Hello

If you're using the NEW My Yahoo! page, locate and select 'Personalize this page', select 'AUTOREFRESH | ON', select 'Close' on the right corner to save and exit Personalization.   This option is not available with My Yahoo! 'Classic'.

If you're still using My Yahoo! Classic try these maintenance items, especially 1. & 2.  

___1. On Internet Explorer (IE) menu click 'Tools', click 'Internet Options', click 'General' tab, at 'Browsing history' click 'delete' temporary files, click 'OK' to exit. Repeat periodically. With email or internet usage weekly or monthly temporary file deletion is recommended.

___2. Increase the browser disk space allotment. On the menu again click 'Tools', click 'Internet Options', click 'General' tab, scroll to browsing history, set 'Disk space usage' at 250MB or 500MB, click 'OK' to finish.

___3. If you're using XP some systems did not ship with Java. For XP and VISTA and MAC download and install the latest version at http://www.java.com/

___4. Many Yahoo! advertisements are Flash Player oriented and you may need to install the newest version, XP and VISTA and MAC  http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer

It may be time to leave Classic for the New My Yahoo! page.

Best wishes,

Answer 2

Maybe because Yahoo whats us to get Yahoo 360.

Answer 3

I think that's because Yahoo is trying to force us all to use the new My Yahoo beta. If you jump there once and come back to the original, it will update, but only for a short time. Market power at work!

Answer 4

I wonder if this is the case ?? want to force us to update to a  poor beta... I see their newer pages getting worse and worse.....  probably have some martian monkeys designing their new pages now ... that would explain things ...

Answer 5

Mine just started doing the same thing... No updates on any topic. Checked all settings.. deleted browser history..Auto refresh is on.

I'm have 2 computers and only the VISTA OS is affected.. XP - side by side is OK... Any other thoughts?

Answer 6

I have the same problem, I have come to count on my.yahoo for sports, news and televsion information and it hasn't updated in 4 days.  I tried logging off and logging back in and that didn't help. My machine is very old and can not handle the beta version of the web page.  Any suggestions are very appreciated.
