What the fuck,yahell.

[NightTerrors]

Okay, so I was noticing a few problems with y!m in the past few days, lately it's been showing contacts as normal, but when I click on them it shows up as the mobile format. Am I the only one having this particular problem or is anyone else in the same boat with this?

I've tried signing out and back in to correct the problem, even exiting and restarting, but it doesn't help.

It's done something like this before when a contact goes mobile and comes back, it tends to stick in the mobile mode for a bit then switches back to the normal format.

Any ideas on what I can do to try and fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Actually.... its been happening to me too... And to Ach's human.

Only we're having issues like... When i sign in as visible, then go invisi later, people still see me. and vice versa.

also i've been having issues with people IMing me and me not getting their messages...WHILE I AM ONLINE. >>

People call and are like "hey didn't you see what i said" and i'm like "You said something?" The box doesn't even pop up.

Ach's mun switched to trillian... Im not convinced that it works well either, but I ended up uninstalling the freaking thing and re-installing an older version.

I've heard trillian and pigeon are much better...and I think both are compatible with all instant messengers. I'm just too lazy and can't be arsed to get them. I just use aim... and only get on yim when absolutely necessary. It's always been glitchy as hell for me.

Trillian is horrible. I use it on the desktop computer only because Y!M doesn't work at all on it. I hate the bloody thing.

My Y!M has issues with invisibility and eating windows occasionally but I still prefer it to trillian.

Yeah, for a while mine tended to flash when I got a new message then stop after a few seconds or not just show I had new messages at all. I've tried Pigeon,Emma it's not too bad. Perhaps it's time for yahell to start fixing their bugs eh?

That explains why Sam always appears as mobile to me. >.>
As for the eating windows thing. That's happened to me ever since I've downloaded the new Yahoo Messenger. If you double-click on their name, it usually all pops up at once.
I'm going to download the old version now.

Yahoo has randomly just been shutting down on me. The whole process just ceases. Thaaat's a little annoying. I haven't had the visible/invisible problems, I don't think, particularly because I'm normally just invisible, but I have had problems of people not receiving my messages when I'm online.

And, yes. It is true. Trillian is terrible. That is simply that.

I've been having problems ever since I downloaded the new version of Yahoo, too.

I also have issues where, once I log on, Yahoo will sign me out and then back on, then once I go visible, Yahoo will sign me out again, afterward signing me back on. It's annoying.

Same thing's been happening to me. :/

I'm using Y!M 8 because I hate 9 and I haven't had problems like those... When I'm just available, though, people seem to see an exerpt of my friend's blog (if I left a comment), which is weird. But anyways, the only bone I have to pick with Y!M is the difficulty in logging in. It always asks me to try again. And if I save my password, it'll save the OLD one, which, naturally, doesn't work. -.-

[Idony]

Same thing happens to me when I try to log in Same frickin thing.
I don't even wait anymore, I hit Enter 3 times.

I don't have any problems at all. Other than the usual 0.01% chance of YIM not sending a message when it should.

Maybe it's because I'm using an older YIM... (file version 2006.8.2.1)

I tried the newest version of YIM and it didn't even take me a day to hate it and uninstall it. Something to keep in mind - "new" sometimes means "buggy as hell" so I'm not surprised there are some problems.
