Pidgin 2.5.8 is now out with many fixes for the 2.5.7 issues. Available in my PPA and pidgin-developers.
NB: new paging server is scsa.msg.yahoo.com

Nope… Did not work for me and this issue is rather upsetting.

cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com Is the way to go. Thanks for the help all!

cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com is working on my Ubuntu 9.04.

Thanks for this massive help. How do you “know” what url to use?

looks like if you do fedora, you are s.o.l. until latest pidgin update. i note from lots of google that this scenario pops every couple years.

I tried it, and it worked for a few days, many thanks!!

Then it stopped working, alas. Probably Yahoo changed again.

Could you do again what you did to discover that fix, or better yet, say how you found it? Thanks again!
