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.

    • Couple of issues

      1. The main news section doesn't allow "Open in a new Tab" option... DOH!
      2. Sub Pages fill my back button viewing history with millions of ads. Give me my back button... uh... back

        • Your new new s format is HORRIBLE! Goodbye Yahoo news!

          Go back to your old format which was much more user friendly and easier to browse.

          • Caption videos or put an article with videos for those of us who are deaf.

            Either caption videos if there is not going to be an article to accompany the video or make sure there is at least a short article describing what is in the video. I am deaf and it is maddening to read a headline, click on it , only to discover there is no article and the video is not captioned. If other news sources can either caption or put articles with videos then Yahoo should be able to do so as well.

                Hi Yahoo! News reader,

                Thank you so much for your feedback. Please provide us more detail so that we can investigate to solve your issue. The information we need from you is:

                - Browser version?
                - Any error info after you sending comment?
                - The actual content of comment you were trying to post is?

                Yahoo! Product Support

              • START CAPTIONING YOUR VIDEOS.

                Without captions, your videos are akin to having no sound at all for the hearing people. Do the right thing and start captioning your videos, so we deaf can "hear" along with you hearies. Thank you.

                  • Lauren Sher Please get your information correct, because I happen to know a couple in Burbank California that has been married over 81 years

                    please email me so you can correct your error and give the correct couple their due. It is an injustice that I read story after story about the longest married couple and every story I read is wrong.

                    • Typo in Google search.

                      If you Google "News Yahoo" the section linking to news.yahoo.com/us/ is spelled "u.S." instead of "U.S."

                      • Still can't access older comments, this is unreal, who does yahoo hire to fix this?

                        It amazes me that a site like yahoo doesn't even have the nohow to fix their comment section, it's been almost two weeks now!

                        • If you give people the option to sign in with sites other than Yahoo, you might try having the integrity to allow people the use of them.

                          I use Yahoo as my face page only because I like the features. I would not dream of using Yahoo for ANYTHING else!!!!!!! Lousy e-mail system, lousy search engine. But if I wish to comment on a Yahoo news article, you ostensibly offer signing in with Yahoo or FB or something else, but you don't allow it to happen. WTF is wrong with you people. YOU ARE DISHONEST, LIARS OF THE FIRST WATER!

                              Hi Yahoo! News reader,

                              Thanks for your feedback. Please provide us more info so that we can look into the issue.

                              - Browser/ Browser version.
                              - Operating Systems.
                              - Yahoo! IDs

                              Best Regards,

                            • Please find someone to edit news material prior to posting.

                              I understand that Yahoo! wants to be the first to post breaking news; however, it should not be at the cost of looking unprofessional. It can be difficult to read a serious article when there are typos and other grammatical errors throughout it.

                              Thank you.

                                      Hi Yahoo! News reader,

                                      I am not able to replicate this issue. Please provide us more details so that we can investigate to solve your issue.

                                      - The URL of the video that is unavailable
                                      - Browser version
                                      - Your location

                                      Thanks for your help,
                                      Yahoo! Product Support

                                    • Despite being signed in, I can't post comments on some articles, but can on others.

                                      I'm using Safari. I'm completely logged in. But on some articles, it won't let me post or give thumbs up/down. On other articles, it does. When it won't, logging in again from the "post as" box has no effect whatsoever. This has been happening for months (or longer).

                                        Hi Yahoo! News reader,

                                        Thank you for your feedback. Could you please provide us with the article URL so that we can look into the issue?

                                        Thanks,
                                        Yahoo! Product Support

                                      • My yahoo account has been accessed 3 times in the past 2 months from a device that is not recognized. How is this so frequently possible?

                                        There seems to be a lack of privacy protection associated with yahoo. Member's beware...why notify me about an account accessed from an unrecognized device but still allow it to happen repeatedly? Nothing recommended from Yahoo seems to help.

                                        • EVERY video says "We are experiencing technical difficulties....." You're just embarrassing yourselves.

                                          Get a faster Internet connection. You're just making Yahoo look stupid. We have a 100Mb Comcast fiber connection here at work and I've got a 25Mb Comcast cable connection at home. The problem isn't on my end. This is yet another way Yahoo makes itself look bad.
