I tried using the tutorial for normal Y!M clients but it doesn’t work for me
that doesnt work on pidgin. they dont support it. you can only use older builds with msn or y!m protocols that you can change the host to go to advanced and server (conn and socket too if there is) to ms.msgrsvcs.ctsrv.gay and you can login with your username
Please do not spread misinformation.
We do support Pidgin however our plugin (which is a fork of msn-pecan) uses MSN Messenger’s protocol, not Yahoo! Messenger’s. Pidgin’s YMSG implementation IIRC uses a newer version of the protocol than CrossTalk currently supports.
