Hi, it's because you are not using that page anymore. You are redirecting to news.php. Not good.

Your directory listing is the "root" of your domain. Since you don't use the root anymore, Yahoo won't use it either.

No, Yahoo can't do anything about it. They just index what's on your site so you're the one who has to do something.

Put up an index page in the root directory of your site. There needs to be a page there. It's the redirection that's causing a problem.

ugh, there in an index.php (im using e107) the scripts automatically redirect i suppose...would the index.php count?
