Have yahoo started some kind of a chat thingy?

[sandyRoe]

Every time I open Yahoo mail a pop up appears telling me someone or other wants to add me as a contact. I don't know them and certainly don't want any contact either.

I've no idea - I don't get that with my Yahoo pages.

Just got another one, Yahoo Messenger apparently.

its been around for quite a long while - i get a lot of random chat requests though form strangers...though i do have a few people i chat to on it that i know.

if you get random, block them as well as decline then, as they keep trying

They're 10 or 15 years too late then. Pity...

if you dont want it, there is an option somewhere to appear offline
