Does anyone know prior to the new release of Yahoo messenger….8.0
that if you were chatting with someone, could that person get your IP or know where you were located during chat.The only way someone can get your IP using Yahoo Messenger is by using
P2P features. Call Feature, File Transfer, Photo Share, ect. You can’t get
someones IP in chat. As for someone knowing what chat room you are in
yahoo has removed the Go To User function. So unless you tell them or
unless someone that is in the room you are in tells someone else, the
answer is no. ( That as of right now, this could change later down the road )That’s not entirely true.
I use Gaim (2.00 beta 3) and some of the Yahoo contacts I chat to are somehow broadcasting their IP address freely through their Messenger, which Gaim can pick up and displays on the “get user info”. Although often it is their internal address which is useless.
So theoretically, yes it would be possible in *some* cases.Yahoo! on occasion will leave pm’s between “buddies” only go p2p
But they must actually answer your pm in the first place for this to happen.
This does not happen to non buddy pm’s.
And if your friend is looking for your ip, you really think they are your friend?
