Error code -40031

[ramblinrose]

I hope there is a fix. I don't know what happened. I saw my friend's name was changed so I tried to rename but I received an error *last address book operation did not success due to an error code -40031*.

I have yahoo version 8.1.0.421, windows xp home sp2

Thanks for any help! Rose

I've had several Yahoo problems with my contact list over the last year. I'm guessing your error is similar and it's a Yahoo thing. I'd try again later and see if perhaps it just clears itself up. I doubt it will take more than a day or two and it will work again.

As soon as I sign in yahoo im today...I saw it went back to normal finally! About time, I think it took few days. I am happy now.

May I ask what everyone think about new yahoo beta version 9? I'd personally don't care for beta version, that's why I ask.

Thank you for helping...I'd appreciated it! hugs, Rose

I don't hate the beta. I've been using it for a couple of months. It has a few quirks that took a little getting used to. All in all most things are functional. I'm going to stick with it for now at least.

Hello and welcome to BBB! The Yahoo servers have been having a lot of problems lately. You will need to wait a few days, and the problem will likely correct itself.

There is probably nothing wrong with your computer or your installation of Yahoo. I know how frustrating it is, and how you would like to be doing something...anything...to fix the problem. But when the error is on the server side, the only thing you can do is to be patient.

Try editing the address book entry (while signed out) in Yahoo! Mail, under the contacts section (in the new Yahoo! Mail).

Sounds like a write to database error.

Could be a few factors for that happening

Yahoo addressbook server could be slow, broke

Local program blocking it

or yahoo changed something serverside and the current clients don't handle it proper.
