Thanks but this isn't very solution-oriented. Let's try this a different way: please post the last known Yahoo IM version number that played nice with Growl and I will install it to see how things go from there. Someone has already suggested the IM version I am running may be too new for Growl...

Whether it's a misconfiguration or a bug, the problem is with Yahoo!'s software, so they're the ones you need to ask about this/report it to. > > Before you ask “how do I check for that file”: Don't bother. It won't be missing it unless you removed it. If it doesn't have one, either it registers by talking to Growl or it doesn't talk to Growl at all (or it has a bug, which is what appears to be the case); finding no such file will tell you nothing, and creating one yourself will not help. > > You need to contact Yahoo!. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/growldiscuss?hl=en. >
