To all who want to know about YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER, click here?

I don't know if yahoo instant messenger is up and running yet, but if you want to sign on to the yahoo web based instant messenger, which works, click this link:

http://messenger.yahoo.com/

Scroll to the bottom where it says "launch web messenger." You may have to sign in if you aren't already. You may also have to hold down the ctrl key in case you have a pop up blocker, as the blocker may block the messenger from coming up.

Update:

lol well the web messenger is working for most people, and regardless of how different it is, it could just be the only way for yall to sign on if nothing else works...so you're happy with it, or nothin at all.

Either way...if no one can get on, then I'm sure none of your buddies are on...so what's the point right? It's just...not bein able to get on drives ya crazy eh? I know the feeling lol.

    I tried the web messenger and it didn't work for me. But, if you change "Connection Preferences" on regular Messenger to "Firewall with no proxies", then try to log in, that might help. It worked for me. :)
