Games suggestions ? en_US Copyright 2013 Yahoo! Help Community InQuira Information Manager http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> Hello all,

You've probably found this thread while looking for information about one of the 8 games affected in our Play Pages update (see list below).  The announcement says:

In order to create a more flexible platform on which we can deliver even more great titles, we have revised the play pages for our games and will remove 8 lower rung games out of about 1000 available games.

Classic, popular parlor titles such as Hearts, Euchre, and Chess, won't be affected, of course. They'll continue to live on their original pages.  A very small number of webgames (listed below) *will* be affected and will no longer be available.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know, and we will do our best to address them. Do you have a game to suggest to your fellow Y! Gamers that could take the place of one of the deleted games? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Take care,
AdamW

Papas Burgeria
Trijinx
Da Vinci Code (web verision)

]]> 2012-07-01 12:34:24 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> Yahoo Free Games has not worked for days now.  I downloaded new version of Java to see if that was the problem and no go.  Also, used your help to check Active Scripting and all is as it should be.  When will the problem be fixed for the free games?????

 

]]> 2012-07-02 04:37:03 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> I have played about 6 games faithfully for years (Mahjongg, Bouncing Balls, Gaps Solitaire, Bricks Breaking, etc.  All of a sudden (Saturday) the games will not load on my computer anymore.  I can get to them and as soon as I click on I see this star-type icon spinning around BUT it never stops, same thing on all games I tried for days now.  WHAT HAPPENED???

]]> 2012-07-03 02:31:12 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> I can't play any games anymore either.  I've tried several and they just have the spinning symbol.  Does anyone at yahoo monitor these posts to see if things are working?   Change the page back!!!!!!

]]> 2012-07-06 20:10:23 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> I can't access my free games , such as bouncing balls and soduko.  Can anyone help?  The page comes up but the games don't.

]]> 2012-07-07 15:31:44 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> I haven't been able to load any of the free games like pool practice, ma jong, breaking bricks, starries, minnic black jack or any other for that matter for nearly 2 weeks

    can't give a review or a rating for any game cause can't even get the game or any games to load but can't leave a note on the Games Community Help cause it won't let me, at least till now--have no where to be able to leave a message about the games not working right. I had some games I really enjoyed but can't access any f them. Also accidently ended up with a couple of games in my favorite games that showed at the top of the games page and found there was no place or way to delete them or to find how to delete them. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks now and hasn't been resolved even tho it seems like many have written in about it. Have enjoyed many of the Yahoo games but am about ready to give up and just play the spider solitare that came preloaded on my computer.

Games suggestions ?]]> I can get mahjongg to load up but now i have 2 ads on the screen,one on the game board and another to the side!!! When the ad on the side finishs internet explorer encounters a problem and closes!! very upset that i can't play my favorite game,my boyfriend in another state does not have this problem,he uses windows xp and i am using windows 7??? any help pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!!

]]> 2012-07-23 11:56:13 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> So....it's now August and guess what? Many, many games are NOT working.....

Well, can't say I'm interested in trying any new games when all I get is an Oooooooopppppsss message that I'm very, very tired of seeing. These games may be free to play, but your advertisers are losing out!!  Why would anyone pay to advertise on a game that no one ever gets to see. Maybe on the rare times that a game appears we need to contact the advertiser and tell them how many times we tryed to reach the site where they are attempting to spend their advertising dollars!

]]> 2012-08-08 22:02:08 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]>   Well, here it is the 22nd of August and still can't access any of the games. I used to enjoy the games on Yahoo but every time I check back to see if anything has been resolved--everything is still all messed up. Will there ever be a resolution to this problem. I notice that I'm not the only one who is wondering when the problems with the Games will ever be fixed. It would be nice IF that there is actually work being done to resolve the issues with the Games that there would be a reply or notice put on the Games page that it is being worked on and that eventually we will have the Games back in working order.

Games suggestions ?]]> Your new games format really stinks.  I have been playing Daily Sudoku for years now and since your new (improved???????) format I can't get squat.  The page just sits there with the little pinwheel icon rotating and rotating and rotateing ad nauseum and no game.  Go back to the old format before all your programmers lose their job for incompetency.

]]> 2012-09-02 13:53:30 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> Hi Yahoo Games Team:  Please advise why when playing free pool when the yahoo! server errors out that I am banned from re-entering a pool lobby for several minutes?  It is not because of a violation of TOS, nor does it say that this is the reason.  However, it is long enough time for me to get a mark as having abandoned a game. This affects my rating.  Thank you.

]]> 2012-09-07 23:38:30 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> Well, it is now the 10th of September and still can't play any Yahoo games. Are we ever going to get the games page back to where we can play any of the games or not??? That little rotating wheel is a pain in the rear when a person would rather be playing Bejeweled or solitaire or any other Yahoo games. Is there any hope at all for the games or not---sure would be nice if there would be some updates put on the games page as to when we might see some time element as to when the page will be back up so we can go back to enjoying Yahoo games.

]]> 2012-10-11 12:18:24 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> I cannot get into the bridge game i have palyed for the past 2 years. It would be wonderful if you are fixing the message board area where some very perverted people are posting filfth that has nothing to do with bridge. Is there a problem with this sight?

]]> 2013-03-23 15:28:47 Etc/GMT <![CDATA[New Play pages experience! Games suggestions ?]]> Yes, I have a reply!   I sm suffering from SPADES withdrawal.  It is my foprm of relaxation after a long, hard day of work.  I usually play 5-8times a weeks fo rat least 2 hours.  It has been excrucisating for me.  I called my techie firends to see if it was anythign that I was doing wrong.  We tried pop up blockers, caches-you name it.  Then we found out that it was Yahoo.  Please hurry guys...adn PLEASER donlt touch my Spades!  Lovre the format and everything.  The only complaint I have is that it could be larger (can;t afford a larger screen at this time).

You guys have been amazing in the past.  Please hurry befoer zI lose it!  Thanks in advance--a staunch Yahoo supporter
