Yahoo needs to dump it's email system too. It sucks and never works half the time.

Seconded. The company I work for uses Yahoo business mail. I've been trying to get them to change it forever.

Also, welcome aboard!

I told yahoo all i get is a blank white page...and I even sent them a screen shot of it. Shows I have mail until I click on the mailbox..then I see the tabs in the background but it looks like someone laid a white sheet of paper over the top. Can't read anything. Know what they said? Open it with another browser. Um. Duh. I did. It is not my browser. It is their sucky system. I no longer use yahoo now for email. I switched back to AOL.

Yahoo is becoming more and more annoying. What are better home pages?

 

[Gracie]

I use google chrome for my home page. From there, I check yahoo news, aol news, here, other boards, etc.

Set this as your home page to see a new random wikipedia article every time you go on the internet. You'll learn a lot of interesting things.

I like yahoo news page. I joined 2 user groups in yahoo, years ago but, hardly ever go there anymore because its been replaced by a forum or I got the info I wanted already

I like their news page as well, but the mail system barely works, and the message boards are not moderated and infested with trolls who, in some cases, seem to have hundreds of yahoo accounts. So if they get banned for trolling, they just open or switch to another account.

Oddly, you can't embed pics or videos either. Very old-school.

i liked the old yahoo boards from like 5 years ago a lot better

do you have a link for that notice? It does make sense but I didn't see any news release. I did see how some people were pissed at a recent upgrade and there were probs w/ bots?

 

[Grandma]

The bots use @yahoo.com, so Yahoo doesn't block them. I get - well got tons of spam emails from the bots. I finally blocked all incoming @yahoo.com mail.

My inbox works fine, I never had a blank page.

Yahoo has message boards?

 

[April]

I never found the Yahoo message boards all that good I liked AOL message board and they got rid of there's.

I posted at aol for nearly 5 yrs. I really liked their format, and the fact that we could make our sigs just how we wanted....I searched for other boards where friends and foes said they were going to be...didn't care for any of the boards they ended up at....I was referred here by a very good friend....so far, I like this place.

 

[Gracie]

I like it here better now, too. It's still busy but not so busy where I can't keep up. And it doesn't seem so...well, mean as it was.

 

[April]

Well, with yahoo shutting their doors, maybe usmb will get an influx of users...
