Error 999 keeps popping up when trying to get into a game room but not all the yahoo games?

Question

I can get into my mail, messenger, and myyahoo but I can not get into "Hold em Poker" or spades, pool, black jack or any game room that actually plays with other people....and please don't tell me to delete a file and update ... because I can't get into them but my husband can log into and actually get into the game rooms that I can't...it's the same computer with the same IP address...with 2 different users, so tell me why only my username is blocked and not his? I have never been rude, used bad language or been disrespectful to anyone online, I have never abused my yahoo priviledges in anyway! So why am I blocked?

Answer 1

Not sure anyone has the answer really. I have researched heavily over the weekend. It is not a new problem.

Does seem very much like a block. I have had it for four days, though each day i can get in at least once. I am still trying to find out why. It seems if i back off trying to get in for awhile, then i can get in when i do try. But it should follow then that i could get in first thing in the day whenever i try the first time. But i can't.

Many solutions have been offered, and tried, but none of them have had any consistent or consecutive success.

If only Yahoo would open up their communication and let us know what is going on, but they are very closed and unopen in that way.

It has been suggested that they are having server problems and depending what server you are on will dictate if you are the one with the problems.

Very interesting that you and your husband have the same ip address. That would seem to eliminate the blocked ip theory, the one that the spammers have hijacked ip numbers so the hijacked person gets banned rather than them.

I just got into games a few hours ago for today. Took all day to do it though.
