Most yahoo news feeds broken on CERTAIN computers?

Question

Here's an oddball. On my yahoo, all of my home computers are not showing new news except for a two. Same on every system (two PCs, one laptop). From one of those systems, if I log into my office network via vpn and open a browser, the news feeds show up! If I'm at the office, however, everything works fine. This started a few days ago. I've deleted cookies, added and deleted content, etc. Same consistent behavior. The only other symptom was that news feeds were showing very old content for about a week, then most stopped showing anything. Frustrating.

Answer 1

Chiming in with the same issue.  However, I am not getting ANY content for any of the news categories, regardless of the computer I log in from.  This has been happening intermittently for about a month or even more but has been down for me all this week.  Usually I can correct it with deleting internet cache and cookies and sometimes rebooting.  That in itself is frustrating, even more frustrating is going a week without any 'my news' feeds.

Answer 2

I had similar problems for about a month, as did many others. It had nothing to do with cookies or a full cache or any of the other fixes suggested in Yahoo! FAQs. It was/is a Yahoo! bug of some sort.

After numerous fruitless email exchanges with Yahoo! customer service, I determined that the only way to temporarily address it was to periodically switch back and forth between the new beta version of MyYahoo! (http://cm.my.yahoo.com/upgrade)............ and the original version. When one started to fail to refresh, I switched to the other for a short-term cure.

At some point (knock on wood) the bug got fixed. Hope this works for you.

Answer 3

Unfortunatley I don't have an answer. Rather, I am experiencing the same problem. However, in my case, I have noticed that the problem occurs only with Reuters news catagories. I have also noticed that it works fine on some computers and not on others and it started about a week ago.

Answer 4

I asked a similar question. Now everything is working except for Reuter: Top Stories. I still don't know why they disappeared for 1 week as Yahoo has no live help that I can find. This is very frustrating.

Answer 5

seems yahoo is having a serious health problem where everyone is sick now and all their services are falling apart and there is no one there to do anything about it ... that is what it looks like from my end ... very frustrating and  they don't even seem to have a way for us to report problems to them directly ... ??

Answer 6

I have been experiencing the same thing for the last several days.  Absolutely none of my feeds are working except for the headline pic, sports scores, & such.  Would be nice if Yahoo! could report such system glitches and what's being done to fix it to it's users if that is indeed what's causing this problem.
