Ok, here’s a question for you old time Yahoo Messenger users. Way back in the day, there used to be a way to ghost in a room. Which has a slightly different meaning as the current chat clients use today, but in essence means that your name shows in the room without ears, but you are connected to the voice server and can hear, and type.
Now we were having a conversation about back in the day, and someone brought this up, and none of us could remember how to do it.
My recollection of it is as follows:
right click on someones name that is not online. click on join user in chat, this will pop up with a chat error screen, and it will kick you out of the room you are in with the line in red “you have been logged off chat, please log back into the room”, when you go back into the room click voice off and on, and it should connect you back to the voice server, but show you has not having ears in the room.
Anyone remember how this was done? Yes I know the chat clients do the true ghosting, but we were having a laugh about it, and couldn’t remember how it was done.
Thought I’d come here and ask.

well before yahoo patched it due to the y! tunnel exploit, you could log in any name into voice.
Thats how I did it.
That brings up a good question…. what exactly does Ytunnel’s “use alternative voice connection” do? I originally thought it just forced the used of TCP instead of UDP but that appears to be false.
The reason I ask is that I would like to be able to help those that constantly have the loss of voice issue but dont have ytunnel.
Any clues?

Dan, not entirely sure, unless it has written servers to connect to. However there are some good programs that help you stay connected to the voice server.
If you do a search for “stay connected” or something I’ve seen programs and actually have one that forces a voice connection.
Can’t remember the name of the darn thing as I’m not on that computer, but they are out there.
