Limitations

Tips & Tricks
In order to keep your ID connected, I prefer the followings:
- Disable "Auto lock" in Settings, since once your device is in locked sate, all network connections will be terminated (just for iOS 3.x and below).
- With iOS 4.x and above, since Y!Room ver 1.8 it's now much easier! Just turn on multitasking, that's all. Connection will NOT be closed even device is locked, and just enjoy the application as you are on PC!

Live Online Chat
Hi,
Recently I came across some great articles on your site.
The other day, I was discussing (http://yahoochatroomiphone.blogspot.in/2011/10/yroom-yahoo-room-chat-on-iphoneipad.html)with my colleagues and they suggested I submit an article of my own. Your site is just perfect for what I have written!
Would it be ok to submit the article? It is free of charge, of course!
Let me know what you think
