Just tried it out and had the same issue. Maybe the servers are down or something.

Also http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ is a cool website for checking if websites are down.

I would link to their tumblr but it is probably filled with porm gifs that clog the search engines..

I just changed mine when I first heard they got hacked...Yahoo really needs better protection.

Okay it's up and running again---I guess the mods can close this if they want unless other members are having problems.

Lol! I know what you mean. Even more surprising is there are people still using AOL.

I don't use any of their products aside from e-mail, and that's mostly because I have an account that I used to use a lot more that I still keep around. That said, Yahoo!'s web mail app puts just about everyone else's to shame...it's really slick. I don't have many good things to say about their e-mail back-end, though. It seems to have a lot of issues.
