MemberIs there such a thing as a new buddy list capable of telling you exactly where someone is, who they are talking to,and if they have more than one screen name,it tells you what it is. Maybe something along these lines? I got a message saying there was a way to do it. Anyone have any clue as to any type of programs that could do this?

MemberThough I don’t believe this actually works this is the offline i received this morning. Little known Yahoo information…………Right click on group name send a message. Copy this blurb and send this message to all the people in this group. If you send this message to10 people,a new type of buddy list will appear after you send it! This new buddy list tells you exactly where someone is, who they are talking to,and if they have more than one screen name,it tells you what it is………..Have Fun

MemberThey are called pm’s because they are private messages, private meaning Yahoo! wants them to stay private. On messenger yes you can see if people are in game rooms if they are on your friends list, and i think on java you can see if someone on your friends list is in a chat room or not, so i’ve heard. Yes there was a program that you could use to find out someones aliases on their account if they were online, but Yahoo! patched it, cause a lot of people was using it. A lot of times when u get silly group messages they have been floating around for a while, never heard of this one b4. The most commonest one is the one saying, “Yahoo! is gonna start charging people to be able to use messenger, if you send this to 20 people it will be free!!!” blah blah blah. A friend of mine sent me that one the other day, i yelled at her pretty good. A lot of times if someone has another alias, when the persons main id signs offline, and it shows at the bottom right of your screen, it will also show the alias signing off. This is very common.

MemberI didn’t think there were any programs out there that were capable of this. Thanks for your reply.

MemberI got a message from a buddy on my buddy list who said he did this and it works – this was today – September 29, 2003. The message was much the same as Marauder692u’s message of June 12. Anyone know if this is really a program out there? I don’t really like the idea of everyone knowing where I am and who I am chatting with, etc. etc. Appreciate any input on this. Thanks. UPDATE: Never mind – I went to Freddy’s Utilities Plus and found the answer – this is a Yahoo Hoax – Rumour 2 at http://www.freddys-utilities.co.uk/yhoax.php
