RE: Yahoo Messenger, changes

[Burgess, Tom (KCTCS)]

As a follow-up to this note, I found this, which is really disturbing.

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/yahoo-messenger-for-web/SLN26860.html

Can I use Yahoo Messenger with 3rd party messaging apps?
No. The new version of Yahoo Messenger doesn't work with 3rd party clients, 
like Trillian and Pidgin.

Any way to find a way to make this work?

Please advise. - Tom Burgess

Pidgin Support,

Please use this email to create an enhancement ticket as Yahoo Messenger is 
communicating changes to Yahoo Messenger and discontinuing old messenger.

What do I need to do to embrace this change and continue using Pidgin and not 
be forced over to the new Yahoo Messenger client?


Here is the message I received last night and this morning.

As a long time user of Pidgin using the Yahoo Messenger account, I want to know 
how Pidgin will be supporting this change?

Issues with Yahoo Messenger, reporting a new bug

[Burgess, Tom (KCTCS)]

Pidgin Support,

Please use this email to create an enhancement ticket as this is a new bug 
needing fixed.

Starting this week (on September 22) it seems Yahoo updated their Messenger 
product.  I use Pidgin, and my colleague use Yahoo Messenger client 
(11.5.0.228).

I can receive his messages, but he is not able to receive my reply messages.  I 
have three test scenarios below for you.

Using my yahoo ID and using Pidgin I can messages to other Yahoo ID where the 
other user is using Pidgin without any issues.  Pidgin to Pidgin using Yahoo ID 
seems to be working fine.

Looks like Yahoo has changed some type of protocol or buffer change with Yahoo 
Messenger client.


  Scenario 1 - colleague launches new IM message to me. I can see his note, 
but he cannot see my replies within this session that he launched initially.

  Scenario 2 - I launch new IM message session to him.  He can see my 
initial message, and then he can see my replies thereafter.

  Scenario 3 - my colleague (using YahooMsgr) launches a new IM to me.  I 
close the window.  Then open a new session to him, then he is able to see my 
reply and I can see his reply.


Each time, we closed the messenger window, but stayed connected within the 
respected IM clients (me-Pidgin, him-Yahoo Messenger), and I start the IM 
conversation, then he can see my replies and I can see his.


His Yahoo Messenger version is: 11.5.0.228
My Pidgin version is: Pidgin 2.10.11 (libpurple 2.10.11) e38a9aa5b1f8



Q: Can you have someone get this corrected, or have them send me some 
workaround to get this working?
