The comments feature!
Hi! For years, Yahoo has always been my main source of news and my go-to website every morning to find out what's happening in the world. Up until a few months ago, the message boards were very active and we would receive an email notification when someone liked or commented on our posting, or when someone responded to our reply on theirs. It was fun, interactive, and I liked chatting with people from all over the U.S. So my question is, why on earth did you take that feature away? Why do we no longer get notified?!!! It now seems pointless to comment on people's posts because I'll never know if they responded. Similarly, when I post something, it seems pointless because there's absolutely no way I can track which articles I post comments on. Before, I would read a cool article on here, post my comment, and then I would get an email notification of the replies! I would then click on the link in my email and it would lead me to the response and I could reply, and we'd have great conversations! Again, why on earth did you take that feature away?!!!!!
I find that I'm not coming on to Yahoo as much, and I am not bothering to respond to people's postings because they'll never see it and I rarely comment myself because I'll never know if someone responded because I have no way of knowing or tracking it! Also, I believe that Yahoo gets revenue from ads, yes? And companies are more likely to advertise if you have millions of unique visitors every month/week/day? So, by taking away the comments email alert feature, you have far fewer users and far fewer people coming on here!!!! That means that you have fewer advertisers willing to pay, yes? Why would you not want to maximize your number of unique visitors every day? Before, I was coming on Yahoo multiple times a day and responding to LOTS of postings. Now, the message boards are not fun. :'(
Can you PLEASE bring back the feature that allows us to be notified by email if someone responded to our posting? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! The comments were so much fun before - you have way fewer users now. Bring it back, please!!! Let us have our fun!!!! Thank you for listening. :)
