seems that possibly Yahoo's merge with MSN might be taking its toll.

Check your firewall. Usually firewall blocks yahoo chats.\n\nCheers!\n\nShaba

I can't get into mine either. Messenger seems to be having a few problems of late but apparently they're fixing it. Must be gremlins in the system again.

check the settings you may still be blocked-un-check the box and you should be your way.  \n\nAnother way is to delete it and then re-install it.  \n\nBe very careful in chat rooms.  They have been proved dangerous to your health

Recently, I was bored one night and decided to go into a chat room.  Years ago I occasionally visited a chat room that was associated with a video game, and it was a lot of fun and actually pretty pleasant.  THat chat room has been closed for a long time, so I tried Yahoo.  I downloaded Yahoo messenger (which took an hour because I have dial-up) and went into a room.\n\nIt was horrible.  Constant bots spamming, telling me all about web cam girls or visit this or that site for such and such.  I tried several rooms; most were full of bots, and a few had people fighting and arguing.  There was only one room that seemed halfway normal, but I didn't really even like that one, so I closed it.  I tried again a few nights later but got frustrated after about five minutes of it.  I haven't opened Yahoo messenger since.

This happened to me also.  I was going into the rooms via Yahoo front page under Chat.  I found if I went into rooms via Yahoo messenger( there is a tab for it) I could PM someone.

change your profile make it sure you're above 18 years old.\nor create a new account. you will always get "chat error" message box if your account profile is under 18.

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  : )

Well, it depends on where you went to log on to chat room. You can go into chat room.You just go on Yahoo Messenger and then at the top there are different headings click on the messenger heading.Then all you have to do is click on the button that says Yahoo Chat and click Join A Room, then pick a room!!!

does the chat room need a download for activex or java to have it working?

Yahoo switched off their Java chat, so now you have to use Messenger to connect.\n\nhttp://chat.yahoo.com\n\nWith the change, their servers are probably overloaded.  Hopefully, the problems get sorted out soon.

I dont know about which chat room you are talking , but in most cases people forget installing Java Virtual Machine, Flash player. But if you are talking about yahoo chat room , try reinstalling
