    • 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…

      • I should not have to be required to allow Yahoo to check my friends' Facebook posts in order to comment on a Yahoo article.

        I don't remember my Yahoo password or id, because I have a different email. I use FB when I want to comment on articles in Yahoo. Recently, Yahoo has demanded access to my FB wall in order for me to post comments. That is an invasion of my privacy and my FB friends. I have things to comment on, but it should not be a REQUIREMENT that I give you my wall. Today you posted a very irresponsible article linking Newton Shooter Adam Lanza's crime to his Sensory Integration Disorder (also known as Sensory Processing Disorder)- with only a few…

            • O.C. Register links do not work - need subscription.

              In your local news section (Irvine, CA), everyday you recommend/suggest articles to the O.C. Register.
              In fact when you open the link to O.C. Register articles it never displays the article (without a paid subscription). It is a waste of time to suggest those articles in my view. Thanks! John.

              • Random id's, posts ignored

                This week, you yahoos, when I try to post a comment, make me log on every time, then ignore my logon and discard my post; or give me random if from some other user unknown to me.

                I can tell all of your competent developers have been fired or quit. There is a fix for that: STOP LETTING YOUR INCOMPETENT DEVELOPERS RELEASE UNTESTED **** SOFTWARE; HIRE PEOPLE WHO SOME IDEA HOW TO WRITE AND TEST COMMERCIAL GRADE SOFTWARE; FIRE THE JO'S WHO ALLOW THIS **** TO HAPPEN.

                      • 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.

                          • How about you show the "notifications" bell on every page. Or better yet, go back to your old layout. This one is confusing and inefficient.

                            How about you show the "notifications" bell on every page. Or better yet, go back to your old layout. This one is confusing and inefficient, but I guess you have become desperate enough to do anything to get your few loyal users to stick on a page longer and longer. Good way to lose us.

                              My local news releases worked so well for so long, in the last several weeks it refused to work at all. I get random locations. Not useful. What happened? Also, it won't acknowledge where I live. Bummer.

                                  • I can't comment on news anymore. All I can do is verify my password, over and over.

                                    It's sad and makes me feel censored :(

                                    Which is strange because many of the other posters seem to be nonsensical racist haters, is this really truly a technical issue?

                                    Will it ever be resolved?

                                      • HEY, what happened to the comments section? There are no comments for ANY story. If this persists, I will simply stop using Yahoo.

                                        • We can't comment on any news story. There is not a way to comment on any news story, period, zero, none!!

                                          When will we be able to post on news stories? It has been over a month now. What is going on? It is not possible to post on any news story. Marty
