Yahoo shows connecting but not connected

[b727.plane@…]

I am connecting to Bitlbee through the Opera browser to the im.bitlbee.org server. At times I get the following ... root 1. YAHOO, b727plane (connecting) ... It shows connecting but is not connected. I use the account off then account on and sometimes it connects and sometimes it does not. This has been happening a lot lately. All others Jabber, MSN, IRC, and OSCAR, work perfectly. This happens both at home and at work with all of my Yahoo accounts.

I am still having an issue with Yahoo ... it appears ticket 332 had somewhat of the same issue and mentioned that it started around the same time my issue started in November. It does not appear to be getting any better. Here I sit and have used account on/off about 10 times and my Yahoo accounts refuse to connect.

Sorry to bother but I am still having the same above issue

[b727.plane@…]

I am still having the issue of Yahoo not connecting. I have tried 4 times in the last 20 minutes and it still says connecting and not connected. Once again, I have this problem here at work and at home. I am using Kubuntu Linux and connecting to the bitlbee.org server. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Is there something wrong or a setting somewhere I should change or is something not working or are you all working on a problem? Thank you.

Sorry for being so irresponsive. Is this still happening? It's strange that this is happening on im.bitlbee.org and nobody else is having problems there. What if you try it on testing.bitlbee.org?

From e-mail:

Yes, it is still happening. I have tried everything including deleting the accound and re-creating it. It even happened last night. I could not sign on to either of my 2 accounts here at home and it still occurs with my account at work also.

it is sporatic ... at one point last night I could not sign on to either yahoo account but after about 8 tries I could sign onto 1 account and not the other. It does not happen every day. Sometimes, it seems as though there are not enough connection points.

(Unfortunately these aren't converted to comments automatically yet, but I think I should work on that...)

Sounds odd. But have you tried a different public server already?

["Jim H" <b727.plane@…>]

no, I have not tried a different server for years. I did not have a problem until last November when the other user that I read had a similiar problem. Something changed last November 2007 and it has not been right ever since. Can you tell me why it is only Yahoo? I have no other problems with any of the other services.

But please try to connect to testing.bitlbee.org to see if you have the same problem there. If you want I can copy your account files so you don't have to re-add all your accounts. _ Bugs mailing list Bugs@… ​http://lists.bitlbee.org/mailman/listinfo/bugs

Wilmer, I did create a Yahoo account on testing.bitlbee.org and it worked fine. I also, tried under im.bitlbee.org first and it did not work. If you transfered my information, would it permantly be under testing.bitlbee.org? If so, go ahead and let me know if that is the case. I just tested one of my Yahoo accounts there. Thank you.

I can, if you give me your nickname. :-)

there are two Jim88T and BenPA one is personal one is work. How long will it take? Also, if you do find a problem on im.bitlbee.org, please let me know because I do think that there is one there with Yahoo. Once again, thank you for your help.

I'm at work now, and don't have all the SSH keys I need to log into the
testing machine. However, I installed BitlBee 1.2 on im.bitlbee.org last
night (1.2 is *much* better than 1.0.4), can you see if your problem's
still there? If it is, there's probably a problem with the
machine/network, not with BitlBee.

I was able to get right on to the server no problem. That may have corrected the issue. If I have a problem, I will let you know. Otherwise, you can keep things as they are. Thank you.

Hah, that's great, that means I can close this bug. Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm glad we got this resolved now (although I must admit I'm not sure what fixed it exactly then...).

["Jim H" <b727.plane@…>]

I think you fixed the problem. I am so glad you finally got around to it ... lolololol ... thank you so much. If there is a prolem, I will let you know. Once again, thank you for you help.

Wilmer,

The issue with Yahoo has raised it ugly head again. I am not sure what happened but I am starting to have the same issue as before both at work and at home. You know what they say "There never was a problem with out change" so something must have changed.
