Thanks…no wonder I didnt know the alternate email address…the *&^#* hacker changed it to their own.
Soooo….now I have this email, presumaby from the hacker dude. Can I report it? I should have taken a screen shot of my info page showing it there, but I was so excited to get it back and I changed it back to my own email.
Yeah thats what Ive been trying to do…I thought I had it somewhat narrowed down….I didnt have the nickname I used for the ID until 1998, and I know for sure I had the ID by March 2000 because I joined a Yahoo Group then. I thought the “net guy”, using those constraints, would be my ex-fiance…but so far, no luck with his name. Unless they had me make a security question at a later time? (I read that accounts created before 8/98 didnt have security questions)
I callede Yahoo again and they said they cant help me unless i answer the question or provide my alternate email address…Ive been online since ’94 and I have a zillion emails, a lot I have forgotten.
Sigh. Thanks for all your help.

Thats why you can’t get into your account. As far as getting it back… do you remember the rest of the details you used at sign-up?Oh yep, I knows thats what happened 🙂 *sigh*
Getting it back…I have one of the stupidest security questions ever written (back, I guess when you could write your own) : “Who is your favorite net guy?” Realllllllly smart. I did this years ago, and I have ideas of who it could be….but no luck so far. I dont even know what year I made that question, which would be an infinite help. And they said something about an alternate address but its to an account Im sure I no longer have. I think Im screwed. I wish they would let me fax my drivers license or what have you cuz I think that proves more than some security question.
