Yahoo Messenger problem

[Stattovic]

I often use Yahoo Messenger to speak to my son and daughter over the Internet.

However sometimes they tell me that they cannot see what I say. I resolve this by logging out and back in again.

Can someone please advise me on this.

Many thanks.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program? I don't think it has been updated in years. I think there are other programs out there that will allow you to converse through yahoo and other clients. Trillian comes to mind I think.

Yahoo messenger has always sucked and had issues. So it doesn't surprise me that logging out and back in fixes the issue.

I have taken your advice and uninstalled Yahoo Messenger and uploaded Trillian, I can see my contacts and they see me.
So heres hoping.
Thanks for your advice.
