Hi,


Do you have any other logins to Yahoo with the same screen names ?

Another Yahoo capable app, another computer or a web based Login ?
There seems to be some evidence that one log in will log out a previous one to some degree. In other cases it seems to prevent login.

Try going to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and deselecting the Use this account tick box.

Then re-tick it (I.e log iChat out of Yahoo then try logging in again. Do this with no other Yahoo capable app open)



If you have had a web based log in did you log out before quitting the page ?

An AIM or Google Login have default Login periods of up to two weeks if you just leave the page without Logging out.
