Allow replies to comments go directly to the comment. It used to do that but no more.

I cannot reply to someone who has replied to my initial comment.
I cannot reply to someone who has replied to my initial comment even though I receive an email with the reply and a blue button to reply specifically to that person. It takes me to the article but I cannot find my original comment or the reply by someone else. I used to do this.

I have been trying for over FOUR MONTHS to get help with YAHOO NEWS comments section.
I am apparently banned from Yahoo News comment section. I believe the remediation algorithm has mistakenly done this. All posts and replies I make are removed in seconds with a comment that it violates policy. How does 'Hello' violate policy? No one can reply on Yahoo HELP and all I get are cut and paste emails telling me to review policies. I have done that many times. I subscribed to paid support and wasted that money to be told that they cannot help me and to contact OpenWeb. I have done this and not gotten a single reply from them…

Despite clicking to remove Fox News from my news feed, I see it appearing regularly. Same problem with Washington Examiner. They are not new
Despite clicking to remove Fox News from my news feed, I see it appearing regularly. Same problem with Washington Examiner. They are not news. I will be using Yahoo's News portal less as a result.

Fix the Science section
When is Yahoo going to fix the Science section? Bring back the old format. The new format is horrible, and the stories aren't even about science - they are all political. Somebody really screwed up!

the news section UI is terrible. notifications on comments , but how to use link to see it?
notifications on comments , but how to use link to see it? 80% of the time does nothing . 2/10 times it will take me to new window to see comment reply. why only 20% of the time does it function? go to view past comment, where is it? you have most of my comments listed. if i navigate to new story i commented on ,there it is. but not listed in comment history.

Difficulty finding and responding to responses
I think it's a bug, but am not sure. I get notifications of responses to my comments in gmail. I click on the Reply to [so and so] button in the email and it takes me...somewhere, usually to the article, but never to where my comment is or where the response is. Am I doing something wrong or is the platfrom bogged down because of high usage.

Fix Yahoo News notification feature
When I click on a Yahoo News notification for my account, it doesn't take me to the comment so I can respond. It makes me scroll through lengthy threads in hopes I can locate the comment response. Very frustrating.

You need to fix your comment section. It does not work.
Clicking on the comment icon, nothing happens.

Fix the reply to feature
If somebody responds to my comment I get notified in Yahoo mail but when I click on reply I'm not taken to where I can reply. I'm taken to the beginning of the comment section.

Your coronovirus map is horribly out of date. It says it was updated this morning, but you're off by over 1,000 US cases and nine deaths.

Fix commenting problem
Whether through a link to a comment in my email, or by directly accessing a comment in the article comment feed, or by clicking the icon of the person replying to me, I can't reply to others, because the message won't stay up long enough to write a reply. It lasts about 3 seconds (3 letters worth) then reverts to the main comment feed for the article. FIX THIS PLEASE!
Especially if clicking an emailed notification link. It should go directly to the person commenting on my comment, not to the commtent feed, where I'm then forced to dig through…

News feeds don't update.
I've had CNN News and NBC news on My Yahoo homepage, but the headlines/stories listed haven't changed. The news isn't current. Please check on this.

Viewing comments on your comments...
Not an idea, but an apparent bug...
In the last couple of weeks, whenever I've received a notification that someone has replied to a comment, and I attempt to launch to that comment, Yahoo will MOMENTARILY display that exact thread (for ~ less than a second), then immediately jump to the very beginning of the thread.
I.e., it just "flashes" the thread of messages/replies associated with the notification, but ill not stay on that thread.
This happens in both Chrome and Firefox.
I'm using Chrome Version 108.0.5359.126 (Official Build) (64-bit)
and Firefox 108.0.2 (64-bit)178th ranked -

Yahoo please improve your moderation no matter how much we edit our comments to meet your standards you still place a hold on them and they sit for days. The moment is lost the conversation is lost. We are trying but you are making it very difficult. We dont know what words offend you outside of the obvious curse words. everyday words are getting flagged.

When I first see a news article I am interested in and click for the video an unrelated story's video opens. A LOT. Please fix this failure
Have the initial news video actually related to the headline that is clicked on.
