How come I can't get into the chat rooms?

How can I speed up getting into chat rooms seems majority of the time I cant get in chat rooms.?

  • Alway get the error, Entering chat took longer than expected please try again later. seems like it takes forever to get response from yahoo chat entering a chat room. just down loaded messenger 8.1 is there a problem with it?

  • Answer:

    i just tried it for myself and got the same message. i was using 8.1 but went to an older version but still getting same message. it must be a yahoo glitch and we will have to wait for yahoo to fix the problems. you could try turning off any firewalls you have to see if that fixes up your problem.

LONG DELAYS GETTING INTO CHAT ROOMS AND SWITCHING ROOMS You are not alone, and the problem is affecting everybody. The reason it is happening is because the yahoo servers are screwed up and it would not matter what version of Yahoo messenger you are using or what chat client. If you keep trying, you should eventually be able to get into the chat room. Yahoo is aware of the problem, and supposedly is going to have it fixed by mid-May. I use a third party chat client, called Yazak. Now this delay affects all third part chat clients as well as yahoo messenger because they run on the yahoo servers as well. But there is a knocking feature that keeps trying to enter a room you cannot get into over and over again depending upon the number of knocks you set it to. There is a downside to this, some times once you get into the room, you will get pulled out again. But I'm willing to keep trying until I can stay in the room. I also once I get into the room, change both the knocking numbers to zero. To cancel it out. http://www.carolisayazakuser.com/helppage/changerooms.htm Above is a screen shot in the tutorial for Yazak. On the screenshot in the lower right of the Join Room window are the 2 numbers used in knocking labeled "Retry Room if Full time period." The first box is the time period between knocks and the second is the number of knocks it will send out. I usually use 10 for the first number and keep the the second as 15. Again once you get into the room change the numbers to zero. This may help prevent you from getting pulled out of the room again.

It is the yahoo chat servers that are filled with bots and stuff. They are overloaded and really slow. Everybody is having the same problem You just have to keep trying and eventually you'll get into a room.
