This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Yahoo reset my password unknown to me, I know I did not change or break. While trying to follow the what is going on, I was asked a secret question from 4 years ago which I provided "where did I meet my wife" I provided every possible combination. When you contact support message indicates high call volumn, you wait and then after 2-5 minutes your dropped. What kind of service prevents you from accessing your account and not provide support. To me it appears this was intentional to not allow my password to work, having to keep guessing on one question, yahoo asking from more contact details so they can use in their databases and your information again. Time to switch tofaith in Yahoo leadership, support and reliability.

I have my business domain registere with Yahoo business. Without warning they raised the yearly rate from 9.95 to 34.95 and charged my bank account. When I complained they blew it off and said I was paying for the domain registration and 1 email account. What a bnch of crap they will not address the problem here. Has anyone else been through this...Bob

Yes, you have to read the fine print very closely. The $9.95 is just an introductory offer. My problem has been trying to put things onto my site: www.NotAboutSusanLeFevre.com, which is a nonprofit political parody site.

It is nearly impossible for me to post material using cut and paste. The other tools don't work and it may or may not accept my changes when I attempt to publish. All I'm putting up is text and graphics. It can take hours to make a simple change. It is easier if I don't use Internet Explorer - Firefox is better, but it is still difficult.

I have complained a few times and have never once received a reply from Yahoo. They simply don't care!

Yahoo used to be very good at the services it provided. Now it is so tied up in being connected to every little net connection that they have lost quality of services. And those services may or may not function all of of some of the time. The services look attractive and half of the functions are merely ornaments. Non functioning buttons. But what can one expect from a second rated web page.

I saw an ad for a ring worm cure online featured thru yahoo. Checked out their return policy, and sent them my credit card number thru pay-pal. I have e-mailed them several times and have never had a response. No product and no refund.
