I was using pidgin 2.5.2 in slackware 12.2. But today my pidgin can’t connect again. So a few months earlier my pidgin change the yahoo server setting because it can’t connect too. The yahoo change its sever to improve themselve.

Today I suspected my pidgin need to be upgraded to 2.6.6. So I download the pidgin and install it. But I also change the server setting to
Basic : Yahoo
And that’s it I can connect again to my yahoo account.
