Unable to join Yahoo chat rooms

2013-12-02 Thread Dhiraj Singh
Hello All,
 Well, I am unable to yahoo chat room from pidgin.
When I click on Get list button every category appears, i.e Business
  Finance, Music, Romance. But when I hit double click on  the
available rooms, nothing appears. In Windows Yahoo messenger, when we
do the same procedure, it gives a link to join the room. I am unable
to join rooms from pidgin. Need Help.

-- 
Cheers !!!
Dhiraj.

The Yahoo chat rooms have been discontinued for some time.

Re: URGENT: Please remove links to comparehomeloans.com.au

2013-12-02 Thread Mark Doliner
First an explanation of what happened, since it might not be clear to
Adam Smoulders/Comparehomeloans.com.au:
- The URL you pasted is a link to the archive of our tracker mailing list
- Our bug tracking system sends emails to this mailing list for all
new bug reports and for any changes to bug reports
- In May 2011 someone created an item in our bug tracker that
contained a bunch of spammy text about home loans with links to your
web site
- We deleted the item from our bug tracker, but the archived email remains

To be fair to the poster, it's possible the spam wasn't generated
_directly_ by him or his web site. It's possible someone affiliated
with this website paid some sort of shady SEO company to boost your
search result ranking for a low low fee! I think this is more likely.
I think this sort of thing probably happens frequently and I think it
isn't always obvious that the shady SEO company is spamming the hell
out of the Internet.

Lesson: If you're running a web site, be extremely skeptical about
working with SEO companies. Ask them specifically what they're doing.
Good SEO involves improving your website by making it friendlier to
search engines (and users) and adding better content. You can raise
awareness by placing targeted advertisements in reputable ad networks
or by pitching your product to relevant press. Bad SEO involves paying
someone to plaster links to your website all over the Internet.

So while I despise spam and spammers, I think it's a little unfair to
vilify Adam and comparehomeloans.com.au so quickly. I mostly just want
to raise awareness--I don't care enough to bother removing the spam
from our mailing list archive.

Re: How Do I Send SMS Messages Using My ICQ Account ?

2013-12-02 Thread Mark Doliner
It sounds like you're doing everything correctly. I don't know why it
isn't working. It doesn't work for me, either (from an AIM account nor
an ICQ account).

I see two equally likely possibilities:
1. The functionality is broken or disabled in the AIM and ICQ servers.
2. The AIM and ICQ protocol has changed slightly and Pidgin isn't
behaving as needed in order for this to function.

We could probably narrow the problem down further by checking if this
functionality still exists in official AIM and ICQ clients and whether
it still works there.
