Answer 1

Yahoo! 360 often has slow periods. Today (6/19/08) I've had trouble accessing 360 spaces - getting error messages. Yahoo servers often have backlogs of messages. There are many glitches - including instances where comment boxes stop working. There's not much a user can do about it. The service began in a "beta" (i.e. testing) mode in 2005 and it has not changed from that status.

Also, the Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports, as it prepares to launch a new social-networking system in the 2nd half of 2008. 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.
