I am having problems with my Yahoo 6.0, it runs only for one day, when the next day I restart my computer it does not start (Yahoo 6.0), Neither MultiGold is working, both are acting alike….i m thinking about retrunin back to 5.6, anybody have any suitable solution????? (I have to install the Yahoo daily to keep it working)….
July 20, 2004 at 2:34 am #46137OreoMemberRaza, what OS (windows 98SE, Millenium, XP,etc…) are you running? Have you defragmented and cleaned out your system recently? Have you checked for spyware, trojans, etc…?
July 20, 2004 at 3:43 am #46179MelodeathMemberithis new messenger is still in beta right? WHen is it officially being released?
July 20, 2004 at 5:12 am #46221RazaMemberI am running WindowsXP Pro, and I did not defragmented my disk and as far as cleaning my system is concerned, I dont have a virus cleaner installed as it slows down the system and interrupts a lot,,,,
July 20, 2004 at 1:22 pm #46138OreoMembermelo, the new messenger has been out for most of the summer. Go to the Yahoo! homepage and download it if you like the new features.
Raza, you might want to try to defrag your system to free up some space, also pay attention to any other programs running when you start up your PC that might not be running when Yahoo! decides to work. (There could be a conflict with the programs.) There are spycleaners and Virus protectors that work that you can get from the Internet for free and some of the virus protectors are online so there’s no place they stay on your PC. I have to remember them, so I’ll edit this post in a bit and put them in here:)
EDIT: I couldn’t remember them so I just looked them up using “search” for the site. Here are a couple of them.
http://www.trojanscan.com/
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/Both are free. So, if all else fails try this. I run XP Pro and I’ve never had a problem with 6.0, so my guess is there’s something else on your PC that doesn’t like it for very long. 🙂 I hope one of these solutions works.
July 20, 2004 at 1:40 pm #46224peaceMemberQuote:quote:Originally posted by DaveI have been having problems in the last two weeks with my user room listings in Messenger. For some strange reason they have not refreshed in the last two weeks or so. Does anybody have a possible solution to this frustrating problem.
Running XP Pro (patched and up to date)
Y!Messenger v6 1710I too have noticed that chatrooms are not changing, nor does mine list when I open it. I have sent e-mails to yahoo with little response. Perhaps chat rooms are on the way out.
I also noticed the new messenger is not very user friendly towards chat rooms. Again suports my worse fears.
Altho the new messenger is very pretty andkind of nice to use it is falling short by past standards.
Even after loading all the nice add backs from http://www.shiftthis.net I still seem to have no ability to “invite users to chat” , not the follow user or join user functions. Those all seem to work fine.
The only way I am able to invite users to my room are one at a time via this code, which is typed in the chat room send window.
the code is
/invite username
then hit send
This works fine as long as you spell your buddies handle write and dont mind invite one person at a time.
I do apreciate all the add backs, but do hope that particular function could be restored also.
Time I have and am sure if anyone figures out this it will be an added thing.
I also hope that yahoo continues with the main reason that I have for being on the internet.
hang in there gang…..
PeaceJuly 20, 2004 at 2:38 pm #46115Jeff HesterKeymasterI am currently working on implimentation for the Invite Users to Chat I will post a Update in my Meu Update topic a bit later . At present I am unable to add the Invite To Chat to the Chatroom but I may be able to create it under a new window it all depends how my tests come out later on I will post more updates as they come in. im glad to hear you mention that actually thanks!
July 28, 2004 at 3:31 pm #46154eokorieMemberfor some reason with this version 1710 of yahoo messenger, my Supermode seems to be available behind my router…. hows that possible???
August 1, 2004 at 8:35 am #46223EliteNickMemberWell, until then people you can simply type
/join blah:1
(example)in the chat room 🙂
Or to follow a user quickly:
/follow bobby123
(example)August 3, 2004 at 6:03 pm #46116Jeff HesterKeymasterI am not able to add the Invite User To Chat but I will tell you this ! – it is Yahoo’s Poor lack of Design in their software , still a few bugs and glitches with the Yahoo Messenger Version 6 Design! this is also a reason you are not able to get voice due to yahoo’s lack of design you may want to send your requests to yahoo on this issue. There are probably more hidden features in the Messenger but Yahoo Inc have to fix their design before their email server goes down due to people sending them too many complaints about the issue hehe 🙂
August 10, 2004 at 9:48 pm #46117Jeff HesterKeymasterok let me correct myself * I have this minute completed tests on Invite User To Chat it has now been added to the new Menu Update! which will be available in a hour also.
September 2, 2004 at 1:51 am #46186BilbosLadyMemberIve noticed that None of the yahoo programs have no sounds when I receive an instant messege when the window is in focus. And I cant ever tell when some one messeges me unless I stare at the window lol Why cant they Do like like trillian does?
September 23, 2004 at 11:44 pm #46226magistickMemberI love Yahoo IM!!! the new one of course…:p
October 2, 2004 at 3:33 am #46227missbee33061MemberI like the new yahoo messenger. I can listen to launchcast when I want. Its true about the skins, with the old version the skins were better. I like Betty Boop and there are no new skins of Betty for the new messenger. I also like the avatar and the audibles.
October 2, 2004 at 3:44 am #46139OreoMemberMissbee, welcome to BigBlueBall. I’m sure you’ll like it here and thanks for contributing! Make sure that if you need to change something you use that little icon that looks like a pencil and paper next to the time and date stamp of your post. It’s the edit button, that way you won’t have to make an extra post. It keeps our forums clean and it helps if you make little spelling errors or if you forget to put something in, you can add it. (I love edit, especially since I have butterfingers when typing…I like to blame it on the keyboard…the letters are in the wrong place!). Thanks for understanding. 🙂
