CAN'T ACCESS YAHOO MESSENGER ROOMS

You must be behind a firewall. Chat rooms require another port, it seems. I am also not able to do it. Since my company allows only http traffic. the ordinary messaging works fine on setting proxy settings but chatrooms don't work.

If i am confusing you with this post, please ignore it.

Ensure that you have the Indian version of yahoo IM installed, not the US or intl version... I had the same problem until I switched to the Indian version.

^^^ Indian version for yahoo . this is the first time im hearing this. if possible can you show me the links to yahoo us/int and indian messenger download/info page.

yahoo India Messenger >
*in.messenger.yahoo.com/

Yahoo Int. Messenger >
*messenger.yahoo.com/

There you go

FYI, I have been using the international Y! IM without any issue.

hmm...ur right pooja...
iam not even sure what exactly is the differnece between the two versions...

i have got indian version and it still doesn't allow chat rooms.

everybody here is the answer yahoo is protecting privacy so if ur bdate is less than 18 u cant enter the chatroom so make a new id and remember to quote the age above 18

no special indian version needed,international will do i myself have solved the problem

So we hv got a new guardian besides Indian govt.

u cant go to user chat rooms on yahoo msgr. yahoo ppl have disabled them
