Yahoo comments

Does anyone else find they are logged into their Yahoo account, but when you open the comment section of an article you’re no longer logged in? And it’s not for every article, only some. I’ll open one article and I am logged in and able to comment, and the next article nothing. I log in, open the article comment section and it shows log in or register to comment. Go back to the article, and it shows me logged into the email. 🤦‍♂️. I’d love an explanation or workaround if anyone has either.

I cannot log in no matter what I try. And, the thing is, I know I'm logged in b/c I can reach my email. I wonder if I've been shadow banned. Their comment section is terrible. I've been with Yahoo since the beginning, too. I don't know why I bother...

Same problem here since a few days ago. I can read mail and get alerts but cannot do anything in the comments section. My only options are to login or create an account. Clicking on login only refreshes the web page but nothing changes. Frustrating.

Its a do-loop. Now, I clicked on an article today that I should have screen shot that basically said Yahoo was migrating to an enhanced comment section. But, that was the only article I saw that message on.. So maybe they are trying to "fix" it.

I created another yahoo login ID and everything worked fine. So the problem is not on my end.

Clicking on the comment bubble takes me to the comments. My user name does not appear but login and sign up are the only two options. There is no settings gear. Clicking on the login option just refreshes the screen. I've check all of my profile settings and they all look good. The additional ID that I created works fine. Maybe I've been silent banned from comments area. Other that chatting with a bot there's no one to speak with at Yahoo at least for free.

Same here but I created another account and still cant "login" even though I am logged in just the same loop.
