I have been using Yahoo Messenger for some time now to send instant messages and to chat with friends. Before, it was so easy for me to join a room. The service is a few buttons away. Now I can not join a room and I receive notice that somewhat read like ‘you were signed out because you signed in on a different computer’. Then I will be disconnected. Honestly, I do not know what that means. My attempts to join rooms lately are always unsuccessful. Not much of a bother to me though, but I am wondering what could be the problem. Is it with the new YM with voice chat features? Probably not, because I have been experiencing this months before I downloaded the new version.
It is my habit also to reread exchange of messages with my chat friends and I find it wonderful that YM has this message archive. However, I chatted with a friend last Sunday and thought of rereading the exchange of messages. The event was not recorded and that particular date was not recorded. What a waste, I thought. Then I checked if I had disabled the function. I did not. So frustrating. That was one funny and warm chat, and I regret that it got lost.
Because of this, I opted to change my password. Now, I am experiencing more frequent disconnections. What is wrong with YM ?!?
Good thing that I still have blogging (which I would prefer over chatting). That makes me a blog addict, isn’t it? :-)
try uninstalling yahoo and reinstalling it again. :) might work.
ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't fall victim to a hacker. Mahrgil (another blogger), has a post about YM hacking sa kanyang blog. Check out this link from his post....

If that happened to me, I might have reformatted my hard disk already. Haha. The suggestion of Mayo sounds logical. Go, try it.
ReplyDeletei hope you didnt fall victim to YM hacking. i heard of a blogger (mahrgil) who was victimized. same thing happened to him, he was logged out because apparently, he "logged on" on a different computer. tapos the hacker was able to change his pw pa.
ReplyDeleteako ATe BIng hindi marunong mag YM he he
ReplyDeletemadalas din mangyari sa akin yan Bing. I thought I was being hacked also pero parang hindi naman since sometimes me lalabas pa na error encountered (di ko na matandaan kung ano) that will terminate the program and asking if i want to send or not...
ReplyDeletengek ano naman kaya ang i-hack sa akin ano? pero nakakainis lang dahil palagi akong nadidisconnect...
I used to be like that too. what i did was unistall yahoo in my computer, ran an updated virus checker, then left it for a day. I re-installed YM the next day and the bloody thing just ran smoothly. Oh yeah, warning: I lost my archives doing that.
ReplyDeleteyou're not blog addict. You're just blogging -inclined. :)
hi, mayo. will try that. thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleterhada, katakot naman yun. can still access pa rin naman with my pw.
will try it, nico ;-)
try MSN, jane. :-)
it's so infuriating, beth,to be disconnected! lalo na pag kausap mo ang isa sa paborito mong kachat he he
di pa ba blog addict, rey. will try your suggestions, folks. thanks.
In YM, there are people who they call as booters. They are people who for the sake of fun or whatever, boots people out during a chat session.
ReplyDeleteSome of my friends use a tunnelling software to avoid the booters.
The problem with the latest YM 8 is that it works best for the licensed XP SP2 else you will have this problem.
so, booters are what they are called, huh? i find it hard understanding what an XP SP2 is, myepinoy.
ReplyDeleteyhe dsame pala tayo....who ever know how to down lod boot plss tel me i ned it! :))
ReplyDeletehello ninang! :D i would suggest na mag change ka ng password using a different computer, yung malinis, 'you were signed out because you signed in on a different computer' means someone or some script is trying to log in using your account. Your computer might be infected. Try checking for virus/worms or some malicious scripts on your pc possible kasi na may key logger yung pc.
ReplyDeletehi, brixie, thanks for dropping by. but i almost didnt get what you're trying to say. ;-P
ReplyDeletei tried to check using adaware, glenny. i cant find a computer na malinis ha ha eneweiz, am not much of a chatter now but i do regular checks to see if there are mssgs for me. thanks for the info, inaanak :-)
