YmLite is a decent program, I suppose, but does require some adjusting before one is “boot-proof” .

A program that runs well “out of the box” is YahElite, found at http://yahelite.org As with the other chat clients, to foil booters, YahElite must be used in the ‘YCHT’ protocol.

YahElite may not be as simple as some of the other clients, but if you take a bit of time to explore it’s functions, I believe you’ll be pleased by it’s configurability. ( And if it were a pay program, you can be sure I’d be asking David for royalties for all the plugs I’ve given him over the years. 😉 )

Actually you can use yahelite in YMSG & not get booted by restricting PM’s to friends only.
This also allows you to PM people without the problems which occur using YCHT.
You must ensure that you set the prefs to allow messages from friends only…also make sure that “popup a PM box on incoming messages is unchecked”…place a tick in the box that says “put all rejected PM’s in the reject bar”
This makes yahelite unbootable at present.
To take care of voice laggs simply download VCGUARD from here http://www.shinkaiho.com/vcguard/ & follow its installation instructions to become imune to voice laggs in rooms.<–*NOTE* ONLY WORKS WITH YAHELITE & DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY OTHER CHAT CLIENTS AS YET!!
You will then be TOTALLY UNBOOTABLE from yahoo chat.
following these instructions will give you the full functionality of yahoo messenger without the idiots of yahoo affecting you.
if you have any problems you can Im me on yahoo under the id leprechaun ( i suggest you post a message to me in the chat room first )
