The same stories have been on my homepage for a week? They don't change?

Question

It's the same stories everyday? "World stocks routed on fears for economy." That same story has been there for a week? The lottery #'s are from April 9th? Dear Abby is the same story, my horoscope is the same? Why doesn't it update? The top of the page has Mon, Jan 28th but the stories are all the same ones? Is this happening with everybody?

Answer 1

Yah, even refresh doesn't work, even if you delete your cache first.  However, if you "upgrade" to the new MyYahoo, you'll get new content there, just not on the old one.  Even after updating and then switching back.  As suspected, this seems to be Yahoo's not-so-subtle way of making people "upgrade" to the slower, more ad-laden MyYahoo.

My solution, I guess, will be to switch to another personalized provider if this continues.

Answer 2

...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) :)
