Hi, please let us know how we can improve News further.

Fix the "show comment" links already

On "My Comments", after some time (hours) goes by, and maybe I have looked at several stories or not... and I click to look at My Comments... the content is hopelessly hosed. For example, if My Comment was a reply to someone, the page gives a Show Comment link. These links ARE TOTALLY RANDOM with respect to what "original comment" they link to and even what story that relates to.

My suggestion? THIS IS A GROSSLY DEFECTIVE PILE OF TRASH AND YOU NEED TO FIRE THE DEVELOPERS WHO CODED IT AND FIND SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO CODE A WEB LINK CORRECTLY TO FIX IT.

Anything unclear about that?

        Yahoo, True or

        Hello Yahoo, True or False: Hello Yahoo comment users. Are you aware that 'Yahoo news' has an
        " IP address blocker" in their servers to weed out negative comments from those who have truthful and factual statements in rebuttal to the idiot stories or idiot comment makers on the story sites? If you comment negative to their stories (especially the liberal stories) your IP address will be negated in their system so that you can only read and not comment.

        This comment has NOTHING to do with my complaint and is further proof of Yahoo's webmaster's incompetence. MY comment was about not being able to make or reply to any news story, period. Yahoo gives instructions on logging in and this process does not work

        When I click "show comment" to check on a back-and-forth conversation I was having with one or two others, it goes back to a completely unrelated original comment. I have to return to the "all comments" and "my comments" and click back and forth until finally the original comment shows up properly. This is frustrating, because I save several stories over a couple of days at a time. Sometimes another person will post a reply as much as 24 hours later. It's nice to get the feedback. Please try to fix this. Thank you.

        come on yahoo fix this problem, my comments end up under a completely different post, no wonder your stock price never goes up

        agreed! on the 'my comments' button, sure takes me to a list, but they seldom match up to the orginal comment I responded to, my comment just sits there, totally out of sequence
