Hi, please let us know how we can improve News further.

comment section

Why do some yahoo articles allow me to comment and others have a click to comment at the bottom of the page that just takes you back up to the top and will not allow you to comment. Is this just one of a million of Yahoos failings of their news comment section? If Yahoo either can not fix or refuse to fix their comments why do they not just discontinue the comment option all together. Unless they are scared that is the only reason people read their articles.

        I can type in a comment but it doesn't show. Cannot delete past comments.

        I, too, am having the same issue. However, I cannot comment at all on any news articles. I am wondering if I have been banned for some unknown, unstated, and uninformed reason. Yahoo! Product Support please let me know. Thanks.

        My Browser is Fireox version 19
        My Operating System is Windows XP Service Pack 3

        The news article URL is:
        http://news.yahoo.com/subatomic-calculations-indicate-finite-lifespan-universe-225300183.html
        although all news articles will not allow me to comment.
