HatedJealousy – Are you a ‘Yahoo Messenger Advisor’ at BigBlueBall ?
Because of the mismatch of versions with my friend in Australia, I have uninstalled Yahoo7 as thoroughly as I could (Add/Remove programs; manual deletion after Searching on ‘Yahoo’ AND manual deletion from Registry, after searching on ‘Yahoo’) and I installed Vesrion 6 (US). I do not know if it has solved my inability to exchange pictures and microphone output within Australia, but it does appear to have enabled me to send messages even if 147 characters were allowed, AND I have been able to get responses from the Filipino mobile phone. So I do not know what caused my problems, but reverting to an earlier version appears to have solved them.
Thanks for your interest and hints.The two operating systems on this phone number are WinMe and Win Xp.
The 3rd party who has NO problems uses WinXP.The party with whom I can not exchange files or speak has Win98SE.
“why you can’t send the same amount as others “
With all due respect that is NOT my problem. The problem is that if Yahoo allows me 147 characters, it will in fact send NONE.Dear perseverent hatedjealousy
My other two problems with Yahoo are the following :
From time to time the splashscreen has an icon for webcam which normally soon changes to an icon for mobile. Sometimes the webcam icon does not change to an icon for mobile, so then I do NOT get access at all to even the trouble-plagued service.Up until the middle of February this year, I could send messages from my PC to a mobile in the Philippines; and the Filipino could send messages from his mobile to Yahoo on my PC in Australia. Since middle February, I can not receive the messages sent from his mobile. It seems to be a problem with my phone number, because another PC on this same home phone number, but with a different operating system and different version of Yahoo can also not receive those messages from the Filipino’s mobile. Yet a third PC on a different phone number can both send to and receive from the same Filipino’s mobile.
Actually, there are yet another two issues. My attempts to send picture files to and receive them from another PC in Australia fail – Yahoo says it’s because our Yahoo!Messenger versions are different. The same explanation and failed trial goes for using the microphone on our 2 PCs for speaking to each other. My version is 7 and the other is 6. [Versions of Asian Yahoo!Messenger]
“Why not just use the chikka instead?” What does that mean ?
I have reasons that involve other people, for wanting to get Yahoo operating again as it should and can – and has. Incidentally, the number of characters that Yahoo allows to be sent from a PC depends on the PC – two others doing the same thing are allowed 149 and 150 – (with success). I also seem unable to focus the attention of Yahoo on this symptom of my problem.I have two other different hurdles in Yahoo to overcome, for whch I would also like solutions. I’ll tell you if you ask me.
I DO appreciate your perseverence in trying to help Hatedjealousy, but I HAVE to state and restate the facts that are relevant. You are again focussing on the size of the message that the other PC might be sending. The issue is NOT how much we try to send, but how much is allowed at the outset. If it is 146, then a message of appropriate size gets through. If it is 147, then no matter how small the message, I am told that an otherwise accessible number ‘is not with our messaging partners’. The symptom of my problem STARTS with the announcement that I can send 147 characters.
I do know the carrier for that mobile phone – it is NOT one of the ones you mention. However, that seems irrelevant as I can contact the # successfully EXCEPT when Yahoo tells me I am allowed 147 characters – and then all other contacts are equally blocked. This does NOT happen to another PC that is also in frequent contact with that mobile phone.
Thanks Hatedjealousy
You appear to have missed the point of my question – I have NO wish to send more than 146 characters at a time. Yahoo tells me at the outset how many I am allowed to send – it is usually 146, and then things proceed successfully. But when yahoo says that I can send 147, and I go ahead and try to send even just 1, it will tell me that the number I am sending to is not with one of Yahoo’s Messaging Partners – even though I can successfully send to that same phone number when Yahoo says that 146 are allowed.
