Hello, guys.

I’m trying to use Yahoo! here, but it keeps disconnecting me at least once every 30 minutes. When I get disconnected, it automatically logs me be back in and I don’t even realize it. Problem is, it always logs me in as available. So can I either set this sucker to sign me back in with using my customer status message or busy or whatever I was when I got bumped, or can I kill the automatic reconnect feature?

I’ve been through the Yahoo! preferences and a forum search yet I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for. I’m using the latest version, downloaded from Yahoo! yesterday.

Thanks,

Mac

Use a program like HyperIM do to this…

HyperIM – Yahoo! Messenger 8.0 status, MSN Messenger, Google Talk and Skype status manager. Yahoo! hidden emoticons, Yahoo! auto-replies, plugins and more!

Well thanks, that is a cool a program, but it doesn’t solve my problem. When bumped, Yahoo! will still reconnect only as available or invisible, and I have to manually change it in HyperIM. I guess the real issue is trying to stay connected to Yahoo! lol

Still, thanks for the program. It will be fun to use.
