  1. Consistant format between News Home and Yahoo Tech & Politics comment sections.

    Comments on Yahoo Tech and Yahoo Politics are not posted chronologically. A comment 1 minute old is directly above a 2 day old
    comment. No availability of a "My Comments" button. No choice of
    "Most Recent" "Popular Now" "Most Replied" etc. Just the one way
    of looking at them at that is as they appear to be thrown against the wall.

  2. Get rid of those constant motion ads that distract from reading articles, or allow to stop.

    Ads like that old lady with her hands and arms always moving make it hard to concentrate on what your reading! The only time I pay attention to those type ads is to note the company in order to ad to my list of companies to Never Buy From!

  7. Remove ALL ads, especially, ones about surveys!

    Ads pop up when I am trying to log on to my email. They are annoying, because I must then begin the log in process again. I equate them to robo calls from politicians, at dinner time!

  9. I would like to get a Yahoo account, however because I don't have a cell phone, I cannot complete the registration process, is there a way?

    It seems Yahoo does not allow one to register without a mobile phone number, and when I give my land line, it does not recognize it a a valid number which is confounding to me. Can anyone assist me?

    Hi Joseph,

    Yahoo, and many other vendors now require existing users to add a mobile phone, as well as new registrants to help protect your account. Adding a mobile number to your account is an important account security step (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN14992.html?impressions=true)

    - Greatly reduces the risk of an abuser accessing your account.
    - If you need to recover your password, this is the safest and most effective method to recover it.
    - Yahoo will alert you through your mobile device when we suspect unusual login activity on your Yahoo account.

    Yahoo does not rent, sell, or share your personal information with other people or non affiliated companies, except to offer products or services you’ve requested. See our Privacy Policy for more detailed info on how we keep your information private.

  10. Require readers that use the "thumbs-down" button to post the reason (a brief statement) for their choice.

    To say that a reader disagrees with someones opinion or statement does not seem sufficient to support an action that contributes to the possibility of a post being hidden, nor does it give the author or other readers an adequate understanding of the negative action. For instance, is a person disagreeing simply because they are a member of an opposing party or because they have something relevant to add to the conversation?

  14. Report Button

    Articles are being posted with questionable reputability and intent.

    Here is an example of one such article, which is advertising 3rd-party software for home router configuration:

    https://www.yahoo.com/tech/s/now-secure-home-wi-fi-network-just-one-190600114.html

    The article is so offensive, that it has received nothing but negative feedback in the comments section. One such statement, is that the article itself is "Dishonest and unethical."

    This led me to realize that Yahoo! articles do not have a REPORT function. This is crucial for user feedback, and expresses a level of unprofessionalism on Yahoo! News's part. There should be no excuse not to provide users with a way to contribute…

    Hi there,

    We do appreciate all the feedback we receive, and we do listen to the feedback from our users on this Suggestion Board. Our Product Group checks each post on a regular basis.

    With regards to the auto-play feature, you can turn this feature off. You’ll want to click on the menu icon when hovering your mouse over the video. Then use your mouse scroll wheel to see the bottom of the feature list, and click Preferences under Settings. Turn Autoplay Off, and click on the X in the top-right corner to close out of the options menu.

  20. no ads.

    I ignore ads and if if ad is really persistent or annoying I will never buy that product
