Has Yahoo Mail been wonky for anyone else lately?

Feb 4, 2013 3:47 PM

It seems to be a Java or Flash problem (whichever one YM is based on), in my opinion. The buttons aren't exactly responsive, requiring two or three clicks to open an email/ folder. Emptying my Spam folder, for instance, takes three clicks to register and then will try to empty twice.

Both Java and Flash are up to date on my system, so I'd figure it's probably something on Yahoo's end. Is anyone else having issues?

Yes, same problems here. Starting happening some time last week, I think.

No Flash or Java... just pure HTML and Javascript. It may simply be a rendering problem with the Javascript engine your browser is using, or of course bad code. Make sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser.

I would personally stay away from Yahoo as they don't use HTTPS (secure connections) they simply send your stuff over unsecured connections.

@jyoz22: Eh. It's an old email address that pretty much every website I use is connected with. It's too much of a hassle to switch. Anything that actually contains private info or personal contacts (ie people, not mailing lists) goes to a different account. I never did notice that about Yahoo mail, though.

@thedogma: I know what you mean I have one of those old email accounts too... I don't ever use it for personal stuff though.

Mine seems to work fine but the buttons are the last to load on the page.

Seems like it's fixed now. It changed to a blue interface (was pink or purple before) and is running faster than it was before the glitch. Perhaps it was a server update?

Yeah, me too. I've had the same problem on two different computers. I find that the buttons do respond with one click, but it takes a while to get a response.

I 100% sure they finally fix the problem as of last night late I noticed.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
