You are not the only one. Used it this morning to make a call then all of a sudden it closed down and I have not been able to get it back yet. And of course there is no coustomer service help at night. Bet there won't be any on Sunday either. Also noticed I can not get into the email either.

The same thing for me. This has been happening more frequently. It is not my proxy settings; not my firewall; not my ISP. Worked fine for a couple hours then poof. Do you think I can find an FAQ or "contact us" link where we can communicate with Yahoo IM? Nooooooooo. Is there a tech support number? Noooooooooo. Anyone have any ideas?

This site has a bunch of numbers to call, but they are not available now it seems. 1-866-800-8092, 1-866-781-9246, 1-800-318-0654 and another is 1-619-881-3096,

Unbelievable. This is a problem isn't it? Anyone know what's happening? Hours without IM. Makes me want to switch back to AIM.

AIM won't help me I use the messenger to call my boyfriend in the caribbean, so they have my money on top of it all!! This is the longest it has not worked for me. can you acess your yahoo mail?

Yes, I can get into yahoo email. I cannot get on to yahoo instant messenger. I live in the US and was on for a few hours today then poof. I've been unable to log on for the last 8 hours.

Does anyone know what's happening? Any tech advisories? Is Instant Messenger down? Expected to be up anytime soon?

messenger is up and running again. I too am in the states.
