As of June 17, 2009, Pidgin users are having trouble connecting to Yahoo! IM accounts. Here is a summary of the problem:
Yahoo! appears to be upgrading their servers to a new version of their software. This new version requires a new authentication method. The latest version of Pidgin, 2.5.6, does not support this new authentication method. The next version, 2.6.0, will, but it has not yet been released.
only way to fix this bad boy. PLUS shut down and restart after doing the regedit change
Access the registry under the following location on your computer:

And click Ok to save the value. Close the window if its open and double
click the ActiveSync icon and the window should appear correctly.

Today, using the PortableApps.com package of Google Chrome 11.0.696.14 Dev, I installed Chrome and tried to install the proxy-anywhere-extension. It wouldn't install on the first try, but the error message said to start Chrome with the command line option --enable-experimental-extension-apis. Once I did that, the extension installed. It took me a couple of tries to get the options right (Socks4, Localhost, 8080, autostart). Also, once I clicked SAVE button, I thought it would just start proxying, but I had to shut down and restart Chrome and THEN it worked. The extension works nicely now for me and just needs a good bit of polish. I hope to see new features soon! Also for the API to be included in the release builds!
