Problems with Yahoo FBL

There are a couple problems I’ve been alerted to with the Yahoo FBL today.
The first comes from Michael Ellis and is about broken FBL reporting at Yahoo.

[In Firefox and Chrome] If you see a email in the junk folder and open it, then click this is not spam; it tosses you out of the email and back into the junk folder list view and the email is still there. It has also reported it as another Feedback Loop complaint. Only if you hit this is not spam in the junk folder list view does it go to the Inbox.

The second is from Al Iverson. Currently the Yahoo FBL management page is down. A issue has been opened to get this fixed.
