Big YAHOO issue
« on: April 30, 2018, 11:37:51 AM »
I'm a moderator for several Yahoo groups related to Guzzi.  Smallblock, LoopFrame, Convert.  Suddenly I can't post or reply to anything.  I get several days of temporary mailer daemons when I try.  Google research shows lots of people including moderators and OWNERS with the same issue.

The forums are not dead.  Many people are still posting.  But I suspect many valid replies are going dead.  I have written some good advice and it all goes dead with daemons.

First, does anyone know what is up?

Second, anyone here who still seems to have posting capability please post to those groups to let them know that an issue is in the works.

No idea where to go to resolve this.

I had yahoomail issues a few days ago but it went away the next morning.. I did perform a "refresh firefox" at the time. so maybe clean out your cache and cookies?\

For whatever reason, Yahoo has *never* worked well for me, although Flickr has been fine. I just put it in the "some things aren't meant to be understood" drawer.

I have a Yahoo mail account, but have not noticed any problems...at least on Apple devices. However, I do have issues with it when I use Windows. Mostly just slow uploads...

Something seems to have resolved.  Several of my mailer daemon 'pending' posts have suddenly popped up on several forums. And, I can once again post and reply directly from my mail tool without having to log to the group.  Yahoo coughed up a hairball.  Hope it resolves for other as well.
