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.

"Bots" are auto-programs that wait for a certain trigger and activate. You got hit with some bad ones. "Flood" is to get someone off a channel used for private or illegal purposes, like spamming. Report this to the proper authorities and let them deal. Meanwhile, find a new chat room.

If you have java support in your web browser you can use the built in java chat that yahoo provides.\n\nYou can use also console clients, as (http://www.larvalstage.com/zinc/).

yahoo has recently gotten rid of the old java chats. now you have to use messenger or go to http://chat.yahoo.com/ or http://beta.chat.yahoo.com/ they have also temporarily suspended the ability to make your own rooms.\n\na much smarter choice would be to use yahoo chats in http://www.yahelite.org/

From Audit my pc: \nThe ypager.exe process provides a system tray icon, that will give you instant notification if someone attempts to contact you using Yahoo messenger. Additionally, it will give you immediate access to many of the features of Yahoo messenger. If you use Yahoo mesenger and find this process useful, you should leave it running. Otherwise you should terminate this process.\n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/process/ypager.asp

Yahoo has created "robots" for some games so that you could play with them. But if they spam, I don't think that they are Yahoo! robots.

Any one can send you a message irrespective of you being at Chat room or not only thing required is your id.\nFor sending a msg to anyone just choose send msg by id and enter that id.\nIt just flow sleek to the right place :).

ummm, what protocol is it? MSN's? Yahoo's? Jabber's (the one that Google and several other uses)? or your own?\n\nFirst, study their protocols first then send packets of data etc according to the protocols. You can usually google the protocol specification.

Well, it's possible with HTML if you have a server-side technology generating the HTML for you (otherwise how would the new messages appear?) -- perhaps PHP or Perl or Python -- However, strictly speaking, there need not be any additional software besides a web browser and an HTML page from what the site visitor sees on THEIR end.\n\nThe way to do this is to get the HTML page to refresh itself very frequently, typically somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds. The page would be created with frames, with one non-refreshing frame being the form where outbound messages are typed, another (main) frame showing incoming messages and refreshing frequently, and perhaps a third frame with a menu or navigation bar.\n\nI won't go into a complete frames tutorial here because it's a bit outside the scope of the question, but for the main page that needs to be refreshed frequently, the HTML code might start something like this...\n\n<HTML>\n<HEAD>\n<TITLE>Chat Room</TITLE>\n<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=http://example.com/chat.php">\n</HEAD>\n<BODY>\n... the rest of your page goes here ...\n</BODY>\n\nThe number 10 before the URL tells the web browser to go to the specified page (in this case, the same one) in 10 seconds.\n\nNote that some spyware and adware programs will now automatically block pages that refresh frequently like this (because the technique is also used for rotating ads).\n\nThe other part of the scenario here is the page appearing in the smaller frame, typically below the main incoming chat page, where the user types their outbound messages. This would need to be a form with one line of text and a submit button (pressing the Enter key would send the form by default). That's where the scripting language comes in again, because you need some way to add the newly sent message to the data on the server so it can be displayed when the page is refreshed for all participants.\n\nThere you go. An outline of a basic "HTML" chat. If I had to do it myself I'd probably go with PHP, mainly because it's so readily available on shared hosting services these days.\n\nFor the record, Java would certainly produce a "cleaner" chat client. As would MacroMedia Flash (my personal choice). Either of these will have multiple advantages such as being more interactive, and not having that web page "flicker" as the page reloads.\n\nHTML-only via refresh IS a valid technique and is still used by some popular sites when Flash and Java are not detected.
