This is pretty simple, you aren't using yahoo messenger, you are being pm'ed "private message" thru yahoo games which is java. The other person could be pm'ing you thru java via the game server, or they could be im'ing you thru messenger "instant message", or they could be sending you a message from your profile, not sure what it would be thru, possibly java again. Usually they pm you thru the games server, this is done by double clicking on any name in the lobby, or by clicking once on any name at your table. I hate pm's they are really annoying if your trying to play a game or anything else, everytime someone sends another message it shows up on top of your screen, unless you have it minimized. On your game room options you can set them to only receive messages from friends, and that might stop them.
I have noticed that in java its always called a private message, and when it's not java it's called an instant message. Another thing is that some ids just don't seem to ever get the pm's, so if you are trying to talk to someone with them and you get no response, that doesn't mean that they are ignoring you, but they might be. Something funny, if you try to ignore yourself in a gameroom it will tell you "You cannot ignore yourself" lmao
