Yahoo messenger

I have just installed yahoo messenger and was wandering if there was a llamasoft chat room at all.

Cheers, Scott.

See the "How to connect to the Llamasoft Channel " thread, this explains all.

I've not used YIM for IRC, so won't be able to assist in setting it up for ya, but let us know if you have any problems.

Thanks but I think the yahoo messenger only works with yahoo rooms so I wont be able to access irc chat rooms with it.

I could be wrong though.

Just had a look myself, and it does seem that you can only use Yahoo 'rooms' for chat, so they aren't actually part if the IRC network.

I suggest you try Trillian for IRC to access #llamasoft.

Saturday and Sunday nights seem busiest in the room.

Trillian is great, it combines ICQ, MSN IRC and others in one nice clean and tidy (skinnable) app. Yahoo and others are bloat ware (fat installations). Trillian is lean and clean.

And you don't get any spam, like with ICQ, etc.

Yahoo does let you set up your own groups and rooms for chat purposes... but doesnt allow connection through to IRC servers. I think its pretty much standalone. It has voice and cam support which IRC doesnt have..... I think if someone has the icon below there mail on here it means they have a yahoo id that they can be messaged on if they are online.

If you dont want to download yahoo messenger itself you can go through a web based version that runs slow and crashes regularly..... me, id go for the download.

Got trillian up and running. This thing is great. Though I don't think it has webcam support so I'm using yahoo messenger for that and trillian for irc and msn. Great fun.

Scott.

Where do i find the web based version that runs slowly, etc? I haven't been able to download the IM due to a combination Netscape/Mac, and my plans to get Broadband have been delayed meanwhile AT&T gets around to fix the problem with the outside cables that don't povide a strong enough signal.
In the interim i could use that web based version even if it crashes regularly.

Looks great but according to the info it's only available for Windows

I have a Mac.

I did go thru Yahoo, and i was able to download the IM to my work computer (i couldn't at home due to the lack of a Netscape plugin compatible with Macs) and then i e/m the file to my home as an attachment. It has worked in the past with some of this download files so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
(Luckily enough the whatever that prevents us from downloading IM for Windows at work is not obstructing the download for the Mac

)

Sounds like your sorted there but I think the yahoo chat online appletl can be found just by going to yahoo then clicking on chat and following the links from there.... been a while since i used it.
