I don't know if this would help, but I'm also getting "unterminated string" and "combo" errors. It just depends on which page I'm on. I used to post regularly to mainly the political news stories up until about 2 weeks ago when the reply option, the thumbs up/down, the reply option, and the number of replies disappeared. When this first started happening, I restored my computer to an earlier time and then downloaded updates where needed but this didn't help either. Please let me know if there is any other information I have that may help. Thanks! Julie

I am having trouble on yahoo, mainly with news stories I click on from their homepage. In the comment section, I can read the posts but I cannot leave a comment, there are no thumbs up or downs to click, and no place to click to "reply" like there used to be. I do get errors on other yahoo pages but none that cause much trouble. Windows and my anti-virus program are up to date. I use Windows XP. This is the error notice I receive when I click the icon on the bottom left corner of a yahoo news story:
