Comment (by ewestland):

 Good morning,

 I don't seem to be able to get a Yahoo or AOL chatrooms working (version
 2.1.1 and 2.0.2). In early August, I was able to connect to Yahoo
 chatrooms, but now nothing happens. I can browse to the room (Tools ->
 roomlist -> My Yahoo Acct -> Get List -> Region -> US -> SF Bay Area ->
 "San Francisco Bay Area:100" -> Join. Nothing seems to happen. The log
 sometimes mentiones, "Writing file prefs.xml", but mentions nothing about
 the connection. The AOL connection seemed to try harder, but I get busted.

 AOL (Soul and R&B:91 Exchange: 5)
 (02:50:50) oscar: creating room Soul and R&B:91
 (02:50:50) oscar: snac threw error (reason 0x000e: Busted SNAC payload)

 Yahoo ("San Francisco Bay Area:8")
 No debug info

 I am running XP professional sp2 and using Belkin PreN router to front a
 Motorola cable modem. I have connected wireless/wired, to no avail.

 Do chatrooms work reliably on Linux and/or Windows? I am planning to start
 tinkering with a utility using libpurple, but need chatroom support.

 Thoughts?

 Thanks in advance,
 Erik
