pidgin and other multi-messeger yahoo connection problem

without comments

Pidgin stopped connecting to yahoo few days ago. I googled a lot about this. And i found the solution for this shit:

replace standard scs.msg.yahoo.com with cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com

Replacing hostname by IP will still not work, as described in a post on yahoo answers. After replacing standard hostname for connection with the other one, just uncheck-recheck the yahoo account and it will work.
