Since my previous post I really thought nothing could make yahoo mail worse, but hey, just a few minutes later, here’s what yahoo login displays now (or at least, what firefox 24 thinks it does) :Endless redirect loop detected on login. Way to go, yahoo programmers, you should get a prize for this
Is this even for real ? Maybe the new yahoo leadership including Marissa Mayer should spend less time on publicising themselves on social media and other venues, and instead focus more on upgrading some servers ?
