I cannot see any messages I send or receive in Yahoo Mail Chat?
It worked fine on Monday night. I chatted with a friend with Yahoo Mail Chat for several hours. Last night (Tuesday), I could see my messages in the entry box but when I hit enter, I only saw the time/date stamp -- no message. Nor could I see the messages sent to me. I could here the "boop" of an incoming message but could only see the time/date stamp of the message.
I made no changes at all to any Yahoo options, preferences or settings. I also did not make any changes to either Firefox nor IE9 which were both used during these attempts. I even tried a reboot and it did not affect the problem.
This is totally unusable in this state. How do I get the messages back?

Hi there,
Sorry to hear about the Chat in Mail woes. If anyone is using Google Chrome as your browser, then you may be affected by a known issue. The help article below provides a workaround to the problem.
For those of you not using Chrome, please try contacting Yahoo! Customer care directly so they can take a deeper look at your accounts.
