      Please Stop all Pop-Up Banners

      • Why do not Yahoo read their responses?

        How about Yahoo actually READING these suggestions, like getting responses to articles to work and not just occaisionally on IE or possibly Firfox

        • In appropriate link to ****** feeding needs removing from article title

          The article about bed sharing (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/video/risk-cot-death-breastfed-babies-050006470.html) specifically says, in the headline, that ****** feeding and bed sharing are linked to cot death. Nowhere in the video article is ****** feeding mentioned. The mention of ****** feeding therefore needs removing from the article before women are scared off fo ****** feeding.

          • Pathetic bias news coverage of the UK, why no mention of Scotland? or SNP.

            Yahoo constantly ignore Scotland in their so called UK news coverage. No mention at all of Scottish events, no mention of SNP but they list all the others. We the Scots are about to make an important historical change in our Nation and Yahoo feels this is irrelevant do they?
            Just Like Google and MSN too by the looks of things they don't mention it either. Sick and tired of the same old bias ******** plastered all over the internet when it comes to the UK. The UK is not England so wake up and report the facts further than…

                  • Video popup changes page.

                    Often I cannot finish typing my text because some wretched video popup changes the page and my text disappears; absolutely frustrating and once this happens I just abandon what I had to say.

                    • Why can't l post???

                      Yahoo, why can't l post today on some threads. Tried a few times now, and it's not working.
                      Also l can't get Yahoo search to work...l think it's on a GO SLOW!
                      If you're having problems at the moment, at least tell us on the home page, so we're not trying to post and wasting our time...

                      Can someone from Yahoo let me know what's happening please?

                      • Stop using pics of a 16wk old rottie when talking about 'dangerous dogs'!

                        Why is it every article about 'dangerous dogs' uses the same picture of a rottie pup as the thumbnail? Why not use a more relevant image? An aggressive Labrador can inflict just as much damage as any other dog! Using a rottie picture when there isn't even a mention of the breed in the article is just scare mongering, plain and simple. Is Yahoo really that low?

                        • have the option to remove the news

                          Have an option to completely remove the news. You sign in , check your emails and then go to a blank page like Outlook does. Thus getting rid of upsetting new stories and having NO say in what content gets flashed up

                            It really is irritating, when going onto different threads you have to put up with the pages scrolling up and down. Please can you fix this A.S.A.P, as it's becoming a problem Thank you.

                              Hi,

                              Our Engineering team is currently looking into this issue. I appreciate your patience as we work on resolving this issue, and apologize once again for any inconvenience.

                              Thank you again,
                              Yahoo! Product Support

                            • Posting/Replying Problems

                              I'm having a lot of problems on yahoo this week, and in particular today. Most of the threads don't appear to be working properly. With NO "My Comments" an/or NO reply underneath posts. And some threads you can't even get on, or post as they jump to the top of page when trying to post or answer!!

                              Can someone from Yahoo sort this problem, as it's been going on all week now.
                              It would also be good if you could tell us on the homepage that there are difficulties at present. And when it will be fixed.

                                • I find it amazing that news about Desmond Tutu is under the entertainment section. I think that is kind of disrespectful.

                                  For his achievements for South Africa, Tutu should not be in the same league with N Dubes.

                                  • Stop putting these annoying adverts at the bottom of the page. you delete them go on another page and the same ones back

                                    Advertisements should be at the side of pages and out of the way, not popping up all the time at the bottom of the screen

                                        Please fix the 'floating' info bars at the top and bottom of whatever page is being viewed. While scrolling through any news item while using my ipad or iPhone, the info moves with the text. It would be much better if it was fixed or 'stuck' to the page rather than floating

                                          I am very deaf and am unable to hear videos. My main source for news is the net, fav is yahoo but why on earth dont you put captions on all your videos? even youtube does that and you can turn them on and off. This would be so helpful for people like me who are completely unable to hear the videos
