Shenanigans at Yahoo dot com
Anyone else having problems with Yahoo! today?
I tried to sign into my email account, yet it seems that they've discontinued the practice of allowing you to use your account name and instead want you to include that little @yahoo.com portion every time. Annoying, but WTF-ever. Kicks you to an "Invalid ID or Password. Try again. Also, enter this random nonsense string."
So I ran into that again tonight, but this time it gave me an Error 999. It's basically a "Something screwed up, you've been hacked, or we don't like your ISP. Try again in a little while" error. Okay, so I try again. Same thing. Again. Same thing. For fifteen minutes (toggling back and forth from web comics, of course).
So they say "If the problem persists, maybe it's X, Y, or Z. If not, tell us." So I click on the link to report the problem. Takes me to a text box, and I explain myself. Then there's this random string crap again. Only the picture isn't there. I refresh. No go. I right-click and Show Picture. No juice. So I click "Listen to Audio Code" That...might have worked, except that I have no headphones and am in a public place. When my computer starts talking numbers in a kid's voice with random baby babble in the background, it's time to call it quits.
What. The. Fuck.
Switching to Google. Soon.
