Yahoo PING Broken???

[Linda Buquet]

Hey all you blog dawgs!

Can someone ping Yahoo with your feed and see if you get an error?

http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping?u=http://site.example.com/blog

I always get either refresher server busy or refresh accepted.

All day today I get:
Refresh failed.Unknown error: -1http (and the rest of my blog url)

Can't figure out if it's broken or just is mad at my feed. It updates the forum without me even asking it to but does not like to update my blog very much.

Hey Linda,
I just tried it with two different blogs on two different hosts and received the exact same error message. Yahoo! is probably doing something behind the scenes or making some changes.

Now I'm starting to wonder what's going on...

Now I'm getting an internal error, so I'm fairly sure they're testing something new...

Thanks Mamma Blog Dawg!

Good to know they didn't just flag my account for some reason.
I use Pingomatic which should ping Yahoo but lately for me Pingo usually times out before it shows me it's hit Yahoo. Then when I try PingGoat it always tells me it pinged Yahoo, but Y doesn't update my blog, so then I ping Y manually. I was afraid maybe Y was getting all 3 pings and thought I was over pinging.
