How do I find the message boards for companies that recently changed their ticker symbol in Yahoo Finance?

Question

When a company changes their ticker symbol I can not find the Message Board for that company any more (under Yahoo Finance). As an example: Halozyme Inc. changed ticker symbol from HTI to HALO. When I click on HALO's message board I am informed that there is no message board for this company. Back when they were HTI the message board was alive and well.

Thanks for help in advance,

Walter

Answer 1

Yahoo's been having some challenges recently. Plus, they've definitely had issues keeping up w/ message boards.

Looks like your best bet is to report this directly to Yahoo!

Here's how to get to a page to report your problem directly to Yahoo!

In Yahoo!Finance, at the top right of the page, there's a help link. Click on that to get your here

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/


Then click on one of the links on the left like quote basics. Here's that page:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/quotes/quote-01.html/


Finally, at the bottom is the contact customer care button. Yes, it's convoluted, but that's one way to get there!


Oh, or just click here (if it works). (hard for me to test if it works since I clicked through to get there)

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/general.html?


Once you get there and ask your question, they're pretty good at getting back to you, but you may have to ask/answer back and forth a couple of times.

Hope that helps!

I'd contact Yahoo. They may have missed the symbol change.
