FIX YOUR COMMENT CENSOR ALGORITHM
Whatever bots you use to censor comments are broken. I've been trying to post a benign comment that doesn't attack anyone, doesn't use any profanity, and doesn't use any of the other stupid words you Yahoos have deigned to censor (because you're retards, one of the words you censor). Yet you will not post it, you keep deleting the comment. It is incredibly frustrating and one of the reasons why I'm about to drop Yahoo and never visit your sites again.

"Read more" links
90 % of your "Read more" links are broken and take you to an old yahoo page, about baby charlie. I really enjoy scrolling through the page and reading different articles, which that link messes up for me. Please fix ASAP!

You've done it again. You have merged my comment with one you INCORRECTLY closed because the "show less" option STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!
This is truly ridiculous. I am trying to communicate to you that a feature of your website does not work as intended and the only response you have is to merge my comments with an already closed thread. Don't close my comments. Don't merge this with an old, already closed thread. FIX THE SHOW LESS OPTION!!!
57th rankedHi,
Our Engineering team is looking into this. If you could let us know what about the “show less” option isn’t working we would appreciate it. Please provide specific publishers if possible.

Comments section
I don't seem to be getting alerts when someone has replied on my comments on a story. I also can click on show replies and nothing shows up just a comment box and I don't need to comment on my own comment. Yahoo used to be really good and great working. But so many problems exist now, I don't get this on any other homepage of any kind.

I can no longer comment. The comment button seems to be disabled. Am I being hushed up?
I can no longer comment. The comment button seems to be disabled. Am I being hushed up (censored)?

Dangerous JS code on main Yahoo page
On main Yahoo page you have JS code like:
window.onload = function() {
var astroBodyText = document.getElementById("astroBodyText");
...
while (astroBodyText.scrollHeight > astroBodyText.offsetHeight) {
}
}For some systems (depends on installed fonts) condition:
astroBodyText.scrollHeight > astroBodyText.offsetHeightalways true, that's why your main page is stucking :-(
Please fix this condition or add condition for exit from loop.153rd ranked -
I posted 2 videos of whites attacked for being white, so Yahoo removed my ability to post video links.
Yahoo is constantly posting videos of white people using racial slurs or calling the police needlessly. Yahoo brings us a new story about one or the other every week, but never a single story about a white person attacked for their skin color. I posted two videos that happened this past October: one of Chris Bilcik getting his eye sliced in a pizza parlor for being white and one of Andy Rosenmayer getting his head bashed in with a bowling ball for being white. Both had happened that month and yahoo never reported about either story. In an extra attempt…

Please check the notifications. They are not clearing for some reason. I know this has been listed before but is not fixed. Really bad.
Notifications on home page do not delete nor is the count changed. This has been listed before and responded too; however, it is not fixed. As the articles age they become so out of date.
232nd rankedHi,
Our Engineering team is looking into this and need additional information.
Is this menu notifications or the bell notification?
Are you clicking on the notification to open it?
What internet browser are you usingRegards,

Yahoo articles state "story continues" and when you click on it to read the rest, it does not take you there
STORY CONTINUES buttons do not work. You click on many of them and they take you nowhere !!
232nd rankedHi Kurt,
Can you please update your feedback with the link to the article that is giving you this problem. This will help our Engineers resolve this issue.

To Web Developer: Block Level (not Inline) Elements, Please clear floats...
Hi, On Larger Displays (mine is 17"), there is a problem with the elements in the right column of the page floating over elements in the column in the center of the page. So, please make the elements "block" level (instead of "inline") and please clear the floats. Thanks! That should fix it.

271st rankedHi Steve,

Stop requiring sign in every time
Every time I open my computer for the day, I'm required to sign in?? That should not be required on my computer. All other sites memorize my sign-in information.

Understand we changed the calendar about six month ago...
Are you pencil-neck Millennials drinking again on the job today? You posted "College Football Top 27" (it should be 25) FOR 2018! I'd love 10 minutes alone with any of you in my back yard with no firearms or tools. Just my bare hands.
