Query setting up new Yahoo account

ioscorpio

I set up new accounts for myself and my daughter, but when I was setting up my son's, after verifying and accepting the details, when I clicked continue, instead of going to the new emil account, it went back to the Create Free Account sign up page.

The ID was set up but not the email account, it shows the profile, but does not allow you to access the email. I have emailed Yahoo but they never respond to emails.

It could also be that yahoo have some anti span type filters which has recognised that someone is trying to set up three accounts from the same IP address in close sucession.

Maybe worth deleting cookies and then retrying to access the emails

Are you behind a router? It might be tracking your IP Address so therefore you might need to disconnect and then reconnect your router.

I tried accessing a free Yahoo account I have on Friday morning and my browser just sat there trying and trying to connect but failing each time. Perhaps it is time for Yahoo to spend some money on new servers.......

You can sign up for a new account now, but I still can't access the email account, I don't think it has actually set up the email only the Yahoo ID. If I delete the account, Yahoo do not actually delete it for 3-4 months in case there's any attempted fraudulent activity on it. Stalemate!!!!!
