CHAT2 (DHTML) – This is one of Yahoo!’s chat protocals.

The thing is inorder to not be booted 90% of the time, you need to be on that protocal or YCHT (another protocal). But when your on Yahoo Messenger you are automatically on the YMSG12 Protocal.

If your like me you don’t like to mess with YTunnel or Chat Clients. So what you would need to do inorder to be on Chat2 but still on messenger is switch your settings to firewall.

What I mean by this is – got to your Messenger, select
LOGIN | Preferences | Connection. Then simply tick
“Firewall with no proxies”. Hit OK and log back in.

Now… like any method of antibooting, there is a drawback, you can’t expect to get all of Yahoo!’s features and still not be booted.
The drawback is that you cannot have Voice or Webcam. Sorry.
Also, there will be some lag if you are on a slower (Dial-up) connection; your window might stop displaying the chatroom text, or you may have to log in and out of your messenger a few times to get a room list or enter a room. BUT!! you usually (90%) wont get booted.

There IS a method to get voice using a Vox, and logging it in through YCHT, but YOU have to do some work tooo! 😛 So I will let you find that out on your own. Thats the only way to learn.

Now… if you do as i showed you and you Preferences and do the following, you will help yourself further to not be booted:
-Messeges: Min. the Msg’s to the Taskbar
-Show the msg’s at the bottom right of the screen
-Msg’s are show in a single IM box.
– Untick enable IM inv.

-File Transfer: Never Accept files from anyone and Never allow other to download from me

-Chat: Ignore Chat Invitations
-If you like and you think it might help, go ahead and Use Jeff and Dave’s word filters and set your word filter to STRONG.

-Privacy: Ignore anyone who is not on my Friends List (you wont get PM’s from people whom you dont have added)

That’s it, i was reluctant to post this at first but, i know this will help alot of you, and what tha hell… Have fun, and its only chat. 🙂 later
