That’s funny. My photo only disappeared for a few hours on the 8th. It’s been back ever since and I can still change it back and forth from the Adult Designation. I wonder what’s going on, and if these changes have been delayed or cancelled, to let us all know instead of leaving us wondering.

Anyone from yahoo care to tell us what’s up? Delayed? Cancelled? What?

April 11 … looks like they did the deed, finally. Photos are gone on a few I checked; “adult” warning is gone, too.

As though they never existed.

Did yahoo change their minds? My adult profile photo disappeared briefly on the 8th, was back on the 9th and still there today. The Edit Photo feature still does not work but we can still designate our profiles as adult.

If yahoo did change their minds, FANTASTIC! If not, what’s up?

Another question. What are your plans (long or short term) for adult groups? If Adult Profiles will eventually go away, does that mean down the road all adult parts of yahoo (including groups) will go away too?

So it’s April 10, the day after Yahoo said they were going to delete photos on adult profiles.

The photos still exist, and so do adult profiles.

Way to communicate with customers, Yahoo! Good on you!

So what are you not going to do next? Buy Microsoft?

Okay so no photo, no adult designation, no mature content.,.this mean I can no longer place my adult groups links I have and my own adult website link on my profile any longer as my Home Page links or Cool Links..what?

This is just ONE MORE NAIL in Yahoo’s coffin for me. I’ve been migrating many applications I used to rely on Yahoo for over the past five years — I used to be a loyal Yahoo customer (and, still pay for my Yahoo e-mail account!), but when they went on a Yahoo Groups deleting spree, taking userids with them (including the one I had since Yahoo went online!), I lost everything — address book, Yahoo IM chat records, buddies’ list, Yahoo Maps! locations. I was lost.

I don’t trust Yahoo anymore, and from the way things are looking, I’m never going to again. I hope Microsoft DOES buy them up just to FIRE the sorry asses of the people that made my online life hell for over a year.

.. I’ll be on Google watching with glee.

Well once again Yahoo! isn’t thinking. What’s gonna happen to the adult links in adult profiles? Well I think Yahoo! really needs to get their heads out of their ass. HELLO YAHOO!!!!! Kids can see the links and go to adult rooms. I can really see a big lawsuit happening when a mother catches their child on an adult groups site. Get real Yahoo!!!!. That’s why most of us don’t use you anymore.

Dantcer, just what is ‘multiply’. I’ve been there and I can’t see how it can function like a Yahoo group.

Can you explain please ?

I’ve been trying to get Yahoo to close everything adult related since the whole pervert, predator, pedophile and animal abuse thing ages ago.

Finally this is a step in the right direction.

Captcha did nothing to deter porn bots and booters.

If you go to almost *any* adult room, it’s loaded with bots, pervs, predators, pedo’s and animal sex freaks.

Self-control goes a long ways and these people did nothing to control themselves.

Now if Yahoo would get-rid-off all adult chatrooms, the incredibly bad fetish rooms and such, that would complete the picture.
