For the first time ever, I can't login. Just sticks with half a progress bar on the download of the page. No error message other than from Firefox after an age. Can't get in via Safari either. Am about to try IE, but I'm flummoxzed by it all. I have tried a different wifi service. Different computer. No dice. Is the whole uk yahoo mail thing down? Is it just me that's locked out? Damn, this is frustrating! I’m having a bad day with yahoo mail. For the first time ever, I can’t login. Just sticks with half a progress bar on the download of the page.
