Has Yahoo gone crazy?

Since last night, I can't change my password, and this AM I couldn't post a question about it on Yahoo. I don't see any suspicious activity on my Yahoo account. I see a few more questions like mine on Yahoo in the last 24 hours, but who knows how many questions, like mine, couldn't be posted.

They are in a very strange place right now. Yahoo is up for sale and trying to find a buyer. I would think hard about continuing to use them going forward. They may be bought and continue on and get better or they may completely fall apart.

Either way things are very unstable at yahoo right now.

Having said that I really have no idea if they are having issues today or not.

Bet they're messing with it and they broke things.

I just made an outlook.com account. Thanks for booting me in the rear.

Probably smart to make the transition.

If you use an android phone you might already have a gmail account. There are quite a few good alternatives but in my opinion google brings a lot to the table with a gmail account. Outlook is good as well it really depends a lot on the ecosystem you use the most.
