I haven’t been able to get to the page. Not a problem for me, but g/f is applying for a job and Yahoo is her only mail. ---

I can get to the page – today’s “Get Fuzzy” hasn’t arrived yet, but that doesn’t prove anything. ---

I’m having the same problem. Looks like they also rolled out a new home page, which may have something to do with it. ---

I can’t access it either. And there’s a message waiting! The suspense is killing me! It could be anything (but it’s probably a spoofed email from Paypal asking for my password :mad: ). ---

It seems to be up and down. I couldn’t access it fifteen minutes ago, but I was able to five minutes ago. Now it seems to be down again. ---

I can neither get to Yahoo mail, nor sign in to Yahoo messenger. I am currently mad as in angry in addittion to mad as in crazy. ---

I don’t know what all o’ y’all’s problem is. Not only can I get into my account without any trouble, I can get into all of your accounts as well. The test results came back, **Doc** , and they’re negative. **twickster** should be expecting that shipment of ass-hair cream by the end of the week. And based on the contact list, **Revtim** has some really strange friends. Other than that, nothing seems to be doing. Anything else anybody wants me to check? ---

Hey I just got it to my mail! And I was right, it was a spoofed email trying to get my Paypal password! I’m glad I got all worked up about not getting that sooner :rolleyes: . ---

Yahoo is working fine for me. I keep a hotmail address for situations where Yahoo is wonky. ---

> [@Dung Beetle](#): > > **twickster** ’s getting _my_ e-mail! It’s okay – I forwarded it. If you’d be so kind as to send along the rather, um, graphic one I’m expecting from JP, we can cease being embarrassed by each others’ correspondence.
