2. Done 4 times
4 different computers and 4 different Yahoo names and still at only 2.5 stars.

Can't say I didn't do my best.

Thanks for pointing it out.

3. Yahoo changes the headlines of the stories........
I've noticed this many times. They'll word the headline in a fashion that makes people vote one way, then they'll reword the headline so that the vote looks completely the opposite of the way the worded it the first time. I noticed that on this particular story. I gave it one star before when they had a different headline for the same story. :eyes: Yahoo's playing word games......why? :shrug: It certainly convolutes their results. Maybe that's the intention.
