Anyone Else Having Issues With Yahoo?

Your mail is probably hosted on one of Yahoo's new servers. Problems like this have sprung up relatively often since around December of last year. Somebody screwed up installing and updating the servers for some of the new Yahoo features, and it resulted in a DNS error for a bunch of people regionally, meaning region by region. For those unaware, DNS is what is responsible for turning URL addresses, (ie yahoo.com) into IP addresses. Chicago experienced it first, then there were a number of East Coast cities that experienced it. Because it's a DNS error, typing the IP in still should work, but using the URL name usually incurs the problem. I could describe the issue in more detail if you'd like, but it'd be pretty technical, and you'd have to have a strong idea of how DNS works. Bottom line, there's not much you can do to fix it, it's an issue with Yahoo that they'll eventually clear up. In the meantime, if you need access to your mail, you may want to consider fetching it with a POP3 client like Outlook (boo), or Thunderbird.
No problems here. Try to refresh while your mail page is open. Good luck!
Issue resolved itself weeks ago. The fault was Yahoo's.
Thanks for thinking of me though.
