Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Anyone heard if YMessenger is going to fix the random disconnects?

Really bad in the evenings.. can't even carry on a conversation without a disconnect anywhere from 2 seconds to a minute.

Update:

3,4 Pentium D with 1.5 Ghz DDR RAM, 512 MB Radeon Video, XP Pro SP2, Direct Cat5 connection into 6MB Cable. Line quality tests show all green. Speed tests 6226kbps down / 269kbps up... Not using it to 'talk' just messaging. Antivirus is AVG and never had any problems with it.

Update 2:

Not using it for chat rooms either.. just to message others on friend's list...

    I am not having any random disconnects. You should update your messenger to the latest version which is 416 at the moment.

    The main issues are random room entry, where you can't go to a room of your liking. Instead Yahoo! jumps you off to the nearest open/uncrowded room.

    This issue has seriously helped Yahoo! Bot population to infest the rooms. They're everywhere so the rooms are pretty much unusable.

    A recent announcement on blog.messenger.yahoo.com from project manager Sarah did say that they're working on these issues in a timely manner.

    But how long before we see a Yahoo! that is *fixed* and without any problem, no one knows.

    Maybe Sarah knows, but I doubt even she can answer that one with confidence.

    I am afraid you have to wait for the next patch. Are you using a wirelles connection at home? It maybe your setup. Are you downloading any big files while you are using yahoo messenger? Do you have enough RAM on your computer and have you defragged your hard drive lately? How about antivirus? Can you check your outgoing network traffic and see if it is peaking while you are talking? That would indicate that the problem is on your side or the opposite if your utilization is very low.

    Have you tried emailing their tech support?
