Anyone else having problems with Yahoo Instant Messenger Beta?

Mine keeps on logging off, then signing back in. Not major, but a bit irritating.

Update:

My connection is good. Everything else working fine.

    YES!!!!!!!!!! To say the least it has been driving me crazy lately! It signs me out and back in right in the middle of a call and then it will continue to do it periodically through out the day it is so frustrating! Essentially this is the only phone I have until my fiance' comes home from work, and I am job hunting so you can imagine how frustrating it can be!!! Anyway, do you currently use the voice feature? If so what happens if you use all your funds up on the phone out option? It's not letting me re-up and I think I remember something in the disclosure stating that if you let your account get down to 0 than you cannot use Yahoo Voice anymore or something? I will look it up. Regardless I am definitely having problems since Beta came in my life and downloaded the newest version.

    It is the network connection. I know this sounds strange. I've also noticed... all my other Net-related work carries on with no probs, but yahoo signs out and signs in again.

    Incidentally, it happens more frequently when I'm using a Wireless N/W, when the signal strength goes low. But I have also noticed it on wired N/W.

    I have not been able to sign onto messenger all week. I am not sure what is going on but I hope this gets resolved soon.

    probably a bad internet connection on which a constantly pinging application cannot stand.
