Title: Yahoo Groups sign in
Post by: Grumblebuns on Saturday,December 31, 2016, 07:14:58 AM
Anyone else beside me having problems logging into any Yahoo groups? This is the third day that it's been going on.

Error message I get is :

Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content.

I rarely log in, I usually just wait for the daily digest to arrive but after seeing your post I had a shot. It went in first time, but I'm using a Yahoo email account for the group and so it only asked me for the password.   Seems ok from the Uk end though.....

Thanks Brian. I stopped receiving individual emails earlier this year even though I didn't change my email preference. Now it appears that I'm totally locked out. Oh well  :confused:

FWIW, I got in without issue.

Hi again Joji, (and Happy New Year ! )

Something might be going on at Yahoo. As I said I don't normally bother with the website but after logging in yesterday when I switched on this morning there was an email supposedly from Yahoo telling me about account security and how I'd need to change my password the next time I logged in.

Given that my current password is a random selection of letters and numbers 10 characters long and so obscure that I can never remember it (I have to look it up every time I use it) I think there must be someone in Yahoo IT with time on their hands over the holidays.  Or they've been hacked but don't want to admit it ?

Thanks guys.

Brian, I got the same message several days ago about changing my password when I logged into Yahoo. Remembering all of the security issues Yahoo is recovering from, I went ahead and changed my password and that's when my login issues started. This morning, from the Yahoo groups preference page, I re-verified my email and some how that fixed my login issue, all normal again.
