When you make a new group and move a contact to that group the
messenger sends a packet to the Yahoo Server telling it that you
moved that contact from the group it was in to the new group.
So the next time you login, messenger will know to make the new
group that you made and what names are in those group/s.The Packet for moving someone to a different group has the following info.
1. Your Username
2. The Name you are moving
3. The group the name that is being moved from
4 The group the name that is being moved toNow when you login at some point the messenger gets a Packet with the following info.
1. The Name of the Group
2. A list of the names in that group
3. If you have more then one group it will get each group name and each list
4. The Groups and Names are added to you messenger listI don’t believe there is a limit on how many groups can added. Yahoo does not say there is a limit, they only say there is a limit on how many people can be added to your list which is 300. ( This is due to the fact your buddy list is stored on the Yahoo Server. )
You say that you tried to move a name to a group you made and it didn’t move. This could be caused if the messenger didn’t send the packet telling it which name to move from what group to which group. Or the messenger did send the packet but the Yahoo Server never got it. ( Could be due to an internet connection problem or the Yahoo Server was down )
As for the problem of buddy list showing in their old group/s. This again could be cause by the Yahoo Server not saving or getting the packet/s with the changes that you made. If the server does not save your changes it will always load the old list it had saved before you tried to make the changes.
There might be a limit, as I said Yahoo does not say there is one but you never know with them. lol
hii…..wat about the prb related to text nt appearing in the IM windw aftr tryin to move frnd frm one group to othr (though i cd buzz,clik etc)…isnt it more peculiar ?? plzz gv a solution…
thx.Lots of people lose text in PM’s and Chat. Its either a connection problem or for some reason the Yahoo Server is not sending the packets properly. There is nothing you can fix unless its a connection problem on your end. Other then that its a problem with the server and yahoo would have to fix it on their end.
