Cannot Sign Into Yahoo Instant Messenger

[Mitchell]

I would greatly appreciate if someone could offer me advice about what to do in regard to Yahoo Instant Messenger. Last night, everything was fine. This afternoon, I had to turn my computer off, due to the fact that I heard a possible Thunderstorm would be happening. When I came home, I restarted my computer, and tried to sign back into Yahoo IM, and I keep getting an "invalid ID and password message". I called Comcast tech support, my ISP, and the tech support gentleman who I spoke to was unable to help me. Every time I try to sign into Yahoo IM, it either does not sign in, or it automatically activates my defunct AOL program, and starts signing me onto AOL, which I do not want. I do not know who to contact about this problem, and, as of now, I cannot talk to anyone via instant message, because Yahoo IM is the only instant message I have. If anyone has any advice about what I might do, please post here, email me at [email protected], or pm me on forum. Thank You!

This thread can be disregarded or removed if the mods choose. I just went into the chat, and found out from about 20 people in there that Yahoo IM is having a general problem where no one can sign in. Apparently, all of the people I spoke to in the chat just now cannot sign into Yahoo IM either. Hopefully they can get this fixed soon. Anyhow, just wanted to post an update for anyone who might be having the same problem.

It's back now, for anyone who hasnt tried. Last night I was pcing with a friend in the chat, and then we were able to go to Yahoo, and talked there the rest of the night. I also signed in to Yahoo this morning, so everything seems fine now.
