Are Yahoo features broken?
I used to get users emailing me and notification of new contacts; now I get zero. Is this a known bug or something I can fix. I put my email address on my profile as a work around but I liked that email me button better. Any remedies?
Thank you in advance :)

Yes the emails have been down for a long time now and there are no notifications of Best answer. I don't know about instant messaging. Strangely the emails to say a contact has asked a question have come on - in my case at any rate- and I didn't used to get them at all. ( Only thing I can think is I accidentally tweaked something in the settings but I really don't remember doing anything). The appeals function for reported Qs and As also doesn't seem to work and they are filed in YAs trash can. Of course the notifications of reports and violations *do* still come through. It's all a bit of a disaster.
