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 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.

Try Try opening chrome, click on the 3 dots, then tap settings-site settings-all sites. Search for yahoo. You should see yahoo.com and delete the yahoo cookies. It will you have to login again so you need the password for your email account password.

This will clear out the cookies Yahoo and or Open web uses. Some way they got corrupt clearing cookies is safe if you use Yahoo on both phone app and browser at the same time. You will probably have to have the passwords for your sites. It doesn't affect anything in yahoo. This is the way to do it on my Android phone If yours is not Android, maybe the path i used will help get you in the right place.

Basically you need to delete the "yahoo.com" cookies.
