hi, i tried to set my online staus checker through your steps.but in the 4th step” check this box to hide my online status from other users”i didn’t really find that box there.so what should i do now?
Yahoo constantly updates their site, the instructions are no longer valid since the site changed. What you can do is simple, close your yahoo application
Yahoo unfortunately is a piece of cr4p from an usability point of view, the interface is next to impossible to navigate and get through, it’s just a total mess. My recommendation to everyone, move to gmail + google talk, it’s easier, faster, and you have full access to all features for free.
