Yesterday I was being booted in a chat room, so I decided to bring in a few extra usernames. I was also playing chess in yahoo games. Then, in all of my chat windows, it says the “You Have Been Logged off Chat” thing in the bold red letters. I close all of the copies of yahoo but my main account, and try to relogin. It says Invalid Password. I created a new username until I get the other one back, and my friends tell me that it shows my “banned account” as online, and they tell me it has this status: Yahoo! Games – Amateur’s Room (or something like that) I can still log on to play yahoo games and mail, I just can’t use the messenger. Am I banned for life? 🙁 What’s going on?? I’ve had this account for 5 years, and it has 5 alias’s that I use all the time. I won’t rest until I have it back.
Thanks
Generally, Yahoo! will allow multiple connections for different usernames.
It all depends upon timing intervals of when the name is logged on.
This is due to Account Crackers.
After so many attemps from an IP it will ban you(25 I think)
Wait 12-48 hours, if that still doesnt work, please re-post w/ an up to date of what is happening.
I was able to sign in today. I think the reason it wasnt unlocked sooner is that I tried to log in several times a day. I decided to leave it alone for 24 hours, and it workerd. Oh.. UnSaKreD, it was 8 attempts the last time I checked (a while). When did it change?
Thanks for the help.
