed that Yahoo news is not addressing very critical new items. How can the Benghazi house review not be addressed?
I am a regular reader of Yahoo News and cannot understand how the events around Benghazi and the killing of Ambassador Stevens, which is being reviewed by the Legislators didn't find its way as one of the many NEWS stories on Yahoo NEWS. Please address the logic in which NEW is selected by Yahoo as News?

I hate, hate, HATE, the new format for the comics.
The comics show up so large that they are blurred / distorted because they are displayed at some huge, well above 100% size ratio. Also, because they are displayed so large, many of the panels do not show up on my monitor in their entirety. Therefore I have to scroll up and down a few times just to see and then 'get' the comic. Please change the comics size ratio back to 100% of the artists intended size. And no, the issue isn't my browser or screen settings. Every other web page displays normally, and the screen that lists all…

Every time I go to yahoo news it shows my location in a different place.
I click the change location button and enter my location but it doesn't do anything. My location is East Lynn, WV, US, 25512. Also my yahoo account shows my default location as Tyler, TX. I am nowhere near Tyler TX and have never had an ISP that was in nor near Tyler TX. Yahoo needs to work on getting their services working as they should be. You spend to much time working on ad videos, and flash animations, and other annoying junk that people don't want. How can you expect paying users to keep paying, or attract new paying users,…

YAHOO NEWS PAGE WILL NOT RETURN TO DEFAULT LOCATION
I USE YAHOO NEWS PAGE AS MY HOME PAGE SINCE IT IS MUCH EASIER TO NAVIGATE THAN THE MAIN YAHOO HOME PAGE. IT WILL NOT RETURN TO DEFAULT LOCATION FOR LOCAL NEWS. WHEN I USE THE "CHANGE LOCATION" LINK, NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TYPE IN THE DEFAULT LOCATION, HOWEVER, IT WILL WORK FOR THE LOCAL WEATHER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE RECIEVED ONLY ONE RESPONSE. THAT RESPONSE DIRECTED ME TO USE THE CHANGE LOCATION LINK, WHICH I ALREADY EXPLAINED DOES NOT WORK! THIS CAUSES ME TO GO TO BING AND GOOGLE FOR HOME PAGE. IF YOU…

I would suggest that since my profile location is Nampa, Id., that my local news on the "YAHOO News" page should be the same.
Local news on Yahoo News page will not keep my default the same as my Profile location. It is constantly changing to all points of the U.S.. When will YAHOO get thier **** together? Before or after all the people change thier home page to a different page?

Local news has started showing a different location every time, hanging without my asking or wanting it to. Stop that.

Fix the "Latest News Tab"
Currently the Latest News Tab on the right side of the Article page has a mish-mash of old and older news, nothing remotely current. Is this some sort of stupid April Fools joke or are you programmers just not up to the task. This issue has been ongoing for the last week.

Let me change my vote
There are times when I accidentally click the wrong vote option (thumbs up/down), there right next to each other so it happens. What i would like is the option to at least change my vote once so if this did occur.
