Bloody Yahoo...

[teylaminh]

Once again, I am having trouble logging into my Yahoo!Mail. I cleared my history and TIFs the other day and it worked for about three days but now is refusing to load again. All other Yahoo! pages are fine.

The 'Answers' section seems to imply this is definitely a Yahoo problem rather than anything to do with my browser / connection / PC, and also quite possible a conflict with IE7. Given it will load at work (who are still in the Dark Ages with IE5), I'm somewhat tempted to believe that... Also, this is a new PC (as in, only four months old) and it was working absolutely fine until only a few days ago.

Of course, it could also be Virgin being arses.

I'm going to download Firefox to see if it'll load through that - any other suggestions in the meantime?

(Annoying. I was going to start re-tagging my LJ, but it'll have to wait now.)

Edit, 1.13: There are multiple questions on the Yahoo Answers section about this, so I'm just going to assume that it's them being the suck. Good to know it's not just me, though bloody typical that my account is one of those affected.

I started re-tagging, going backwards. Got as far as June 2008. This is going to take weeks...

I just had a problem with Yahoo being reeeeallly slow. It was taking forever to load a message. It's annoying isn't it? Be interesting to see if it is browser related.

Don't know how your internet is set up, but - if it's Broadband via any kind of router, it could have to do with your MTU limit (changeable via your router settings). I know, when Hotmail and other random websites randomly stop loading for me, that's what fixes it. Most ISPs use 1500 for their MTU limit... but I had to set mine at 1400 to get things to work.

Of course, in terms of my internet, "work" is a relative term... but hope that helps a little.
