Answer 1

I am having the same problem. I have contacted Yahoo customer care and had to send over source codes and a copy of the page. That was a few days ago. As of this morning I still haven't heard back and the page still has not refreshed. There is a new Yahoo My Page Beta that they are asking you to change over to. I am wondering if this has something to do with it??? Anyone out there have any clues? I think the existing page is great and the layout is just fine. Any other comments?

Possible piece of this puzzle: The problem seems to be with  the listing of items from news services (AP, Reuters). If you click on the main titles, the actual news is up to date.

I have the same "6 days old" problem, but not with everything. Am using my old familiar My Yahoo page. I do not auto-update, but refresh the page manually. I have cleared cache, which has helped in the past, as documented in some older Answers. Now, clearing cache makes no difference.

Interestingly, Reuters items from Europe seem up to date, and Biotech news and Education News (for example) are also okay.

GERMAN Yahoo works fine! -- If, after I am logged in, I bring up a new window, and go to www.yahoo.de, and choose Mein Yahoo!, I get My Yahoo! with all the links refreshed properly.

So, this seems to be a glick with Yahoo's US service. Maybe I'll just use the German site for now.

I hope Yahoo! is monitoring these Answers and fixes the problem soon.

...well OK !! *** FEEDS ***

I've been frustrated at YaHoo's inability or reluctance to fix this. The solutions suggested just didn't work. 1st off, the "update rate" option is only available on your "My YaHoo" pg. if, or after, you have created a 2nd pg.

Secondly, that still didn't work ... I, like most, had no clue as to where to look in IE (also a YaHoo suggestion) but ... Here It Is :

R.click IE and click Properties

Click 'content tab'

Next to 'Feeds'(bottom) click 'Settings'

Chk. box to "Automatically Chk. for Updates"

Choose how often ... Whallah !!!!!!!!

This worked for me in XP ... I don't know why YaHoo assumes we are all 'geeks'(not bad if U are) and seem unwilling to provide answers per, and specific to ea. Operating System (OS) :)

Mine doesn't update either.      When I have contacted Yahoo about this in the past, I got such a run around, I gave up.    Eventually it resolved.

I do not like the new Beta, I wish they would just fix the current problem and let me have my old page!
