What is wrong with the Yahoo Photo Site? I can no longer upload pics. Please help?

Question

I get the following message "Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999." This has been going on since yesterday. Any idea what the problem is?

Answer 1

Error 999 is a sign that Yahoo's defense is in effect.

"This error appears to be caused by some sort of bandwidth limiting system that Yahoo has put in place on their servers. Once you have exceeded your allotted bandwidth for a specific period of time Yahoo gives you this Error 999 message and doesn't allow you to access the service."

If you visit the URL below, you can also find a few possible resolutions.

Answer 2

Seems to be working for me. May want to try again later.
