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

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  • Hot ideas
  • Top ideas
  • New ideas
  1. need a "viewall" button instead of "more"

    comments generate multitudes of sub comments. so how can we scroll down the long line of subcomments quicker? clicking "more" to see a handful of comments is a waste of time.

    we need a "viewall" button instead of "more".

    or maybe sorting sub comments with the most recent ones at the top instead of bottom could help too.

      • my old comments are still not deleting, and I've asked 4 times now for Yahoo to delete them or at least allow the system to delete the old

        I keep trying to delete my old comments (about 79 of them) and they still show up the next time I access "my comments". I've asked Yahoo customer support 4 times to either fix the system to delete these old comments or have one of your people delete them. I prefer a clean slate and when I delete, I want the comments gone.

          • Why is Yahoo deleting one of my posts?

            This is my post and I want to know what EXACTLY is so wrong with it that I'm not allowed to post it:

            Below is a list of Democrat Party inspired 0bamanations: The 0bama Administration's Super-Expensive, Legally Dubious Medicaid Plan, armed drones in America's sky's, urban assault vehicles deployed on American streets, hollow tip ammo for Social Security and IRS employees, increased taxes on Americans making as little as $17,700.00 a year, pushing to give ILLEGAL Aliens the same rights as American citizens, and ILLEGALLY trying to disarm Americans while obstructing the Constitution.

                  • Wrong buttons making Post a New Idea search instead of posting.

                    When I select Post a New Idea, the buttons under the window are searching buttons instead of buttons for posting. I have to open a new tab and then mess around with the post window to get it to work (as I had to do to post this).

                      When I click to Remove a comment I previously posted, it doesn't really delete. It appears in My Comments the next day.

                      • The anti-Catholic bigotry of Yahoo News articles is sickening. No matter how stupid the story, if it's anti-catholic, it makes Yahoo News.

                        Fire all of the anti-Catholic bigots that work for Yahoo. It's pathetic that in the year 2013, Yahoo puts forward "News" stories that are more befitting of *** propaganda.

                        • Get your site for comics to go back a few days. At this point, only the immediate Comic du Jour can be seen.

                          Be able to put cursor on specific days, activate/click the mouse, and have the comic from a previous day load and be displayed.

                          • please stop advertising in the middle of a news story

                            I've never a site so committed to reducing the quality of the visitor's experience. In the middle of a news story, every 5 or so lines, you've decided to place text ads for other stories... This is annoying, distracting, and is yet another bad decision. Please just take a peek at other sites who have reduced their desire to stuff ads down our throats.

                              Thanks for your feedback. Could you please provide us with the article URLs which you are seeing the ads in the middle of the news story?

                                    • Too many banned words in comments to news articles. Can't post the word "******" or "moron" or even the word "crook" is now banned.

                                      This is getting ridiculous, omg, the word "crook" is now a banned word, unreal. Goodbye stupid idiots!
