Thanks Damiano Dallatana. I could have just created a new pidgin account and found out myself, but I didn't think of it then.
clombard, please stop shouting (caps off). Like I said earlier: if you had previously changed the server settings they migrated to the new pidgin. Update the address to scsa.msg.yahoo.com and update pidgin if you haven't already. This was not a linux problem, it was a yahoo change, everyone not using ymessinger was affected. -- Yahoo server authentication changed: Pidgin =<2.5.6 will not connect to Yahoo! servers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389322 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
