◙ download this yahoo chat client. it is way better than using the chats on the yahoo site. these are the same rooms just a better way of using them http://www.yahelite.org/

I think most of the "people" in the chat rooms are bots.  Bots are "robots", they aren't really people, they are programs that try to get you to go to a pay site somewhere.

I think Yahoo took away the 'Adult' chat rooms until they can find a way to moderate them.  They had a problem with youngesters going in them without consent of their parents.

yahoo uses java based chatrooms so the reason u cant talk long is ur java settings. u need to fix them or get a later version of java. hope this helps

go into preferences than down to ignore.than you get two choices..ignore anyone who is not on my list<which will block out all chat in a room.. or just type in manually the name of the ppl. you want to ignore<this is the only way to in ignore ppl. and still see the room chat..this new yahoo messenger has many problems with it.the old beta was better,but ya cant get that one back either so were all s.o.l. until yahoo works out all the bugs..soon enough they will work it out,and when we get use to it..they will change it once again this is the 4th messenger change ive seen.

This happens to me as well, and I hate it because I want to play games, NOT CHAT!\n\nSo whenever I play, I have Yahoo IM open, but remain invisible. \nIn Messenger, click on "Preferences", and select "Privacy". Uncheck the "Allow Yahoo web sites to show when I'm online."

It is unfortunate.  Yahoo is working on controlling them through reporting.\n\nThis is how bots work.  These people are paid well to do this.  A person creates a program to be able to function in a chat room and runs down the list of chatters and sends them a message hoping to get them into their site.  These programs are sophisticated enough to create multiple anonymous accounts that Yahoo finds difficult to monitor.\n\nIn the future, to prevent these from happening, Yahoo can create email verification or "characters in image" verification to slow these down, however the people who use bots will eventually create technology that surpasses that.\n\nI do not work for Yahoo, but I am confident that Yahoo is tackling these issues daily and trying to find ways to make the Internet a better experience for its users.\n\nI used to have AOL and Netzero.  SBC Yahoo has been the best provider for me and they seem to take bots and spam more seriously than other providers.

Bots get deleted on a regular basis, but it's almost impossible to control the amount in the chat rooms since people can create as many fake accounts as they want.  There are even programs out there that you can run and they will create hundreds of fake screen names for you.

Well, Yahoo! doesn't seem to like getting sued for things that go on in the user rooms, and it's pretty hard to think of a way to prevent it from happening again since they don't have the staff to moderate every user room, and the posts are automatic so people will always see them before they get removed.\n\nThe conferencing feature works pretty well, though, if you already know people you want to invite to chat with. All you have to do is invite whomever you want to join in.

I don't have an answer for your question but I do have a statement , yahoo is worst then it ever was now that there are no user rooms , most user rooms had topics and that is what was discussed in those rooms , now no matter what the topic is all you see are people looking for cyber sex and porn spam
