Drop down menu "News Finance Sports More" falsely triggers on hover
Windows desktop Chrome, the drop down menu "News Finance Sports More" in upper right, falsely triggers on hover a dozen times an hour when i close one news story in my browser tab bar then pass over this spot. The passing over triggers a full page menu of yahoo "More" options that is a nuisance to escape. Delay on hover to two seconds, make it click required, or move it left and away from a mouse center screen to upper right browser bar and back to center screen motion.

Annoying Video Popup
While scrolling down a news article, new in the past month you popup a video on the lower right. The video never plays right, freezes or refuses to play at all. The video player covers the text of the article I came to read, making it unreadable. If I close the video to read it, the video pops up again the moment I scroll down. I did not come to Yahoo News to watch videos, but I will leave as a result of them.

Can no longer reply to replies
Can no longer reply to someone's else reply; it has an option to sign in even though I am. Any attempt to sign in simply reloads the page. This just started happening today.

Yahoo News Articles Comments not loading.
NONE of the comments on Yahoo News Articles are loading! You can see the comment bubble, but when you click on it, it scrolls down to where the comments are supposed to be, you get a brief flash of background color and shapes showing article comments, and then it vanishes and there's just a field of white. Please fix this ASAP! Thank you!

video popup lower right corner
The news video popup in the lower right corner does not stay closed. It reopens with each new scroll down. No means no! Closed means stay closed. Reopening is harassment. This is important because on a zoomed browser screen, to 125%, your video blocks the text content overlaying it. Desktop, windows, brave browser.

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 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.

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.

Ad can’t be closed makes story unreadable
The last 5 days, every single story I open is immediately covered by a massive Amazon ad that you cannot close and makes the stories completely unreadable. I’m having to go to other news sites to read news and you’ve been my favorite platform for years. Please fix it so I can keep reading.

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…

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)183rd ranked -
