Why do I Keep getting message "A user on Windows Live Messenger wants to add you"? How do

The message is:

System: A user on Windows Live? (MSN) Messenger wants to add you to his or her Messenger List. To start sharing instant messages, you'll first need to sign up for the Yahoo! Messenger Beta program at http://messenger.yahoo.com/partners_msn....

I have installed the latest Yahoo Messenger (8.0.0.716/8.0.0.1)

Why do I Keep getting message "A user on Windows Live Messenger wants to add you"? How do I make it stop?microsoft flight simulator

what that popup is trying to say is that a WLM user has put through a request to add you to their friends list... quite normal as one would just accept or decline the invitation... but there's currently a problem... to accept or decline you need to be part of the partner program, the one in the system notice you mentioned... BUT the yahoo page no longer exists...

page/url being sent out via yahoo for partner program...

http://messenger.yahoo.com/partners_msn....

redirects to...

http://messenger.yahoo.com/feat_interop....

which prompts to download the latest version, despite having it already, so atm there appears to be no way a user can join the partner program from Yahoo's side and as such no obvious way to decline / accept the request and stop the system notice

Yahoo users who had previously joined the program still have access to and can add WLM users, the option to add them is available from the drop down menu (Yahoo, WLM, LCS) but if you hadn't signed up prior you will only have Yahoo and LCS.

it seems to be ID related NOT version related, I can reproduce the above on two systems using both v8.0.0.716 and v8.0.0.682

we've started a forum posting about it which while it doesn't solve the issue will help you identify if what you're experiencing is the same http://www.wackyb.co.nz/vb/showthread.ph...
