Hi Andre,
I am not sure how to fix this problem, I have yahelite chat program i iggy
ppl that way. My quesstion would be, What is a 14 year old doing on yahoo
messenger in the 1st place? I thought Yahoo messenger was for people 18 and
over? Seems to me she needs to be on a site legal for teens maybe.

Subject: [Y!M] Big problem with recent yahoo messenger update
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 ?
