Cannot Respond to those who Reply to My Comments.
In my Yahoo email, I receive notifications that indicate "likes" and "replies" to my comments which includes a "reply to ______" button. However, when I click on the reply button, my original comment will appear for about a second or two and then another unrelated comment will appear depending on whether the "sorting" setting is set to "Top, Newest or Oldest" and therefore to find my comment, I would have to scroll through numerous comments. These are the only three "sorting options" and this is a feature that should be very easy to fix so please look into this. Thank you.

Yahoo will delete your comment without telling you why it is offensive. They do mine daily. If they don't like your opinion, they'll just delete it all together. Nothing offensive about it. Yahoo just deletes opinions if they aren't in line with liberals, leftists, or democrats.

They ignore feedback completely.

I used to get notifications in my email about comments, too. I do have the option activated to get those notifications as well. When I click on the drop down box in the comment section, I can see that someone replied, but when I click on it, it shows briefly then I end up scrolling through, hoping it is near the top. Otherwise I can give it up. I use another website with comments and when I click on the comment, it takes me to exactly where I need to be.

I don't know why Yahoo can't or won't fix this problem but I am looking into changing my Email and search engine and website. It is unfortunate because I have been with Yahoo for many years.

Keep the conversation going! allow commenters to reply to those who comment on our posts.

Replying to a comment is completely useless if it's going to bounce around the site. I don't get it.

I just realized that the function works correctly when you use a private window in Edge or an Incognito window in Chrome as far as taking you to the correct post. Of course, you still can't reply because now you aren't singed in. But the bouncing effect seems to have something to do with being signed into Yahoo.

This is so frustrating. This function worked originally, and it was so nice to be able to respond to people and have an intelligent conversation. Now I cannot find posts to reply to because the sorting commands (of which there are only 3) takes over and bounces me away from my post or reply. This makes me not want to use these boards even though they are one of the best features Yahoo has going for it.

Fix the problem on NOT being able to go back to your own comments in the Yahoo comments section. Yahoo can get you there ... for about 5 seconds and then ... it takes you right back to the top comment. If you want people to interact with yahoo at least fix it to where we can get back to our comments without having to go in and manually search.

Also ease up on the ridiculous censoring of speech . We are adults and should be able to talk as negatively as we want to each other. We dont need you to parent us. Oh and 1 more thing its ridiculous that you guys censor our comments when we cut and paste from your very own articles

Why does it not take you to your comment when trying to respond to someone commenting on your comment. It is so annoying that you guys cant figure this out. You scroll and scroll and hope to remember whos comment you commented on , once in a blue moon the thread will be open but 99% of the time you havwe to keep clicking on replies to find it. FIX IT!

I agree, this used to work fine. Now it doesn't. Did Yahoo change the settings? If so, CHANGE THEM BACK!

Same problem here. The quality of the commenting software was much better years ago. It actually worked.

In the email notifications for reactions to existing comments, the links "reply to ..." send you to the comment but kick you out to the main body of comments after it logs you in automatically. Every time I have to dig for the comment to reply to. Most times that is near impossible. Correct the link to send us to the specific comment being replied to and keep it there.

I've posted about the same problem, and it has not been resolved. Now I can't even see the Comments sections under many of the news articles. It will show a button for Comments, but when I click on that no comments show at all. So the problem is getting worse. Or else, I guess it's possible I've been placed in a category where I am blocked from adding comments and just didn't receive any notice of that.

Same problem for me. It used to work with no problem. It would carry me directly to the comment I was replying to but for approx the past month this is not working. I guess Fake News Yahoo got tired of people responding with comments that did not go along with the official govt god message aka the brainwashing agenda the govt and yahoo are doing.
