Why is Yahoo mail failing so often nowadays, why does Yahoo not explain what is happening?

the system has been down for several hours now and everybody is in the same boat

Could be that Yahoo is under the umbrella of BT. Not that I'm saying BT has a poor record in customer service or anything. But if you try http://help.btinternet.com/yahoo/help/servicestatu...

Which is BT's broadband status page, you currently get a long wait for nothing.

Because yahoo uk is broken and has been for 2 days they can't do anything more than they are desperately trying to do now e-mail is on and off as with the whole system-good luck.x

Would you have time to tell a million people what's going on while trying to fix the server so they can have their service back? Just hang in there.

Mine has gone mad since the new front page appeared

I have no idea. I can't get into mine either. It's very annoying.

I haven't had any problems with my email. Not one.

server is down
