How do I get into the Yahoo chatrooms?

Still can't get in Yahoo chatrooms?

• Well its 10/02/2010 now and I haven't been able to get into the chatrooms for days now. I thought the site was down but some friends of mine are now able to get into the chatrooms through their messenger like before but I still can't get in. When I try to get in I just get the room loading screen and then when i click the icon to enter chat it just freezes there and never goes to the captcha screen. I can see people are back on cause many of the rooms have alot of people in them now so how come its still down for me? Anyone else still having the same issue?

• Answer:

  It hates you. Before anything else, restart your computer and see if that fixes it. I suggest you reinstall your browser and any involved plugins, like Java. But if you aren't the sort for creating clean slates like yours truly, first try clearing your cache. You can Google how to do so for each respective browser. If that doesn't work, reinstall/update Java and such plugins. If that doesn't work, clean slate. If that doesn't work, contact Yahoo and ask them if you've been banned from the chat servers. If that comes back negative, reinstall your operating system.
