Every time I try and log into a chat room with yahoo it says "signing into chat took longer than expected. please try again later". I have tried changing my yahoo id, using a different version and, yes, even trying again later. All to no avail. \n\nWhat is up?

Mabbe its because you are not 18 years of age.\nYahoo chatrooms are now available to only those who are 18yrs or more older

Yahoo didn't just let her. She pretended to be you and knew all the info they ask about changing passwords and that is how she got it. Low down trick but she did it so make sure you open a new account and change some of the info on it...........

Hi,\nTo get A chat, You need to go to Yahoo Messenger and sign in using your yahoo Id. When you have signed in. Go to Messenger Menu and click > Yahoo > Join a Room. When the options come up, click on the room which you wish to join. When yahoo connects you, click on the ENTER CHAT button. You will enter the room. There you can have chat with those in that room. When you wish to switch rooms and meet others click on the Chat button and choose again. Hope this helps.\nYou can also chat with me. Simply click the avatar. When the new page opens, click send message. But make sure you are also signed in on yahoo messenger in order to send message.\nTc\nLove\nAngel Doll

Well possibly because it's an old computer or Yahoo! is just having troubles these days. It's best you wait for a couple of minutes before trying again. Try also another computer. If that computer doesn't do the same it's obvious it's your computer...but if you try and it does the same, something is wrong with Yahoo!.

good question mega have asked a similar and can't get a straight answer yet....  Maybe server issue dunno.  You would think Yahoo, in it's brillance, would post a message rather than failed log in standard one.

The only way someone can change ur password is if they knew ur username and password and changed it themselves.  Either that or it could be a yahoo problem.  That's happened before.

Just as a test try to make a new user account with yahoo messenger an seeing if that helps ( If not then go to a friends place and try and sign into yahoo messenger ( If it works there then they may have blocked you from logging on by your ip address or something to that extent ) So may be worth while contacting your ISP and seeing if they can change your ip address or something like that.

Boy do I hear you!  I used to use the chat rooms alot back in the beginning of my computer useage, but it became such a hassle to sort thru who was for real and who were 'posers' just out to cause issues with you that I had to stop.  I have not had any chatting for a long time now.  Good luck, and best regards.

You mentioned that you "took time to answer"\nwell. it could be that the yahoo servers timed out on you. the servers disconnected you from being logged on. so the answer did not go through. hope that answers your question.\n\nand don't worry, your question was in the right category.\n\n"server time out" is computer related stuff.

It has to do with your PC settings or the specific chat room. Different on-line chat sites will allow different settings.

i had the same problem an hour ago for a while... now its fine though, just try again soon...sometimes it just wont let you in- usualy something wrong with the msn and not you.if you keep having the problem- maybe you dont have the right password.... try clicking- forgot my password...

Well, sometimes there is a lag in the yahoo system since there are probably thousands logged on at a time. :-)

The same thing was happening to us yesterday. We were definitely typing in the correct password. Didn't seem to do with cookies or temporary internet files either. I'm thinking was a problem on the Yahoo side of things. Seems to be fixed today, without having to do anything on our end.\nThere were others having this same problem also. See the links below.

sometimes that can happen and the problem only lasts like a day\non the older versions people could use an account locker on other peoples messenger id and that also could block the account for a few hrs at times\ntry logging in with some other id (not a sub id of the blocked account) if you can log in with another id then the problem is temporary

try the same version with different set of username and password; if it works then the username and password was not correct. If it doesnt work try with a different computer connected to the same Networking Device(router or switch or modem). If it also fails check the port used by yahooo messenger.
