Yahoo Patch Beta 1 for Trillian Pro 2.0 Released

Advertisement (Why?)

It appears Cerulean Studios may have fixed the recently discovered Yahoo! Messenger connection problem that caused Trillian to crash on Yahoo! authentication. The patch is still in beta although it appears to work fine for most but others are having problems with it. The patch can be downloaded from the members area of CS web site but it will only work for Trillian Pro 2.0 users at this point.

Here is the message that reads in the members area of CS web site:

A beta version of a patch to fix the recent Yahoo! connectivity issue is now available for Trillian Pro 2.0 users. Please test this patch and let us know if you experience difficulty; this patch may not work for all users. We will issue final patches for 2.0, 1.0 and .74 as soon as we're confident everything is functioning 100%.

If you are still having problems with the patch, go to file > connections > connections manager > hit the yahoo connection > hit preferences > connection > change scs.yahoo.com to scs.msg.yahoo.com in the host field.

I've been using Trillian pro since version 1. LOVE IT!
I installed the patch and it restored my connection to Yahoo, but I don't use
yahoo 99% of the time. I usually use the aol/aim & msn to chat.
I don't even have msn loaded on my computer or AIM.
Multiconnectivity is the best way to go. Why have 4 or 5 chat programs running
when you only have to have 1
