| 127994 | 2003-03-14 08:14:00 | GAIM seemed realy easy to set up for communication with ICQ users, yet not at all easy for yahoo messenger. I've set up 2 accounts, if i try to log in on either, it then gives me the following error: "<user> has been signed off: Unable to read" Has anyone got this service to work? Whats the secret? .Clueless |

| 127995 | 2003-03-14 12:18:00 | Have you looked at the website at all? I can't say I have tried to connect to Yahoo! messenger service before but I do know that the people running the service (Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ) do like to change protocols so that third partly clients don't work. http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ |

| 127996 | 2003-03-14 19:03:00 | I like the website...just had a look at it now, such a pity that it didn't offer any help on this particular problem. I am running an "older version" of GAIM so lets see what an update does? .Clueless |

| 127997 | 2003-03-14 20:29:00 | I updated..... And it now works :) Everything else seems the same, I'm logging into the same place; pager host:"scs.yahoo.com" pager port:"5050" same screenname, alias, and password. From an end user point of veiw, the only other change seems to be the version number. I'll call it an ex-bug, and be happy .Clueless |
