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

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. My yahoo account has been accessed 3 times in the past 2 months from a device that is not recognized. How is this so frequently possible?

    There seems to be a lack of privacy protection associated with yahoo. Member's beware...why notify me about an account accessed from an unrecognized device but still allow it to happen repeatedly? Nothing recommended from Yahoo seems to help.

    • EVERY video says "We are experiencing technical difficulties....." You're just embarrassing yourselves.

      Get a faster Internet connection. You're just making Yahoo look stupid. We have a 100Mb Comcast fiber connection here at work and I've got a 25Mb Comcast cable connection at home. The problem isn't on my end. This is yet another way Yahoo makes itself look bad.

      • Either fix the huge security holes or quit making it so people have ot use Flash to view stories!

        I have removed Flash from most of the computers in my house because of the security issues. Having Yahoo news require that people have flash to see the story is really aggravating!

        Combined with all the SPAM that I am getting in my Yahoo mailbox is getting me to the point of going elsewhere even though I have been with Yahoo for 15 years

          • "News" generally describes recent events, i.e., in the last day or so. Some of your news stories stay on site for days!

            Don't show the same story for more than one or two days! Surely, you can find new stories for each major categories. "Odd News", "Science" categories particularly seem to show the same stories day after day, especially on the mobile site.

                • tell the users when Yahoo, comments aren't working and are non existant when will they be back

                  Notify users when comments aren't working, and when they will be back up , news isn't the same without them.

                  • Yahoo listen! I cant delete comments on my profile as i once was able to do. Why? Let me/US have the option of Eliminating post i make!

                    GIVE OPTION .. The only way Yahoo is giving me is to basically delete my account! Hide Profile is just another way of not being on YAHOO!

                      • The side news bar is overlapping the story article and cutting off the words.

                        Shorten the side news bar so it doesn't cut off the words of the article.

                            I am tired of opening a story only to see the right side of the story cut off so you can have you ads there. I understand the need for advertising, but if you can't read the story I won't keep trying. I opened the same story in Firefox and didn't have the problem, which indicates an interface problem with IE.

                                • Don't watch yahoo news. An ad between each story, often the same one. Insane.

                                  You expect me to watch an ad between each news item. I may go to two and then get out..no time for that nonsense. Often it is the same ed Jones ad over and over. I ALWAYS turn off the audio then I go back to msn. Your news coverage suffers from the ads.

                                  • Clicking for full story takes me to just a photo, no story at all. If I close picture, still no story. Very poor web design.

                                    Fix bugs. Hire a new web service.

                                    • Hello

                                      How can I get your videos from stopping and breaking when playing, do you have a fix for this? All of the commercial ads play just fine, but when comes the news videos, actually all of the Yahoo videos feeds will not play, I have no problem with any other streaming videos feeds.
