Is anyone else having problems getting to Yahoo Mail tonight?

starman · Mar 7, 2008, 11:20 PM

I see it up, but I can't get to dreamhost.

What is dream host?

Dreamhost is down for me. Yahoo Mail is working fine.

IceEnclosure · Mar 8, 2008, 12:41 AM

Whoop. And Dreamhost is back.

driven · Mar 8, 2008, 12:45 AM

What's up with people giving provocative responses when it would have been easier and faster to simply type "Los Angeles based Web-hosting service". Or "Web-hosting service."

Back in the day people used to try to be helpful to each other.

That said: My problem wasn't my DNS. It turns out that I had a bad Yahoo Cookie that was in both my Firefox and Safari browsers. Once I deleted the bad cookie everything started working again. (Just in case anyone else has the same problem.)

I DO help people, when they are n00bs or don't know how to help themselves.
I *DON'T* help people that are lazy and should know better.

Google is easy.

For most people responding to a question with three words such as "web host provider" is easier than starting a thread of bickering over someone's "Google Skills".

That's why I didn't start a whole thread.

And the reason why this bothers me is because it's happening all the time.
70% of the questions could be answered by just typing the question in Google. Why wasting everybody's time with it ?

Yep ... you are right. You are FAR smarter than I. I yield to your superior intellect.

You may have the last word Sparky.
