if you are under 18,it won't let you,it will say the request was removed.To overcome this,make a new acount with your birthday at least 10 years before you were born

Try to allow more bandwidth to chat program... your connexion should be less used... \ntry not to download while your chatting.. navigation doesn't matter..\nThese are simple hints that should work if you haven't software/hardware problems...

Creating a Chat room is the Disabled option in a Yahoo Messenger. But to reach there you need to enter a room and then on the chat menu in the main menu you will see CREATE ROOM.. option. Click it if you have it enabled in your messenger and nJoy

Yup...It seems the yahoo chatrooms are closed temporarily.\n\nSeveral people have mentioned it in this Q&A site.\n\nYahoo are probably just doing some technical adjustments.\n\nYou getting withdrawl??  :-p

you would probably have to remove the messenger program from the add/remove program and try going into the chat line again!

1.  Try restarting your computer.  Open Yahoo messenger before you open other programs, it may be conficting with another program you have running.\n\n2.  Uninstall and reinstall Yahoo Messenger.  \n\n3.  Try a third party program (like Trillian or Qnext) and see if you can connect to Yahoo from there.  If you can, then the problem is definitely your install of Yahoo Messenger.

There may be two reasons.. \n\n1. your firewall may not be allowing it.. disable firewall..\n2. You may be using internet through a proxy server.. you can set the address of proxy server in yahoo messenger.. In the preferences menu

I had this problem many times on Windows XP after certain updates...My suggestion is to find an older version of yahoo messenger maybe 6

Hi,\n\nThere are 2 reasons for this as I know it from my experience.\n\n1) Cookies, Try clearing your cookies, set your adware & malware programs to do that & also you IE to do it. Though this problem is very unlikely Yahoo & MS these days are acting cranky with all their Beta's going around.\n\n2) Your firewall is definitely the culprit. Try disabling your firewall & restart the messenger service. Remember you must end the service through taksmanager first & then restart the messenger from your start menu.\n\nApart from this if all these fail then try this. Log in to your yahoo account from IE or whichever browser you are using & go to account settings. Change your password there & signout. Relogin from your browser & logout. Now restart you messenger & try it.\n\nGood luck.

Yahoo has been experiencing this problem a lot lately.  This seems to happen to me when I am in chat about every other day. Try refreshing and then going back into the room you were in before.  It helps sometimes.  If not... Most other chatters are going through the same thing.

are you going into chat by the way of messenger.. click tools at top of messenger, scroll down 2 chat, click it.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need 2 reboot or refresh messenger, by clicking view at  top of messenger and then click refresh  : )
