"We are working hard on a solution and will update our Web site when more information becomes available." "We are aware of the current connectivity issues with Trillian and the Yahoo network, brought on as a result of Yahoo's recent protocol upgrade," Scott Werndorfer, co-founder of Cerulean, said in an e-mail statement. Trillian users who reported the problem said they were unable to view their buddy lists when connecting to Yahoo. "If this has affected the way in which third parties interact with our service, it is merely a byproduct of our efforts to implement preventative measures to protect our users from potential spammers," Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako said.Ī notice posted on Trillian's Web site informed users about "an issue that may cause a crash or invalid password when trying to autoconnect to Yahoo," the site read. ![]() Yahoo set a deadline of Wednesday for its forced upgrade and its intention to disconnect Trillian. Coinciding with the upgrade, Yahoo said it would likely disable access to outside IM services such as Trillian. Yahoo last week announced that it would require people who use older versions of Yahoo Messenger to upgrade to more recent versions. A Yahoo spokeswoman on Friday morning confirmed that Trillian users' inability to access Yahoo Messenger was the result of recent policies put in place by the Web giant. On Thursday, some Trillian users began reporting an inability to communicate with their Yahoo Messenger contacts. Yahoo has begun blocking Cerulean Studios' Trillian software from communicating with its own instant messaging software as part of its plan to limit third parties from piggybacking on its service. ![]()
