Does anyone else here have a My Yahoo page?  If so, has it been totally screwed up this week?  Mine has had more than half of the news content sections completely missing, everything in my side columns totally gone, and some new, mysteriously added sections including one called "The Daily Kitten" that comes back even if I delete it.

Mine has been hunky dory.

It probably won't help but it gives you a feeling of doing something.Wink

Thanks.  I tried deleting the cookies and clearing the cache, but it didn't have any effect on it.  I guess I'll change my password and see what happens.  If it doesn't work I'll just try creating a new user profile and rebuilding my previously awesome page that was perfected through years of use.

Alright, I changed my password and re-signed in and it's even worse. angry I have several new sections at the bottom of my page.  F*** it.  I didn't care much for my old user name anyway.  Now to think up a new one.

Have you checked your own system? Maybe you have a virus that's messing with your browser? I too have a My Yahoo page and no problems at all.

Nothing else seems to be wrong with my system or browser - it's just My Yahoo.  Just to be sure, I ran a virus scan, spybot and adaware, but nothing unusual showed up.  I've started rebuilding my page (still with my old user ID, but new password) and things seem to be functioning better.  I'm no longer losing content or having random new content added to My Yahoo page each time I open it.  Putting it back together is still a pain in the ass.  It is truly amazing how much information I had crammed on one page.

I don't have a page-I'm just not that interesting.  Tongue
