now, here’s one for the books…
either yahoo have finally fixed it, or…
Installed XP SP3 yesterday, went out, left the ‘pooter completely off, even no supply…
may have a flat BIOS battery, but when i came home and powered up, had to reset all my favourite BIOS settings, cos it had reverted to defaults, but in the process, i inadvertently set the system clock 10 mins fast..
saved, rebooted and computed happily all evening, WITH NARY A SINGLE YAHOO DISCONNECT!
NOT ONE!!
possible there’s a thing in the time disparity?
i also made a point of going and turning off Auto Updates of time and date…
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
observation: Ordinary messy is so unstable at times, i have resorted to using a different account, on a different PC, using the Web Messy
It’s more stable, but when it DOES have a ‘disconnect’ it actually gives me a message that ‘ have been signed out because have signed in on a different computer’
Who or What is doing the signing on?
well now…
things like servers dont break on their own, some has been messin with em…a disgruntled ex eployee?
a legacy of microsnots attempted raid?
too many ads and bots?
too many booters?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Oh, and (mebbe it dont belong in this thread, but…)
When I visit the message boards, and wish to post a message, I notice that if I forget to capitalise a word, and go back to edit, I cant type the appropriate capital, use the Del key to remove the offending lowercase, I have to then Bksp to get rid of it!
Whatthe?
patndoris, thats what i was afraid of, just ride it out…
The surf cant last forever though…
Don’t we have something like a ‘product not fit for sale’ situation, even tho its free? surely yahoo have SOME obligations to meet a certain minimum standard of service? The product is NOT delivering what it is advertising it can…
Now, in the last few days since the above post, sound/voice has become techy…
I would REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALY like it if someone can explain exactly HOW one can be so bad, (or whatever) that one is “… not authorised to join the conference” Authorised? Unauthorised? Ok, maybe it is just lazy programming, but…
OK, here’s my take, i noted the dates on the posts above, so maybe this is new…
having massive problems with yahoo disconnects
started about a month or so ago, when on an otherwise reliable, stable, fast DSL connection, in Australia, using the aussie Yahoo!7 version 8.1. Desktop PC, XP-SP2
at certain times of the day, it seems stable, maybe disconnects once an hour, give or take, but then later, especially evenings local time, Whammo!
Disconnects as fast as every few minutes, sometimes even a few seconds, before even completing the relogin process
then, ready to travel, using a different computer, laptop, Vista OS, still on the DSL, problem continues, no aparrent let-up. travel and use wireless and the Web version, still get the droputs, always reconnecting fairly quick..
Arrive in manila, philippines, more DSL, obviously diff server, but…
laptop, and the bullshyte continues…reassemble the desktop PC and it dont let up.
Same as before, worse in the evenings. Stay out of chatrooms, mehh, maybe a fraction less, stay invisible, maybe a touch less, but overall, Bah humbug!!!
Discussions in chatrooms reveals the problem is widespread, aussie users, americans, canadians (But never those pesky damned Indians, lol)
often i notice if i am in a PM box, the text seems to stop tranferring a few moments before the dropout, and reconnecting sometimes doesnt seem to re-establish the transfer, altho the PM box stays open, only rooms and webcams drop out.
Clients drop out too, including Yahelite
I also use the Yahoo News message Boards, with a different ID, and they too, are plagued by the same problem
I have sent a message to yahoo, using their online feedback, but not even an auto-reply, they are stonewalling
and, in spite of all this, and that stupid damned Captcha nonsense, the bots keep growing…
Siggghhh…
What sayest thou, Venom?
