Yes, for tracking, Yahoo often uses a redirection. Just like a
bazillion other sites.
What specifically is the problem?
Please provide a specific url that shows the problem - steps to reproduce, etc.
What browser? Have you tried clearing caches etc? Is JavaScript
enabled? What other plug-ins, add-ons, extensions, etc are involved?

This url works just fine for me, in both Safari and Firefox. The
main portion of the page loads immediately. A few seconds later, the
social media and other scripts finish and show their icons and such.
You can read the page. And then about a minute or so later the
garbage comments, all 319, show up.
Bottom line: When a script returns an error, do some thinking.
Recall that 99% of the javascripts on these web pages are for
craplets. They have nothing to do with the content you want. So
just hit the STOP button. Or better yet --- turn off JavaScript in
the first place, then visit the page. You'll be amazed at how fast
the web can be when you skip the craplets!

Hi,
Yahoo is useless on a G4 with Tiger. Lately all the links in my e-mails
didn't work and longer mails were shortened. I switched to Gmail and
everyting is more snappy and actually WORKS. Fuggetaboud Yahoo. I think it
was sold and the buyers let it die a slow death ...
Best regards, Jörg.
