Can somebody please help/give suggestions
Since 2 days I cannot access my Yahoo account. The little round sleepy face won't come to life - stays white. Tried online help but the options don't include this bugger. No idea what caused it.

In a strange way I find your message reassuring  |

have you updated your antivirus program,or firewall,sometimes this can cause a problem with emailing on some search engines.or anything you may have updated just before it didnt connect,as others say this is a problem with yahoo,it has its ups and downs.more so since yahoo has updated itself. |

Anti-virus is still the same. I honestly didn't do anything - the thing just froze. Still the inanimate white sleepy face.
I could always email using my google account, and I can now email via Yahoo, but not chat.
And that irks me big time. |

Just been chatting to a friend who said their yahoo messenger been down for a week but okay now
So it may be a technology problem not of your making.
Incidentally when trying to message you direct it says you don't accept message from 'our sex' ? |

That is odd - as far as I know any gender can contact me. I made sure of that as I often find myself stumped when trying to contact women. |

"It was on a news website last week that they had been having problems, so its not you, its them....here is an update.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25347905"
Thanks for that link. But there's only mention of problems with mail, not with the chat function. Hm. Will have to wait, I guess. |

Things still aren't back to normal.
And the oddest thing is that the white sleepy smiley on the bottom toolbar cannot be budged, removed.. it just sits there frozen.
I got some sort of chat possibility now, but cannot keep it open. It shuts down when I click it away, so I have no means of seeing if any of my contacts is online.
*shakes weary head* |

Sometimes it can happen if there making changes or upgrades. Yahoo have a habit of not telling people what's going on, so you sometimes discover something new or different after several weeks or months.
Fingers crossed it will sort itself out. |

In case someone is lying awake over this:
just switched on the laptop and... wahey!
little sleepy icon sprung back into life.
Glad I woke up on this ungodly hour (03.00).
Thanks everyone for trying to figure out what had happened.
A glitch after all.
Happy pagan Yule to all   |
