yahoo profile problem?

evening,

I have a bit of a weird problem with yahoo profiles. If i try and look at someones profile, i get this message:

"The requested URL /**** was not found on this server."
(*** being the username)

but if i put in a proxy address, it alll works fine! Is this just me???

No, I have had intermittent problems with viewing profiiles in the last few days, even a couple of hours ago. I haven't changed proxies (I just thought the server was down), but i'll try that. Cheers.

Same issue here for about a year now, on and off. It's annoying, but if you change proxies it does cure it. Since this is so well known about why on earth NTL haven't fixed it is beyond me.

yep, its a pain! and i dont get it either, the error page is a yahoo page, so something weird is going on!

I have also been having the same problem.
After contacting Yahoo they said it is a known problem that effects NTL users and that NTL are supposed to be aware of it.
I have also contacted Tech some time ago and was told that this problem had never been reported before and he would get it looked into.
Needless to say the problem still exists and after a period of time seems to resolve itself till NTL move you onto another proxie and it all starts again.
Perhaps if one of the Tech guys sees this thread he may be able to throw some light onto why this keeps happening.
Presuming that is that Yahoo have not told me porkys and I would trust them with that as far as I could throw them.
