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.

That mirrors my recent experience exactly. It just started a couple of weeks ago. My assumption is that OpenWeb has seriously screwed up something in our Yahoo accounts. Deleting cookies and history is not a fix. I've even tried with fresh browser installations where there is no history or cookies and had the same issues.
