You need to sign in first, then add or find contacts to chat. If they are offline you need to send him/her a message.

I think this may be a Yahoo! Messenger-wide problem, as my friend (in Virginia, USA) and I (in Germany) experienced the same problem yesterday.

You may want to try sending a message/email to yahoo tech support. Anyway, what's the response of the program when you try to log in? There may be times that the connection configuration is the problem or the program itself is corrupted. You can also try reinstalling it. :)

You might have a virus in your computer. I have an aunt in Doha and we are able to communicate through YMessenger.
