I just checked and I accessed it immediately.  Maybe they don't like your anti-American comments and won't let you in.  *a little dose of paranoia for you!*

LOL!!

  All the European Yahoo's work except the mail.

  Anyway maybe its because I sent 5 giant huge emails to somebody.

Why would that make a difference?  I didn't know there was a limit on how much you could send.  Maybe they are slow readers and they want to see if you said anything they don't approve of.  lol

I can get on Yahoo Canada. I can open my email, I can see the email. But I can't reply now. So its slowly coming back. I don't use Yahoo.com anyway don't want to see Paris Hilton headlines and crap.

I really don't believe Yahoo is that touchy, Sportsdude.

But maybe you're on a Local Area Network ? That would explain those 3 other computers.

  Frankly, Sportsdude, if you ask me - I would look for some nasty in your computer (or maybe it's in another computer on your network). Not being able to use your mailbox just isn't normal, you shouldn't take this kind of thing.

The easiest solution would be to format your HDD and reinstall your operating system, otherwise you might check for spyware, viruses and trojans.

Online spyware and virus checks at vny!://www.trendmicro.com
Look for online trojan checks with a search engine.

You could also perform a check with Hijack This! which lists all found software in a log, and submit this log to some places on the web which are dedicated for that sort of thing. Look with a search engine.

This must be B.S.
It smells that way.

Your olfactory organs are obviously at fault - however as the matter is now cleared up, perhaps there's nothing wrong with them after all.
