I want to be able to get to yahoo chatrooms

Asked by MysticBlueRose

It says that I should be able to login to gaim and go to yahoo chatrooms. But I can't figure out how to make it work. I go to tools, room list, find the room and choose join and nothing happens. What can I do to get to yahoo's chatrooms? Thank you.

I just tried it. Do you have an account with Yahoo and is it setup and connecting?
I went into accounts.... add......and created one for my yahoo account.
Then I went into tools.... room list.... selected my yahoo account.... get list.

Over a two-thousand-year period, but especially in the last two hundred years, we have jerked and tugged the Christian faith out of its original soil, its life-giving source, which is an honest relationship with God through Jesus the Christ. After uprooting the faith, we have entombed it in a declaration of adherence to a set of beliefs. The shift has left us with casual doctrinal assent that exists independent of a changed life. We have made the Cross into a crossword puzzle, spending our time diagramming byzantine theories of atonement. How did the beauty of Jesus’ atoning work get isolated from the wonder of restoring an authentic relationship between God and humanity? ~Leonard Sweet

I do have a yahoo account, I do login on gaim, I do get my room list. But when I choose Christian Chatroom 3, which is the room I normally hang out in, and click on join nothing happens.
