Having trouble accessing Yahoo.com? It's not just you.

Users on Twitter are reporting that Yahoo is down. The website DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com also confirmed the site's outage.

Attempting to load yahoo.com returned several error messages, including one indicating that there was a "Server Hangup" and another reading "Connection refused."

There are reports that Yahoo Mail is still working, despite issues accessing Yahoo.com.

As of 5:35PM ET, Yahoo had not posted an update from its official Twitter account regarding the outage.
Referencing rumors that AOL is contemplating a takeover of Yahoo, Anil Dash joked in a tweet, "Maybe they took down Yahoo.com to put an AOL logo on it? Oh wait, this must be what Prince's press conference is about! Internet's over!"

The Next Web's BradTNW wrote on Twitter, "I don't remember Yahoo.com ever going down. Does anyone else? Maybe a service once in a while, but not the .com itself."
