Ok, I am mad at messenger right now. When I log into ymesg protocol everytime I type, the text takes around 10 or so seconds to show up in chat. It does that all the time. Even in the chat clients, so when Iam bored of my text lagging, I log into ycht and chat2 protocals fine fine but, my text disappers. Its been going on for a while, and iam not the only one having the problem right now. Also I noticed that people are having problems with pms, viewing webcams, gettinv voice, ect. The list goes on forever. So whats up? Is this yahoos doing, or is it just me and a few chatters? Trust me this has been happing since like Augest. Well, If anyone knows anything bout this let me know alright? Well got to go its 1:30 am here right now so iam out. Btw they should rename it Yahell already.

Because of that it is also a study in patience and or frustration. When you look at the big picture of all the messenger features and that they are offered in a range of languages, it is remarkable that overall things work pretty well. Factor in all the script kiddies who are continually tring to take Yahoo down and you might begin to see the scope of what Yahoo has to deal with beyond just the challenge of keeping the english based software up and running.
If you get to the point of calling it Yahell, perhaps it is time to go for a walk, or out with friends in real life.
Open your ears/eyes when you are in the chat rooms, all the problems you describe are happening to many chatters.
The lag you describe seems to get worse during peak user times, which would make one think Yahoo’s servers are getting stressed. When you use ycht and chat2 protocols, it is an illusion that your text is being posted quicker. You see your posts more quickly, but other chatters see your posts at the same time reguardless of which protocol you are using.
To understand your text disappearing, look at your posting habits. Ycht and chat2 protocols are the least tolerant of chatters rapidly posting text. Also Yahoo does not seem to like fonts with complex blends and attributes like italicized, text bans seem to occure more quickly to chatters who use blends. Think about how bots post. Many bots in the past put out short bursts of text and often used many colors to get people’s attention. Maybe Yahoo is trying to block the bots…

Well, I been off yahoo for a few days n when I come back, I seem to get booted by someone. Hmm. I didnt do anything to make someone boot me werid. Well, Lets just hope that yahoo gets over this lil problems. Well, Its late time for me to turn it, Later.. 😎

November 17, 2004 at 5:13 pm #104143Son_Of_SpardaMemberWell, From what I hear, text has been disappering do to yahoo being ****ed but they are back up to speed for now. It seems for the most part, YCHT protocal was down for a while, For an unknown reason. So, now that YCHT protocal is back up u sill will experiance lag and such. dont worry thou its been going on for a while. One of the chat clients probley noone heard of is YahEh. It logs into the YCHT and MESG protocals, But Matt, the creator of the complex chat client, made it to where it only logs in mesg now to counterattack the text lag and everything else. The site for YahEh is http://www.yaheh.org. Anyways, most of the problems are resolved but there is sill a hell lot of probelms.
