YAHOO!! or YAHELL??

YAHOO!! or YAHELL?? Photo

I was just wondering...

Are any of you are having the same frustrations as I am with Yahoo Instant Messenger?

Are you getting booted from Yahoo, or having your mic all of a sudden not work, your webcam stop or lock up for no reason?

I know that a handful of you I talk to or have chatted with have experienced it with me, but for those who don't, do you have issues? 

I have read up on it through yahoo search and still can't figure it out. 

 

I've heard to upgrade. I did and it didn't' work.  I've heard to downgrade, I did and it didn't work.

Ya know that sick feeling you get when you come to the Q and it's locked up or their doing maintenance and you can't get on? That's how I feel when I can't communicate with friends and family.

Any thoughts, rumors or suggestions would be appreciated, so please share what you know.

 

In my readings, I found this site that will allow you to either up/downgrade different versions:

My only issue is that I can't talk and type at the same time.

 

(edited to add:  It may be I can't listen and read at the same time...or both.)

+1 thumbs upI put "I have no idea", but only because I actually use several different versions of Yahoo IM, depending on whether I'm at home on my PC, on my laptop, or briefly checking in from work.

If you're not familiar, it lets you access AIM, Yahoo, MSN Messenger, ICQ and Internet Relay Chat in one self-contained program.

My Yahoo Messenger ID is the same name as FanIQ.

I love yahoo messenger and I got an email maybe a month ago to upgrade and it sometimes would load and it had a lot of problems so I downgraded but only to the 8.0 or whatever but I prefer the even older one. They are just trying to get to fancy without gettin all the bugs.

I have the latest version 9.0 Beta. I seems to be working fine unless I'm on there with people that have the old version (which is the majority). I mess theirs up when I use all the bells and whistles.

+3 thumbs upYahell gives problems all the time.... I find though that the new Beta 9 has more issues (from what other's tell me) and so I'm sticking with the 8.1.0.xxx whatever.... it boots me everyonce in a while, but I'm on a wireless network in my house so that could be the issue.

for #4- i chose one of your options but my answer is this: I sporadically have problems and had them more often before I moved to VA which I attributed most to my P.O.S. computer more than Yahoo.  I would almost venture to say that it hasn't happened to me in the 2 months I have been using David's computer.  Could be coincidental, dunno.

my yahoo id is same as here: Terika Harifa

I tried a million times and couldn't even get it to download 9.0 beta or 8.0, not sure if it has something to do with my security program, vista, or what. Just got overly frustrated with it, so I just use my aol IM now. No probs there!!
