    I've been having ongoing trouble with my Yahoo (email, etc.) sign-in page.

    It is constantly bouncing me out (for several weeks now) - even right after I sign-in sometimes, it will kick me out, and require me to RE-enter my password - again.

    I do have the personalized (anti-phishing) Security "Sign-in Seal" that they offer for added protection, I am simply wondering if this is not "just me" - or if it IS, "just me", that is experiencing this problem? And then what the heck can I do about it??

    Thanks,

    I use yahoo pretty much everyday and have not been experiencing any problems.

    Could it be one of your settings...cookies, for example?

    Try deleting any Yahoo cookies. If that doesn't work try deleting your cache in FireFox or your Temporary Internet Files in IE.

    Every once in a great while i will either not connect immediately or it will log me out, I notice it is when my modem signal is weaker than usual.

    No problem here with yahoo mail and I check in windows and linux on several different computers.

    Thanks to all, and yes, I suspect a problem with cookies (though I would have thought that cleaning-them-out would be the problem rather than the solution [?]).

    I'm away from that particular PC for a few days, but when I get back to it this weekend, I'll check-out all of the suggestions (deleting Yahoo cookies and cleaning FF Cache and IE Temp Files) provided here ...

    Thanks again,
    Glenn

    Yes ... YAHOO! (and the net in general) seems to be slow (busy/overloaded) today (Wed., 05NOV08) - at least on my PC. I am guessing due to post-election fervor (traffic).

    You should probably start a new thread if your problem persists.

    Thanks.
