Yahoo doesn't follow 301 redirects ?

    I was wondering if Yahoo still takes in consideration 301 redirects.
    I have set up the redirect for about two weeks now. Google and MSN saw it, absolutely no problem with them.
    Still, yahoo doesn't want to do anything.. :confused:
    Has anybody been in the same situation ?

    Has Slurp! done a deep crawl on your site? If it has, it still may take time before the crawl goes into the index. Yahoo! does follow 301s as it is the preferred ethical method to redirect.

    Yahoo takes some time to update the index after a deep crawl...

    they showed mine after a day or two in their index. But then again they started crawling my site completely every day.
    I have a small site with only 100 pages or so and slurp hits my site approximately 80 times every day since a few weeks.

    I know They crawl the site because it takes the new titles and descriptions and shows the cached page from the new site but still shows the OLD domain.

    I check the server headers and it is indeed returning a 301 code so WTF is up with Yahoo!? It's starting to really get on my nerves.
