What's wrong with Yahoo! 360 right now?

Question

I am trying to create a Yahoo! 360 account for my other account but I can't, once I chose a nickname and email address to use and click continue it says this

"Sorry, the page you requested was not found.

Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below." It's like it doesn't let me or something. Is there something wrong with Yahoo! 360 right now or is it just doing this to me?

Answer 1

There is suppose to be some maintanence work going on now with Yahoo 360. I set up an account for my son and it took 2 weeks for the invite to show up in my email so that I could accept it. When I emailed Yahoo 360, they basically told me sorry, but because everyone was busy with the maintanence, it wouldnt be addressed. Eventually it showed up, but it was 2 weeks later.  

Answer 2

While still logged into that account, go to http://360.yahoo.com and try clicking the "Yahoo 360 Home" link in the right corner.

There is no maintenance going on with Yahoo! 360 now. They are preparing to transfer the service to another system. However, glitches have not been specifically fixed since October 2007 at least. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space (that works).

People are still able to create new 360 spaces. There could be other factors involved. I would suggest trying to set up a 360 space for that account on a different computer, not on your Internet network IF the above doesn't work. If you just set up this other account, then you may want to wait some days. If your other Yahoo account is through an Internet Service Provider (and not one that you created with no association with an ISP), then that can cause some problems. Make sure that this "other account" is completely separate from other Yahoo accounts (i.e. that it's not just a profile for another account).

Yahoo! 360 is full of glitches, but it's been that way for a long time. Recently, they've been taking spaces offline and then back online, but that's about it.
