                  • I am using Internet Explorer 8 with Windows 7. Recently, I have noticed I can not comment or thumbs up or down anything on your site.

                    I am having problems posting a comment on Yahoo. I am using IE8 with Windows 7. I can not thumbs up or down any comment either. I turned off compatibility mode and the problem persists. What do you suggest at this point?

                      Hi Yahoo! News reader,

                      I am not able to replicate this issue. Can you please provide more details info so that we can look into the issue.

                      1) What exact problem you are having (example: Comments section cannot loading?)

                      2) The news URL.

                      Thanks for your help.

                      I endeavored to send you a standard suggestion,however it will not work. My suggestion pertains to updating your news site. Your articles run for days. I have now switched over to Google News to get the hourly updates. I respectfully suggest that you keep your readers up to date in news events throughout the day. "things" are happening worldwide and it might be good to read about it on Yahoo News and not Google who snoops you on the net.

                                        • Be more intelligent and judicial in your asinine censorship on the comments page.

                                          Your asinine censorship rules blocked the word BEAVER in a comment I posted where I referred to the old television show "Leave it to Beaver" How utterly stupid.
