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".

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. Please allow me to sign in with Yahoo! and/or Facebook

    No matter which I choose, I wind up back at the comment window as if nothing happened. Facebook login switches me to Yahoo! login, Yahoo! login just makes the page flash - nothing happens. The comment window remains active as if I'm still posting and it won't change, no matter how I login.

    • The audio doesn't match the video. The commericials interrupt when watching the vidoes.

      When watching the videos, the audio doesn't match the video in play. Especially when switching from the small format to full screen. They never resync. I have all the current drivers and newest java, ect. The videos are not worth watching. What are you going to do about it.

      • Let me remove my comments.

        I have tried for months to remove my comments, but they always reappear. Why?

        • Restrict Yahoo! News to only "news"

          Please restrict Yahoo News to only "news" - not "infotainment", celebrity updates, etc. Those could be in another category, not news.

          Worst of all - are opinion pieces appearing in "news" section. How about a separate "opinions on the news" section instead?

          An example of what should not appear in "news":

          http://news.yahoo.com/mad-women-im-not-boyfriend-140940728.html

          I like Yahoo and have used it for years, but if you keep doing this I will have to find another online news source.

          Thanks for any help on this.

          • I should not have to be required to allow Yahoo to check my friends' Facebook posts in order to comment on a Yahoo article.

            I don't remember my Yahoo password or id, because I have a different email. I use FB when I want to comment on articles in Yahoo. Recently, Yahoo has demanded access to my FB wall in order for me to post comments. That is an invasion of my privacy and my FB friends. I have things to comment on, but it should not be a REQUIREMENT that I give you my wall. Today you posted a very irresponsible article linking Newton Shooter Adam Lanza's crime to his Sensory Integration Disorder (also known as Sensory Processing Disorder)- with only a few…

              • Local news has started showing a different location every time, hanging without my asking or wanting it to. Stop that.

                • Videos

                  Banners at bottom are distracting. Also when clicking on a video or news story on right side panel it disappears and another article or ad comes up. I never get to see the intended video or news article. Thank you for giving us a feed back page.

                  • O.C. Register links do not work - need subscription.

                    In your local news section (Irvine, CA), everyday you recommend/suggest articles to the O.C. Register.
                    In fact when you open the link to O.C. Register articles it never displays the article (without a paid subscription). It is a waste of time to suggest those articles in my view. Thanks! John.

                          • Deleting comments on news articles is not working.

                            I delete a comment posted to a news article, and it says comment removed. Next time I view that same comment it is still there. Why can't I delete comments anymore?

                            • Signing in to comment on a story.

                              Why do you idiots at Yahoo think I'd be interested in signing in through Face Book, or Twitter, or any other media to comment on a story when I'm already signed in through Yahoo? And why do you think I'd click on 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 pages of story when the story is written with one news screen per page and two screens of advertising?

                              Are you really THAT stupid? (Rhetorical question)

                              • The pics for the main news stories never match the actions. Is there technical support to fix this problem?

                                When I go to my Yahoo page the main story pics never match the titles and captions. For example, the pic shows Sarah Jessica Parker and is supposed to talk about her shoe snafu, but the caption with the pic goes with the next photo. This happens for each photo and I cannot figure out how to fix it!

                                          True news organ would provide all news not sorting news and cover one that fits their leanings.
