Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Why is this happening?
I have Yahoo! Mail (obviously) and I have the chat feature in a panel to the left. As I am logged on, it is showing me (lou_300) as an online contact for my chat. Why? This was not happening 2 hours ago.
Is this normal? I need to know to make sure I have not been hacked. I had a bit of an argument with an ex-friend today (who has not been in touch with me for over 18 months!) who is a bit handy with computers, so I am a bit worried.
All I need to know is: is it normal for your own ID to show up in Chat? Many thanks.
