Boo on My Yahoo!

Boo to My Yahoo! for redirecting to an error page when a problem pops up:

Why is this bad? Well, it pretty much breaks the reload button for no good reason. Since I’m bounced to an error page, when I reload the page, I simply go straight to the error page. Efficient yes, but I’m still going to get the error page if I reload even after the page has been fixed.

Not good design.

The generic -5 error isn’t particularly helpful either. Maybe I should be glad it wasn’t -6? Or did I just miss -4? I don’t know. What exactly am I supposed to do with this information?

While you we’re waiting for things to come back, it seems it will display anything you set for e however, given one an opportunity to express them self.

    Don’t blame me, but I’ll fix it.

    Hey, you gotta give whoever created the page points for spelling “Oops” right!
