Q. Having Trouble Starting Messenger?
A.
- make sure that you do not have a program called windows blind running, it does not work well with yahoo
- make sure you're firewall is not blocking your connection to the yahoo servers. Try turning off the firewall for a second, see if you can connect, then you'll know if thats your problem
- make sure you have the latest version Macromedia flash player
- your Internet Exployer is updated, and Windows Media Player
Q. Can someone view my webcam without my permission?
A. No.Using a Cam-Viewer type program has never been proven to actually let you break into someones web cam without their knowledge and is extremely unlikely. Most of these so-called Cam-Viewer programs only allow the user to remain anonymous - you still get a request from Yahoo for "anonymous" to view your web cam.
Q. How do I send an IM to more than one person?
A. Open up your Yahoo Messenger contact list. Then hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and click on the contacts that you want to message. Click the "Actions" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Send an Instant Message." Now just simply type your message and send.
Q. How can I recover my password to a lost or stolen account?
A. Go to https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_forgot_pw? to attempt to request a new password. If your unable to reset your password, your next step is to fill out this form Yahoo! Feedback and await Yahoo's reply. If still you didn't succeed try emailing Yahoo directly at messenger-new-help@cc.yahoo-inc.com, messenger-abuse@yahoo-inc.com or sg-mail@yahoo-inc.com
Q. How can I avoid falling victim to Booters?
A.
- Make sure you are not in a "Fight Room". These rooms are made for the purposes of malicious intent.
- Download and run anti-booting software such as Y!Tunnel or YTKpro - This easy-to-use program provides the highest level of protection available against abusive and malicious chatroom activity.
- Report the offending user to abuse@yahoo.com
Q. Can my contacts get my IP address, and if so what can they do with it?
A. An IP address is not something hard to obtain, and will not give away any information about you personally. In fact the majority of users have dynamic IP's that change from day to day, rendering posession of this info even more useless. Any way, if you want to avoid that someone to get your IP remember that using a webcam, messaging directly with a buddy, IMVironments and file transfers all may connect directly with your contact leaving your IP open for discovery. For better protection use a router or firewall on your home network and keep an updated antivirus application running as well.
Q. Is it possible to permanently delete a Yahoo Messenger account?
A. t is possible to delete a yahoo account but it will also delete everything else, including your yahoo mail and any other yahoo areas that you use that ID for. Once you delete it you won't be able to reactivate it. Here is the link to the page with all the info and links for deleting the account. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edi...s/edit-23.html
Q. How to put Symbols in your Yahoo Nickname (not your ID)
A.Just edit your profile regularly and put the symbols you'd like and viola.
Q. Can someone record my webcam feed?
A.Yes! And there is no way to prevent from being recorded. So some good advice i read lately: Don't do anything on cam that you wouldn't like to be recorded. Behave as if you knew you were being recorded or don't cam at all!
Q. Can someone add me to their friends list without my permission?
A.NO, if they are using a newer Yahoo! Messenger, you will always show up as "Add request pending" on their buddylist so they will not know when you're online and won't be able to view your status messages. (But with an older version of Yahoo! Messenger, and some third party Messengers, they will be able to see you as online and they will be able to see your status messages.)
Q. Can't see you own text or anybody else in Chat or IM ?
A. Close Yahoo! Messenger and all IE (internet explorer) windows
When you send or receive an instant message and no message appears, you probably have scripting disabled in your Internet Explorer.To enable scripting:
1. Click the "Tools" menu on your Internet Explorer toolbar and select "Internet Options."
2. Click the "Security" tab.
3. Click the Internet (globe) icon and click the "Custom Level" button.
4. Scroll down to "Scripting."
5. Enable the following:
* Active scripting
* Allow paste operations via script
* Scripting of Java applets are all enabled
