While I’m not obsessively checking a chick’s profile, I am having the same problem. Several of my Yahoo! profiles won’t show up and my friends are having the same problem. The issue seems to be with profiles who have a first, middle and last name listed under “Real Name” (though not every profile I have which has 3 names is down, every profile that IS down has 3 names listed). When is Yahoo going to fix this? It’s irritating.
Yeah… looks horrible. They shrunk the picture size, took away the ability to type any character other than 0-Z.
Why do all of Yahoo’s “up”dates seem to make their service worse? :

I would agree with Migs, if you were only talking about ONE ID, but I can almost bet, that if you created a brand new name today, you would have the same problem.
You need to follow the steps in the following post, exactly in order to clean out your system.

Then come back and let us know if it works.
It isn’t that ALL my accounts are defunct– just the four I logged into chat at the same time. I have other accounts that still work fine, and I just created a new one– it works fine as well.

You have overloaded some of the yahoo files, and need to get those cleaned out to get rid of the errors. Good luck.Alright, so… I put aside my profile file to keep my message archives, then deleted everything from Yahoo! and reinstalled it. Nothing changed. All my accounts are still locked. :
Earlier, I was able to sign onto one of the accounts for a few minutes (before I reinstalled), but since chat wasn’t working, I exited Messenger and when I tried again, the account was re-locked.
I don’t think it’s a problem with Messenger files, since the accounts won’t work on YahElite either.
UGH.
I’m having this problem.
Yesterday, I was goofing around and decided to see how many accounts I could log into one chatroom (using both YahElite and Yahoo! Messenger). I got about four different accounts in, then they were all disconnected and locked.
I can still log into Mail/Profiles/My Yahoo using the accounts– everything except Chat and Messenger. I also have other accounts that weren’t affected and still log into Chat fine, so obviously my IP isn’t banned, just the four accounts.
I understand that doing this was probably something to warrant having my accounts locked, but my question is what should I do about it? I e-mailed Yahoo about one of the accounts and they sent me the same form letter they send everyone. It’s been well over 24 hours since the accounts were locked. Will they be unlocked in a few more days? Should I try to contact Yahoo or wait it out? Or is there anything I can do to get my accounts back?
I’d try Wright0209’s suggestion, but I really don’t want to lose the PM conversations I have stored in my message archive.
