Lately I have been getting an eclipse of yahoo screen names I have never seen and know I do not have added on my list or ever accepted their request to add me. What is that about? Can anyone help me out?
Thanks
Alicia
I am also having the same problems as her…
Are you using Yahoo messenger or a chat client? I have been noticing on Yazak (chat client) that these ‘odd’ names appear on my list that I have never seen before and I’ve heard from a few sources that these are the other ‘profile names’ of people that may already be on your list… say you have someone on your list under the name “billy_x2106′ that you added, if he has other profile names, they may show up as well. I’m not sure if this could be the same problem you’ve been having or not, but I know that was the whole deal on my end, lol.
Do you mean they’re popping up with messages real fast too? Maybe you’re getting booted.
If not…then maybe it’s a weird effect of Yahoo! getting/testing Yahoo! Messenger to work along with Microsoft Live! Messenger.
This has been happening a wee while and yahoo are aware of it but to when it gets fixed..is anyones guess.
it is definately a yahoo server issue.
Ghosts in the machines, you can actually see conversations depending upon the server.
Yea, I have noticed this too for a while now.
samehere i beening the samething peopole are getting on my list and i dont know how
It only happens when you have actually entered chat!
i think the network on Yahoo! needs serious work as i think you’re getting other peoples alerts from the chatroom.
I reported this issue to yahoo! but they said they were aware of it.
