Problems connecting just downloaded

2013-09-06 Thread madilane
I just downloaded Pidgin and when I added my gmail account for google talk,
I chose the protocol as google talk which then puts in the gmail domain.
Put in my username and password but when I go into the program to the buddy
list it switches the protocol to XMPP, it will not stay on google talk, so
it is unable to connect and did not download my buddy list. 

What to I do???

Thank you

@Madikane,

Google talk uses XMPP.  The drop-down option is only offered as a
convenience.

Despite how strange it looks, it is correct by switching to XMPP.  If you
have connectivity problems it is very likely they are caused by something
unrelated to this observation.

Can't connect to yahoo chat rooms

2013-09-06 Thread David Adams
Hi there. I can't connect to a yahoo chat room. I'm running windows 8. I'm
able to get into aim chats whenever I can find one, but clicking on the
yahoo chat rooms does nothing. I can't join them. Is there anything I need
to do to be able to join a chat? I have a ymail.com e-mail if that makes a
difference?

Yahoo chat rooms have been discontinued for some time.
