Does netlab.cz’s Yahoo transport allow you to register at the first place ? It get the ‘Fetching registration form for yahoo.netlab.cz’ alert, but no response since then 🙁
I tried this configuration on Gaim:
Protocol: Jabber
Screen Name:
Server: njs.netlab.cz (or shud i be specifying yahoo.netlab.cz here ? but it does’nt seem to connect otherwise)
Resource: Yahoo
Password:
Port: 5222
Connect Server: yahoo.netlab.czFor this config, Gaim seems to register and logon (!) but does’nt retrieve my buddy list or anything. Neither does my yahoo screen name show up online from my other id. My guess is, its trying to logon to the jabber server using my yahoo screen name. But if I flip the Connect Server and the Server field values, it just shows as disconnected from the server.
narayananMemberSigning up on Live Ideas and receiving an invite does work, but getting it the next day is kind of a coincidence.
One thing I noted (maybe another coincidence), if you start using WLM you get invited to Live Mail in a few days. Both me and my friend in Germany had similar experiences. Although he was a bit late to receive them.
narayananMemberI happened to Saw 2 earlier, the storyline was pretty novel compared to the usual horror stories, except for the Eric-Jigsaw conversation it was more of violence than strategy.
In comparison Saw 1 was mind blowing, it was just one full of strategies and just one scene of blood. The sequel did’nt live upto that.
PS: Someguy, are you an audio enthusiast ?
narayananMemberI had the same problem again while I posted in the same thread. But guess what, I experimented with Opera 8.5 and it posted on the very first attempt. IE6 and Firefox 1.5 got on my nerves attempting to post.
narayananMemberI happened to connect to ursine.ca’s Yahoo transport thro’ Gaim, happened to be that they dont have their Yahoo transport working.
While searching I found some Linux packages for Jabber’s Yahoo transport. Would that mean I can connect to yahoo using my local machine?
One good thing I note about using MSN using PSI (thro Jabber MSN transport) is that I can see when the contact last changed status. Bad thing, it shows my contact offline as I initiate a conversation :-s
One big question I have is, other than having all contacts in one, is there any advantage using it this way? can I conference with a MSN and GTalk contact at on one window (me acting as a bridge through this transport thingie) ?
narayananMemberIts been the other way around for me, I’ve met ppl thro’ IM before I met them in person.
narayananMemberI tried this today, the MSN transport seems working fine (importing contacts as well as talking with other MSN buddies) :). Yahoo transport, just indicates its connecting but does’nt even import the buddy list. Has anyone tried through other Jabber networks
narayananMemberQuote:What internet browser are you using?Firefox 1.5 . Shall try in Opera/IE and update this post.
Quote:Are you sure you’re logged into the forums when you post?Ofcourse, I am.
Quote:Try pressing “Alt + S” instead of hitting submitthat does’nt work either 🙁
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE:Before I press Submit or Alt-S
After I press submit/Alt-S
As soon as I press submit/Alt-S I note the left end of my taskbar trying to show some Javascript error. Its too instantaneous I could’nt note whats happening or catch a screeshot of it.

UPDATE 2:I made IE to show all script errors and this is what I got:
I pressed ok now, and it allowed me to post the message!
narayananMemberCreate a group with similar contacts, move them to that group and collapse the view. You would’nt see the contact unless you expand the view for that group 😉
narayananMemberI’ve been trying to add a comment on the same Connect to Gtalk article. After I submit, I get an empty reply box without my message being posted on the message history below.
narayananMemberI too like using Gaim when my usage is going to be sending text based messages or when am on my Linux box.
Perhaps could be a sub-forum under Alternative IM clients.
narayananMemberSubmit reply does’nt work either for me :(. Are the news comments being moderated ?
narayananMemberIf am understanding your question correctly, you want to display some alias you’ve kept for that contact and would like that to be displayed on the title bar and dont want the Yahoo Id of whom ur talking to be displayed. right?
I dont remember of anyway the official Yahoo Messenger program (or any addon that would let you tweak that) would let you do it. I remember Trillian and Gaim would allow you to do that.
narayananMemberDepends on the availability of keyboard shortcuts to jump inbetween IM tabs like a browser tab jump in Firefox. If not I’d prefer to use induvidual IM windows even though it makes my desktop look a bit ugly
narayananMemberUsed to be a 2-4’er. But nowadays settled down for one at a time.
