Why is my status displaying that I'm playing games?

You can set your status to either show or hide when you are playing a game on the Yahoo! Games web site:

  1. Click the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "Preferences."
  2. Select the "Privacy" category.
  3. Locate the "Change my status" section and make sure the option "Playing a game on the Yahoo! Games web site" is checked.
  4. Click the "OK" button at the bottom of the window.

Please Note: Uncheck the option to hide that you are playing a game on the Yahoo! Games web site.

Where's the Contact Customer Care button? With so many improvements to Messenger since the version you're using (lots more features and reliability), we figured you're ready to move up. So get your upgrade and with the new version, rest assured if you have questions, you’ll find that friendly button on its help pages.
