Is it unable to open any member profiles in a group?

Yahoo profiles are broken?

• I've posted this before and I still do not have an answer. The "best" answers in the other question are either ridiculous, or the author makes up his/her own facts and answers the question based on the imaginary facts. I will continue to ask the question until I either get a response from Yahoo, the problem is fixed, or someone actually answers the question. It used to be when I clicked on a yahoo-id in a member list in a group membership, or tried to view the profile of someone who sent me email, I'd get some information back about the person - name, age, location, etc. These days, 90% of the time, I get a page that says "Profile not found". What's going on? Has Yahoo eliminated profiles? One of the reasons this is important to me is because I'm running an adult group and I want to make sure that the people joining are adults and not minors - I want to see their ages. Location, if it's in their profile, is also useful. But, these days, I can't get any information about people - I just get "not found". What's going on? Several of the people whose profiles I cannot view SWEAR that they have info in their profiles and their profiles are NOT hidden. They do have Yahoo profiles - they are not signed up through google, or other third-party service. They claim their profiles have the information and are visible. None of the URLs that used to work such as: http://people.yahoo.com http://members.yahoo.com http://profiles.yahoo.com http://pulse.yahoo.com work. I still get a "Profile not found" error. The "best answer" in a previous question makes the assumption that the group is about porn and/or pedaling porn. This is a FALSE assumption. There are *many* "adult" topics that might be discussed in an adult group that has NOTHING to do with porn! For one example: STDs. I'm not asking for full name, location or other such information. I'm asking for age. That is appropriate for ANY adult group discussing any adult topic. I ask that the profile be "visible" so that everyone can see that there are no minors. This is not unreasonable. However members say their profiles ARE visible and DO have the age in them... I just can't view them. When I try, I get a "Profile not found" error. This is NOTHING to do with people being ashamed of being in an adult group or trying to hide their identities. They claim the profiles are openly viewable but they are not. There is a difference between "not found" and "hidden" profiles. Even using the links above, many of these profiles show up as "not found". That normally means there IS NO profile despite the fact that these people claim they have a profile, and that their profiles are visible to everyone. Also, the problem cannot possibly be caused by something on my computer as someone in another "best answer" suggested. This is not a problem with cache on my machine, or anything else. My question is still not answered. And, Yahoo Help has refused to respond. I wish there were some way to contact someone in the management area of Yahoo so I could complain about this issue to people who can do something about it, or at least let them know that their "help" center has refused to actually help.

• Answer:

  I have the same problem with you too. But when I was trying to answer your question above, there is a warning pop up says that I'm under aged. Then I checked my profile (I'm using [email protected]). After word "hello" on the up left of mail.yahoo.com, I click "data account" and re-sign in by enter my password and I found that my birthday year was 2011. But when I'm trying to edit my profile "page not found" was opened. So, I assumed, because of my "wrong age" yahoo system don't allow me to access my account since I'm only 1 years old LOL. But, this trouble didn't happen on my other account. I can use it to answer your question because the information given about my age was right. (at least more than 17 years old). And I already checked the "edit profile" page too, and it opened without any problem. So, may be the main problem of yours the same with mine. Hope it helps..
