The problem goes like this.

Everytime I am logging into YM, I can see all the rooms are overwhelmingly crowded.[See fig 1 & 2]. This is happening for last one week. I have uninstalled\reinstalled, YM twice, scanned with AVG for umpteenth time. No result.

Is this a problem? They are public rooms. They can be overcrowded. Why are you worried about it??

OK, the problem seems to be on Yahoo's side. From today they hav introduced the system of captcha in the event of changing rooms. I guess they were under attack from BOTs.

However, not everybody was experiencing this.

Anyway............

Frnd although i couldn't see the pic attached, i could still figure out the prob u were facing......

Its because yahoo was testing on new functionality(captcha) and because of which it was showing too many users in the room...

This has been fixed now and by the time you get this msg..... u wont find the prob anymore.
