Solution to "Server is busy" on Yahoo webcam

[Steve]

Been all over trying to find a solution to this problem. Found a suggestion on this board that using a different name may work. Did that and it did. but I like my other name too .... then I realised. I had logged in using the form A_Name_Like_This. Yahoo lets you log on like that but the cam server doesnt. Course every time you log in after that you use the capital letters and it falls over again. Changed mine to the form a_name_like_this (no caps) and it has been fine ever since. So simple yet so difficult to spot.
Hope this helps others

WOW...you are a new member and my new best friend. The server thing just happened to me...I read your post and I noticed I inadvertantly typed a cap. in my name. I logged out and logged back in with lower case letters...and I am broadcasting! THANKS! :X

hi there, it doesn't work, other solution?

No. This is purely Yahoo's issue... which they haven't/won't fix.

click > Messenger,> Privacy Options,

uncheck all except >Idle Status and >Allow plug-ins to set clickable messages.

I don't see how modifying plugins' ability will change the status will somehow 'fix' the server-side issues with webcams?
