It seems that yahoo has figured out whatever we've been trying to log in and have disabled those methods as well. If anyone knows of any client that can still log in, please tell me.

Hehehe... that is not hard is it, now?
1. What you are doing is open sourced ... anyone who wants downloads and reads the code.
2. People from yahoo lurk - and post - here - esp those involved in this latest build of messenger.
It is quite likely that, if instructed by yahoo to do so, they will find it pretty trivial to "figure out" what you are doing and switch things around. I think they figure "do this often enough and wait for the open source IM clients to get tired of it" :)

Well, they don't just lurk. Some of them are pretty active on some of the other lists - gtkyahoo and libyahoo at least.
Of course, I don't think they had to look at the code either. I've had to post procedure on the lists because the code used by everybuddy is so different from that used by the others.

Another possibility is that Winduhs user will get tired of having to upgrade the `official' messenger software evry two weeks and give up on Yahoo altogether. I doubt if Yahoo can change its protocol that often, unless their own messenger mutates from time to time (remember AOL leaving a buffer overflow in their AIM client so that they could tweak it remotely?)

kyahoo just now worked for me at 5.15 pm but then my kyahoo fails to start 9 out of 10 times reason which i believe its installation gone awry.
so it might be that yahoo did not block all other clients/protocols

nope, kyahoo (or kyim as it is now known) doesn't work. The Kyim developers have also been part of this thread.
