You need two people to build the room.
– Both log in to Yahoo Chat in visible mode.
– Person 1 goes to a yahoo group and enters the group chat by clicking ‘Chat’ on the left hand side.
– When person 1 is in the group chat room, person 2 does a ‘Goto’ or ‘Follow’, (depends what chat client they are using) , to person 1. This makes a normal Yahoo User-room.
– Person 1 can leave the group chat now and does a ‘Goto’ or ‘Follow’ to person 2.
– Both are now in the User-room and anyone can be invited or ‘Goto’/’Follow’ to the room.
Of course, no one can see that the room exists so …….
We tell our friends where we are by putting it in our status message and they can all see and do a ‘Goto’ or ‘Follow’. If you then put this in your room favourites, you can return to the room so long as it is open.
If you have a Yahoo group, use that to start the room because the name of the room is the same as the group.
ie ….. *g.mygroup:1
It works well for us.
(You could just use the room in the Yahoo Group but it isnt quite the same).
Have fun.
Liquid Explosion wrote:Where exactly did you hear this?The rooms are not gone, just hidden. If you have the room on your favourites list, you can simply click it to join. Chances are you’ll be the only one there though unless your friends who also used the room have it also. Another way is to simply make the room as usual and let your friends know by putting the room name as your status message, and then they can follow you to the room.
If you use Yahelite, you can see the available user created rooms by clicking F5, then click ‘get the list of Yahoo rooms’, then down the bottom of the first column click *special*, then enter 0, then hit ‘enter’. All available user rooms will be loaded in order of how many are in the room at the time. They are not in category order.

Yahelite has the feature.

Try what i did in the post above.
I too signed in to Yahoo messenger today and was logged off after about 2 minutes. Upon retrying, it said my password/ID was wrong. I logged into yahoo mail ok, went to my account, changed my password and tried again. Same thing happened, it said wrong password/ID.
I can get to Yahoo email ok, and my Yahoo Groups too, but not messenger. It appears someone is blocking ID’s from messenger somehow.
If I find a way in to messenger, I’ll let you all know. Any advice is appreciated.
Edit:
I ran Spybot-Search & Destroy and deleted my cookies and Temporary Internet Files. I then went to Yahoo Messenger ‘Help’ and did this …
Why I am receiving the account locked or invalid cookies error?Please sign in using the following URL:
After successfully signing in to your account, try Messenger again. You should be all set.
……….
I signed in under invisible mode successfully !! Been 5 minutes so far and its still ok.
Hope this helps others, I hope it stays ok for me too 😀
Seeing as how the account was deleted in 2003, there is a good chance that you’ll be able to re-register the same ID.
Just go to the sign up page for yahoo and enter the ID in the box on the form and click ‘check availability’.
You should be able to transfer the archives to the folder and read them.There are free programs around also, try googling.
I have seen the ‘online’ lit up on a persons profile for weeks, knowing 100% that have not come online. Once I went away on holidays and my friends told that on my profile, ‘online’ was showing as online the whole time.
As a reminder to myself as to if I am invisble or not, I added myself to my own messenger list, if my ID is showing I know that I am visible, if not showing then I know i am invisible.

How can you confirm lots of ID’s are now available, compared to any other time of year on Yahoo?Just because you managed to re-register an ID you lost, for breaking the Yahoo! terms of service, doesn’t mean other terms of service breakers will now be able to re-register.
Proof/ evidence is lacking here. Where are all the other people who have also got ID’s back, deactivated a year ago? You were just in luck, in my humble opinion.
n3td3v,
Did I mention anywhere that lots of ID’s are now available? NO.
Did I suggest that there are more ID’s available now that at any other time of year ? NO
I didn’t manage to re-register an ID I ‘lost’, as you say. What happened is that I managed to re- register a number of ID’s of mine that were deactivated about 12 months ago by Yahoo!
Your allegation that I broke Yahoo’s Terms of Service is not only unfounded but taken as a personal attack on myself.
For addition to your limited knowledge of my circumstances, my ID was falsely reported to Yahoo as doing something to break the Terms of Service. In this case and many others like this, Yahoo does not follow up to check out the allegations, but simply de-activates the ID. This happened to 3 successive ID’s of mine within 2 months. I have re-activated them all. This not only happened to me but a number of other people I know online. We have all reactivated our ID’s that were de-activated. The person who did this to us is known and has been reported to Yahoo.
As the other people, my friends, who have regained their ID’s are not members of BigBlueBall, it is obvious to the casual observer that they would not post here to share their good fortune in regaining their original ID’s. The fact that you feel the need for someone to collaborate my post here suggests you believe I am lying. Is everyones good news such a bad thing for you?
As for your ‘humble opinion’, it is indeed just that … humble.
I feel sorry that you are so offended and feel the need to attack me. I am sure my good luck story and the efforts that I go to share this with the members here is appreciated by many.
I hope your life improves and something positive happens for you sometime soon.
Cheers.

We are aware that it is not something new to those of us who have been around for a while. There are many others who are not aware that Yahoo recycles used ID’s, and to them this is new.
As there were a lot of ID deactivations at the time I lost mine, it is timely to let those who posted in this thread know that the ID’s are now available.
It is very easy to think that everyone else knows these things, but it’s always something new to someone. So long as there are people willing to listen, its always good to inform.
Cheers.
Its been 12 months since my original yahoo accounts were deactivated.
As of early December 2004, Yahoo have released the deactivated ID’s and I have reclaimed mine. After re-registering my ID and activating the email, the Yahoo Groups that I had previously owned were back in my control, and those I belonged to were listed under ‘My Groups’. Some of my groups had been deleted though. The buddy list was naturally empty as it was like registering a new ID for messenger.
If you had your ID deativated around 12 months ago, try registering it now. You may get lucky like I did and get it back before someone else registers it.
Good luck.
It only happens with this one person’s ID.
It never shows as online with either of the 2 Buddy Spy programs I have, even though the person is clearly showing on my messenger list and I am talking to them. Every other ID I have on Buddy Spy shows as online at sometime, even if wrongly.
Still stumped.
I have a friend who when online and showing as online on the yahoo messenger list, doesnt show as online on the Buddy Spy.
I did once get the ID to show as online, but it also showed everyone else as online so couldnt tell which were false readings.
I have tried all combinations. I get the same result on the previous Buddy Spy version also with this persons ID. Could this maybe be because the person logged on invisible ? Or is it just Yahoo. Or has this person worked out a way to beat Buddy Spy.
Any suggestions?
I fell for this even after seeing and hearing all the alarm bells. I even entered my ID and password in the fake login page on the geocities site. After I did that, some crud page opened and I realised my mistake.
Luckily, I went immediately to my yahoo account and changed my password and logged out. I then logged in and changed it again to be sure. 🙂
(I also deleted all my yahoo archives as someone suggested it might help because there might be something in there.)
If I hadnt of moved fast, I would have lost my ID. whew!
Great program. Thank you.
I have one problem and that is the saving of the list of ID’s that I enter. I right click and then click ‘save’ and it asks me where to save etc. I can enter a file name but not a file type. The file type area is blank with no options. The file gets saved to where I want it, but it has no file extension.
Thanks for any advice.
Edit: Its ok, I worked it out
Ok, I tried this program and can’t really see that it does anything extra that cant be done in MSN itself. Please tell me if I am missing something.
What would be really good is to be able to remove people from your list completely. Even those that havent removed you from theirs. Those you have blocked and dont want.
