If you’re using Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 or earlier and you’re accessing Yahoo! Messenger from behind a firewall, you may see an important message pop up the next time you log in.
To help Yahoo! Messenger run more efficiently, we are making some changes to our servers, specifically those that support access for our users that are behind a firewall (typically those that use Yahoo! Messenger in a corporate environment).
The system message will encourage you to upgrade to Yahoo! Messenger 9.0. In about one month, we will be blocking sign in to 8.1 and earlier versions for users that are accessing from behind a firewall. Upgrading to 9.0 will ensure that you can continue to use Yahoo! Messenger.
Note that we’ll only show the system message to you if you are signing in from behind a firewall. You will continue to see the message until you upgrade to Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.
If you’re not signing in from behind a firewall, you will not see this warning. So if you don’t see the system message pop up, don’t worry – that means you are not affected by the change.
