Boycott Yahoo
Both Kopete and Gaim stopped working with Yahoo AGAIN.

Wow, i just tryed to login to gaim with yahoo. Stopped working, damn you're right, it says incorrect password, damn them yahoo tards. Too bad they are my broadband ISP :rolleyes:
|
There must be SOME logical reason why Yahoo changes their protocol every 7 days.
|
Well, maybe they changed their authentication scheme. Note that they have this new version (Messenger 6 Suite). I guess I'll be using the official client for now, though.
|
O great... i was thinking it was only me!, (i might have typed a simple 3 easy word password that i never got wronger before incorrectly , right?)
well, now i think its time i moved my email address again (or maybe get my mom to switch to a adsl service, the provider we could get would give us a new email address :) ) |
I spent 10 minutes removing preferences and messing around until I tried to use it through the windows version of gaim. I guess they really really don't like people stealing their "free" instant messenger service.
|
So what you are saying is that Yahoo have changed their system yet again to stop FOSS programs connecting to it. Wait a while and keep checking the GAIM site - they normally post a new version very quickly.
|
Moved: Looks more like a general type discussion, nothing Linux technical about this so its been moved accordingly.
|
same problem here...just happened yesterday
|
Yes - they appear to have updated their protocols. Keep checking the Gaim/Kopet/etc sites to see when they fix it.

|
GAIM is ALLOT nice, in my opinion.
