Last night I was visiting a friend. His 14 year old daughter was on Yahoo Messenger, the computer is in the living room so that her parents can monitor what's happening. All of a sudden we could his this guy shooting some nasty stuff and I mean nasty on voice. She just shut down Yahoo and left pissed off. I tried to explain to just put this guy on ignore and that's when I learned (oh by the way my old computer is well old so I put together a new one and haven't installed Yahoo Messenger on it yet) that there was an update to Yahoo Messenger, after that update you can't see the id of the person on voice, and that's why she just shut it off.
Me and my friend logged back on and started to figure out who this guy was, we had to put 28 people on ignore before finally ignoring the right one, and then take 27 people off ignore. What a serious pain in the, and a very big problem. My friend and his wife can't allow this, it needs to be clear on who their daughter needs to put on ignore when such an event happens. If she can't they won't be letting her use Yahoo Messenger any further. And I understand their stand and agree with it. If I had a daughter I would do the same thing. So what I'm wondering is, is this a bug with Yahoo Messenger and the 14 year old girl needs to start making arrangements to meet her friends on another chat client, or is there a fix. Something I was thinking was to uninstall Yahoo Messenger, remove any traces of it on the hard drive then use RegSeeker to clean the registry and then after a reboot reinstall Yahoo Messenger. Any thoughts ?
