Yahoo Photos working again after weekend problems

by Elinor Mills

A Yahoo spokeswoman has confirmed that some Yahoo Photos users were unable to use the service last weekend. The company has fixed a technical problem that was preventing some people from uploading images into Yahoo Photos, downloading high-resolution versions and editing images, the spokeswoman says. The unspecified problem began early Friday morning and lasted until Sunday evening, affecting about 10 percent of the Yahoo Photos users.
