Some registered Yahoo! users were left without email or instant-messaging capability on Tuesday and Wednesday. While the company acknowledged an early morning outage on Wednesday, some Yahoo! user reports indicated services were also out on Tuesday night in some areas. There were also complaints of Yahoo! Sports Fantasy Baseball being unavailable. Joe Beaulaurier, the blogger for 'The Unofficial Yahoo! Weblog', said: "I've been encountering problems with logging in to Yahoo! last night and again this morning. Sluggish to get into mail, and I have been unable to log in to Messenger at all this morning." The site also received comments from users complaining that Yahoo! did not immediately post a notice about the outage on its main page.
