Yahoo! Toolbar users suffering from withdrawals.
Users of the Yahoo! Toolbar are seeing only the default set of buttons (what you'd see if not logged in) and, in some cases, not loading buttons at all. According to posters in the Y! Toolbar support forum , this was first blamed on the recently released new version of Firefox. But it was soon pointed out to be inflicting IE users as well. Several of yesterday's posters complained of missing buttons on their Y! Toolbars. We'll keep you posted. In the mean time, you can open your Yahoo! Bookmarks in a separate tab or window to help get you through this. UPDATED (within the hour of posting): My Yahoo! Toolbar just reloaded successfully (happened on it's own with no help from me). Notably it contains a button that I was trying out a few days ago and lacks the button that it replaced. I had dropped the button I was trying and reinstated the original in its place. So it would appear that my current toolbar configuration is days old. Maybe Y! is restoring from a back up of the database? This would also explain the rolling downtime and recovery that users are reporting. Permalink Email this Linking Blogs Comments
