I have SBC Yahoo as my ISP and one would THINK that things would work properly with messenger, but no, of course not. When I sign in it connects me to my messenger account that shows I’m with SBC global (Id example: me@sbcglobal.net would be my id rather than mariettelarkin) and if I want to connect to one of my ordinary yahoo ids I have to log out of my yahoo browser completely. Is anyone else having this problem? Its a royal pain in the patootie.
It’s not really a problem, its how things work. As long as your logged in with the SBC Yahoo! Browser you are automatically logged in to everything else, thus, you are automatically logged in with your messenger. And because your automatically logged in with the SBC Yahoo! Browser, you cannot be signed in with 2 accounts at the same time. (I have SBC Yahoo! and have had this happen to me before)
This is how all ISP browsers work. For example, if you use the MSN browser and you are logged in, you must login with your MSN account on your messenger.
i have sbc also and have played w/ it a lil bit and found that if you use the older sbc browser you can log on to your sbc names to like mail or games and also have a reguler yahoo account loged in to messenger and it work fine w/o loging you out of messenger and logging you in to your sbc name. also w/ the older sbc software you can make sbc names with multi _ . – or all 3 back to back to make names like n_-__a_-..m.–_e@sbc… I dont know bout the newer sbc software tho I didnt like it for the same reasons you have posted. its a pain in the ol you know what!!!
oh yea I forgot to say that I DONT use sbc messenger I only use yahoo messenger!! and the old sbc browser and the software to make the modem run!!
