    • Your Tweet button isn't posting the correct articles. You might want to fix that.

      Seems like from all the complaints I've read on this comment line that Yahoo has some serious issues that need to be dealt with. Does anyone working for Yahoo actually do their jobs?

      • A little confused about the thumbs up counting

        I've noticed that if one subscribes to Yahoo Updates that the thumbs up tally is not consistent with either 1) the number of thumbs up when you click the article within Yahoo updates or; 2) the number of thumbs up when you click the article under My Comments outside of Yahoo updates.

        For example, you could receive a Yahoo update indicating that you received 4 thumbs up for a comment. However, when you click that comment within Yahoo updates, it may show 3. And then if you click the same comment, under My Comments, it may show 2.

        This would…

          • I don't want to see any more pictures of naked women in the advertisements.

            On March 19 I was annoyed to see an ad on your news page that showed a topless woman. Surely there is someone who can screen these ads before they make it onto your site.

              Please let me know if you are not going to allow me to post my comments? And why my comments are not reaching beyond the Texas borders? And is this your idea of "Freedom of Speech"?

                  • No Sound w/ Videos

                    My flash is definitely up-to-date and on every other site my sound works w/ the video. On ANY & ALL Yahoo sites, such as OMG, Shine, News, etc. I do not get any sound AT ALL when I play the video. Since the problem is not my sound card or version of Flash, then what is the problem? I use Google Chrome and have NO trouble w/ sound on any non-Yahoo sites.

                      Hi, I can't watch and listen to a news video clip when the involuntary ads turn on with annoying sounds. Can you stop the ads from turn on? Ads should turn on whenever user clicked on them, not on by itself...please help

                      • Yahoo News Politics tab

                        Fix the Politics page on Yahoo News. It doesn't look like it scrolls correctly with the photos. I see text over photos with a blank space

                        • When clicking on a news story from the main page using explorer 9 and windows 7 I can't get back to the main Yahoo home page?

                          This is a bug with your site. You should always be able to go back to the original page. Another bug is when you look at images, you have to click back through all the images to get back to the page where you clicked the link

                          • I found it very unnecessary to post a photo of a deceased bear laying in a heap in the bed of a truck today.

                            Completely unnecessary. It shouldn't matter if the bear had attacked someone, a photo of a dead animal is not necessary, especially in a slideshow of news articles that cause it to show up automatically. No one needs to be exposed to that. Could you please make some changes?

                                • Stop with the annoying ads.

                                  Play the video I click on without the ad. Have it off to the side without sound. Literally makes me hate yahoo. You're not the best search engine. I like the "news" but there are other options. Stop annoying everyone who uses yahoo or you will be yesterdays news.
