Allow replies to comments go directly to the comment. It used to do that but no more.
I can't seem to reply to comments that somebody posts on my comment

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…

fix that i'm being blocked automatically at logon.
when i logon i'm always blocked and can't find out why. i ask the open web folks for help to clear it but it may take an hour. i'd like this fixed. i never get any feedback so i can't make corrections or adjustments. it's happening in the yahoo news section and the yahoo main section as well. see if there's something that can be done to fix this. it's very frustrating.

The news articles that you've selected are clearly from biased sources. I'll check occasionally to see if you've corrected this.

Honor the browser settings - autoplay
I have Firefox set to NOT "autoplay audio and video", yet Yahoo News seems to ignore my browser settings.
I DO NOT WANT VIDEOS SUCKING UP MY DATA ALLOTMENT!
Why can't Yahoo honor my browser settings? If I want news videos, I will turn on my 65" TV. Why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen? I even have dual 24" monitors OVER dual 27" monitors on my PC... Again, why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen?
Guess my only option is to boycott Yahoo News on my phone.555th ranked -

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.
