I'm trying to get to the Yahoo homepage and getting Server Hangup, it's been quite some time now. I have even used http://www.yahoo.com and still get the same thing. Problems usually don't last too long, so just keep trying, that's all we can do. They were changing their servers, so maybe they ran into some problems.
This is happening to everyone at this time. Hopefully it won't last too long.
It would be too soon for any take over from AOL, it's just behind the scenes talk right now. This seens to be all over, so it's a server problem.
