The fuckers at Yahoo did it again! I’m trying to work here!

Oh yeah - if you actually use Yahoo Messenger, you better upgrade your client soon, or you’ll find yourself in my boat as well.

Slashdot | Yahoo Changes Protocol, Blocks Third Party Clients:

…Yahoo is once again blocking connections from Trillian (the alternative multi-protocol client). Yahoo tried this a few times last year and it looks like they’re trying again. … A quick fix discovered late this evening: Change your Y!IM host from scs.msg.yahoo.com to scs.yahoo.com, port 5050, and it should work. This is on Trillian 0.74H, not Pro.
