Problem seems to be related to slow net connection!
Thats why its saying "the request has taken longer than expected"...

Lol ... i don't think thats the problem of a slow conn. ..... something wrong with yahoo messenger itself ... i face the same problem .. i add using Trillian or Agile Messenger from my mobile and things are absolutely ok .... donno .. maybe my 234 kbps conn. is slow for Yahoo ...
