Yahoo messenger doesn't seem to offer a chat room service anymore. Is there some other way I can use yahoo messenger like an old style chat room.
nope definitely no option for yahoo chat.
I just downloaded the latest version of yahoo messenger and there's nothing like that in the menu
I think the problem might be that I've downloaded the UK version which doesn't have the chat room option

If you do not see Yahoo! Chat in the Messenger menu at the top of Yahoo Messenger, then either your download was corrupted or you did not download the USA version of Yahoo Messenger 9.0. (or any older version as well). The chat rooms are there.

I suggest you do a complete unisntall of Yahoo Messenger and then download yahoo messenger again from the link I will provide.

COMPLETE UNINSTALL OF YAHOO MESSENGER
I would suggest uninstalling yahoo messenger through add/remove programs.
If you want to do a total clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger then also navigate to Program Files on your hard drive and delete the Messenger folder inside of the Yahoo Folder. Follow this path (XP): My Computer>>C: drive>>Program Files>>Yahoo>>Messenger. Reboot your computer (important!).
If you have a trusted registry scanner use it now. If you do not have a trusted registry scanner that you are familiar with than skip this step because you can mess things up if you do not know what you are doing. I personally use CCleaner but then I have been using it for years and know how to use the Registry scanner portion safely. Using any of these types of programs is use at your own risk. Make sure you know how to create a system restore point and backup any of the Registry files it changes.
Please note that doing a clean uninstall of Yahoo Messenger will erase your message archives so read here about how to copy them http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger8/messenger/mstacopyarchive.html
It is important that now you reboot your computer. Now download and install Yahoo messenger again using the following link: Full Installer for Yahoo Messenger 9.0.0.2162

--------------------------
Please note that you have to be at least 18 to enter the Yahoo! Chat rooms or your request to join the room will be refused.
