Delayed Access To Yahoo Chatrooms?

Question

Over the past few days, I have been experiencing a longer time period before the a chatroom window opens. Yahoo, Y!mlite, and Yazak all load fast - and the room menus come up quickly as well .... however, after clicking on any room in the menu ... there is a much longer wait. What once was a mere second or two is now as much as a full minute.

Have run 3 malware/spyware programs (clean) ... scan disk and defrag (ok) ... anti virus updated and scanned (clean) ... cleaned and defraged the registry .... dumped temp files and defraged memory, too ....... BUT still their is a longer delay.


Thoughts - opinions - ideas - solutions - are all appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Part of the problems is that chat rooms are full of bots which count against the maximum number allowed in. I go to only one room these days, and have been finding exactly the same problem as you are experiencing, but over probably 2 or 3 weeks now. I use Y Tunnel which has a 'room buster' function which has 10 tries at opening a room before giving up. That is returning both a 'room full' message and 'no reply from server' message. The later might explain that there are, indeed, yahoo problems. When, and if, I do get in, I receive constant messages 'you are already in this room'!
