I just configured (by clicking the checkbox) Yahoo login for a customer and they got a white box. I did too.

I checked on [https://try.discourse.org/](https://try.discourse.org/) and had the same problem.

This is a different problem from [Yahoo login doesn't seem to work - #22 by italophile](https://meta.discourse.org/t/yahoo-login-doesnt-seem-to-work/29039/22).

Yahoo has a lot of availability issues, though, so make sure it’s not that. It works fine for me on try:

I just logged in fine to try.

Very. Very. Strange. Now I get

For the record, I got past the screen in your screen shot and **after** I’d logged in to Yahoo got the blank screen.

I think my solution will be to recommend that folks not use the Yahoo login.

The root cause of this problem (502 from nginx) has been identified and a fix is underway:

> It does make a difference, actually. The actual problem was that in our environment the size of the headers sent back by Discourse for the request going to /auth/yahoo are very large - 3897 bytes. BUT when navigating around before trying to login, the headers (one of which is the cookie that has some pre-login session state) gets larger, e.g. up to a size of 4142 bytes. This is larger than the [buffer which nginx allocates](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffer_size) for holding that first part of the response. Upping the size of proxy\_…
