WTF is wrong with My Yahoo? →[More:]My homepage is set to My Yahoo, but I keep getting this page, and the link to 'find out more' (which I don't want to do) is broken, and if I click the 'Continue to My Yahoo' link, I just get the same page reloading.

Is anyone else getting this piece of crap?

There's nothing wrong with your hoohoo. It's beautiful just the way it is and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I don't normally use my.yahoo, but was able to load it just now using my login without a problem.

Hmmm. If I go to www.my.yahoo.com, which was my default homepage, I get that useless page. But www.uk.my.yahoo.com works just fine. So I've changed it to that.

Maybe you've been playing with your yahoo too much and you broke it?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

My Yahoo home page seems to be okay though.

I always just used my.yahoo.com. I see that my.yahoo.co.uk (the logical alternative) redirects to uk.my.yahoo.com.

The www at the beginning of the URL is not strictly necessary and many, many websites handle it inconsistently, or not at all.
