This might be a case where something happened and they had to reload from backups. Give them a day or two to see if it changes back to the correct information. Yahoo may have to restore a series of backups to get everything back to where it should be.

Status: offline 		Yup yahoos servers hiccuped, only people added several weeks ago have the proper contact information on my list, everyone in the last few weeks are the regular screen names and wont be edited.

Personally Id keep the numbers in a word doc, not something that can be influenced by servers

Status: offline 		That would be your best bet -- to keep a paper backup -- if the information is important enough that you need immediate access to it.

Living the digital life is full of surprises, such as lost data. The individual PC users at home aren't the only ones that lose hard drives or interfaces, large corporations do too. Some companies have the resources to have many redundant backups so that data loss is never apparent to the end users. Other companies make do with less sophisticated backups in which there may be a period of time that troubles are obvious to the users. It all depends upon how each corporation views the importance of their backup strategies vs. the cost of implementing them vs. the uniqueness of the outage.

I have no idea how Yahoo deals with data backups, so I cannot speak for them. Hence my "speculation" disclaimer in my previous post.
