Please improve the yahoo comments section.
Many times I post my remarks & it never shows up even though i'm not cursing or saying anything offensive to anyone. And I know that sometimes there is a delay (when lots pf ppl post at the same time) but even after waiting 5 min & checking, my comments still don't show up.

It seems that instead of a database, they have a mishmosh of a system that rarely works right.
Either that, or the censors unconstitutionally hate conservative thought.

My posts have never abusive or misleading, no cursing. So why am I being CENSORED ?

The comments dialog box is still rarely appearing. When it does appear, I often have to wait half an hour to see it.

I discovered something. I accidentally switched off my antivirus/antispam software protection for the Internet connection while trying to do something else. Suddenly your comments pages started working.
But then I got a warning from the antivirus/antispam software that the Internet protection was turned off. I switched it back on, and all of the troubles returned.
I am NOT going to access your pages with my computer protection disabled. Too many times I have gotten malware from your site that the software detected and trapped. And don't tell me to change antivirus/antispam software. The sysop controls that.
Either your site is sending people malware that is blocked by the antivirus/antispam software and prevents us from completing posts on Yahoo News, or your software is somehow objecting to your content being scanned for such malware.
I turned down the priority of the incoming content scan, and posts are sometimes working. But I do not like leaving my computer vulnerable because your software does not like its content being scanned or will not wait for the scan to finish.

I have not been able to post on Yahoo News for 3 days. Posting on this feedback forum works fine. So the problem is with Yahoo News.
The posting dialog box never appears.
If this suddenly fixes itself after December 12, I will know it is a blatant attempt by Yahoo and its Huffypost cohort to bias the Alabama election.

A clue: On desktop computers, the colored round circles at the left side of the news story page do not display as links to websites. They display as included objects with no clickable function.

Fix your website. When I open a news story, I expect a comments box to be there (since you provide it). When it is not there, my first amendment right to free speech is abridged.
Most of the time the comments dialog box never appears. Please fix this. It's appearance should never be dependent on how much free memory is left after the ads load. The ads should be sacrificed for the comments box.
The floating link to the comments box is useless if the box itself never loads. When the box is not there, the floating link takes you to the top of the page.
Fix it.

When I click on the comment icon for a story in the Yahoo News page, it seems like a reasonable assumption that I would actually get a comments dialog box.
This is not the case. In most of the times I try this, the comments dialog box never appears.

They don't seem to care whether your comments show up or not. My problem is that the comments dialog box rarely shows up. Their STUPID ADS are "more important" and use up all of the computer memory.
