How to fix error 999?

  • error 999

  • Answer:

    Error 999 IS a Ban ... a censor tool on your activity temporarily, used by Yahoo to block a person’s ISP! It is a result of too much activity of a variety of types in too short a time. Somehow, you exceeded the limits, and must wait a while to access your account again - usually 24 hours is enough. If the Error 999 message occurs in Answers, it usually is caused by the links - Yahoo is trying to avoid spammer links. Removing any links contained in your Question or an answer and then posting it without the link. (Put them back with Edit your answer.) The Help link for this Error is http://www.murraymoffatt.com/software-problem-0011.html The BEST ANSWER I've ever seen is this one, where I found the next link. It lists many possible solutions for curing the problem! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsN.zLKK9PKsTcrtC9ET1DTsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111222031834AAe87bH Full details and possible solutions are found on the following web page. "The 999 error is usually seen when too many accounts are created from a single IP address within a 24 hour period. Almost all account creation programs will encounter a 999 error once the abuse quota has been met. Other similar actions such as excessive posting on community message boards, SPAM like behavior in Yahoo! Mail, or too many password attempts for a particular account may also result in a 999 error. Yahoo! is constantly tuning their systems to prevent abuse so the exact list or amount of suspicious behavior is not known and is subject to change at any time." http://www.astahost.com/info/ttoitf-yahoo-unable-process-request-time-error-999-message-solutions.html (Ribbit)

It is something on YA where they block certain links. Esp. competitor's websites (like youtube is made by google) or stuff that is maybe illegal or stuff that spreads computer viruses or stuff that is maybe copyright. You cannot "fix" it. You can leave some spaces in between the letters of the link and tell people about the added spaces.

Post your answer without the link, then edit it with the link you want to put. To edit an answer click under it the option 'edit', near delete. It works! :)
