It's not YOUR problem, Wiz.  Yahoo is definitely having problems at THEIR end.\nSee link below for more detail (and/or do a SEARCH here on Answers for simply "backgammon" - THAT'll sure show u r not the only one who can't use it!)

There could be two reasons for this.\n\nFirstly, you should check your firewall, it may have created a rule either automatically or otherwise, forbidding two way communication by the messenger.\n\nSecondly, try changing your connection settings in the preferences tab of the messenger itself. \n\nIf you're using a antispyware utility, make sure it does not reckon yahoo messenger as a keylogging program as the messenger needs to monitor your keystrokes. \n\nHope the above helps. Happy chatting. :)

(Update following posting of 'Additional Information' by the inquirer)\n\nThis really is a wierd situation. It's hard to tell whether this is a problem with your account, or your computer browser setting.\nTo figure this out, you could do the following: -\n - get a friend to sign in to Yahoo Message Boards using your computer\n\n- Create another account with Yahoo and see if the problem persists.\n\nIf it is the first case, then there's definitely something not quite right with your browser settings. \n\nHope this helps\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nCould give more information on which type of browser you are using, (internet explorer, or Firefox/Mozilla), and if you have enabled Javascript please?\n\n(The commonst cause could be the latter - you haven't enabled javascrpt to run)

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.

the yahoo servers act crazy sometimes. it happens to many users. \nyahoo servers do not communicate with each other in the best way on MYYAHOO.

bum luck but sorry, Y! will not interfere with private leagues. commissioners have full jurisdiction over their leagues and have the tools to adjust any team's roster at any point for any week previous and in play....\n\nCommissioner Tools > Edit Rosters\n\nit sucks to have landed in a cheating private league but thems the breaks...public leagues usually has some lame players but at least if someone tries to cheat in there, then Y! can step in and lock their ass....Team Ducks....\n-nny

Yea i know. This is at least the 10th post ive seen about this. PLZ stop posting this as posting it honestly will not do anything about it. This problem has occurred numerous times in different yahoo leagues over the past week including mine. Yahoo is probably trying to fix the problem as fast as they can.

Check in your server logs for something like\n\nMozilla/5.0+( compatible; +Yahoo! +Slurp; +http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp )\n\nthe user agent string for yahoo's bots.

I'm assuming that you are referring to Yahoo! Pool. If you have a two button mouse, you hold down the right button and pull back the cue then let go to hit. If you have a one button mouse *most mac users* hold shift down while you click to hit the cue.

Why not leave your house and actually play real pool with real people for once.\n\nIt's not just a computer game you know.

Any well-designed online game won't work with cheating, because the play decisions are made by the server and not your machine. Your game doesn't send out the message "I just killed XYZ", it says "I want to attack XYZ", and the server says "too bad, you lose".\n\nI can only wish you a swift ban from any game you try this in, as it would be an entirely lame and selfish thing to do.

The persons before have a point especially the first one.\nIt could have been a bug messing around in Yahoo! supercomputer.\nOnce I experienced a similar problem, the "Answer This Question" tab was there but when I clicked on it, Yahoo! said "Oops! You may not take the action."\n\nWait for it to restore.\nIt could take weeks.
