The YahElite Chat Client can be found at their homepage: http://www.yahelite.org/

Click on DownLoad YahElite Full (Next to the word FREE ).

Once saved, open your 'My Documents' folder, then double click on the icon to install it.

After the Installation is Complete

Click on the YahElite Icon (Located on your Desk Top) to bring up the program.
You will see 2 screens,
One says "Login and Connect to Chat”

Click "Load Account Information"wait till the program says" Authenticating (your account name)

OK (edit.yahoo.com) Loading Aliases...Done.

Leave that alone!
This is the server connection you want.
Click "Connect".
The Program will connect and put you into a random Chat Room. You may then enter the Chat Room of your choice.

Click on the lower Right side of the Program that states the room you are currently in.
Click that once and a box will come up that says "Recent Rooms”

Click on /Knock , YahElite will now start Knocking your Name into your desired Room.

Private Messaging to Avoid getting booted on Yahoo:

On the Top of YahElite Click on "Options "
Scroll down and Click on "Private Messaging "
A New Window will Pop up, and will say:
" Only allow Pm’s if they say the Magic Word" and "When someone Pm’s without the Magic word Say"
Uncheck those two Boxes.
On the Right side of the Window from top to bottom there should be a check in the following boxes:
( 1 )- Ignore pm’s and url’s from non friends
( 2 )- Popup a pm box on in coming Pm’s
( 3 )- Always accept pm’s from Friends
( 4 )- Restrict pm’s to Friends Only

NOTE:
To View your REJECTED Pm’s, on the Bottom of YaHElite you will see a listing of Options
Click on Rejects to View your Rejected PM’s. (See illustrationbelow)

To Activate Voice in the Room

Just above the typing area you will see some Icons such as a Smiley Face, etc.
Click on the one that Looks like an Old Radio Microphone, a window called YahVox should appear and "connect”,
If this doesn’t happen, you can click here to get YahVox.exe
Download the YahVox.exe and place it in the YahElite Folder in your Computer
(This is on your C drive in your Programs Folder), then sound should work fine.   

To ignore someone on voice/room

     Simply double click on the persons name and a red “X” will appear next to it. If at any time you wish to hear that person simply double click again to make the “X” disappear. If a person leaves the room with the “X” next to their name, when they return it will still be there with the “X” next to it.

     *To completely ignore someone you must ignore them on voice if they are on it AND in the room list to avoid seeing their text. Ignoring their text can be done by right clicking on the individuals name and choosing the ignore option.

To Prevent Being Lagged on Voice

Save it to your desktop, then unzip it
( Follow the instructions for insstallation ) and you will Never be lagged on Voice or lock up again.

If You Are Getting Booted

1 Dash, 2 Dashes, 3 Dashes, click on the 3 Dashes (Strong Spam Filtering) this will make their attempt Futile.

To Activate Your WebCam

Simply click on the icon that resembles a typical webcam in order for it to activate.
If you are having a problem with YahShow you may return to the website and download YahShow
Install it in your C-Drive/Programs/YahEhlite folder.

*If this does not solve your problem*

First start your webcam.
Log on to Yahoo at chat.yahoo.com.
Enter chat area and click, continue.
Once you find a room to enter of your choice, click on "Chat Tools”.
" Chat tools” is located on the left hand side below the words Yahoo Chat.
Click on start webcam and it should be running and you will not have to begin using your cam this way again.
You may now exit the chat room and sign on again to YahElite and will have access to your cam.

Miscellaneous

To the left of the word “typing area” you will see:

1) a black dot, used for regular typing so fonts of your choice will show up in room

2) 3 small blue circles which ALWAYS make your print show in blue as a thought    unless un-clicked

3) a heart  which will be shown as an emotion

     The other tabs located on the bottom are duplicates to those commands available on top in various other tabs. These are shortcuts.The marquee is used to notify you when people enter or leave the room you are in. This will also provide you with names of those that are spamming, booting, and those whom you put on ignore or make reappear. If the marquee no longer moves, you may easily start it again just by clicking on it. One the top of YahElite click on Info, Documentation, Commands, this will Bring up a list of Commands on how to add a buddy to your Buddy List or Remove yourself from someone elses Buddy list etc.
      Many things can be done by right-clicking on a person’s name from the room list as well.
Play with the Program. It has many fun features that are not available on other chat clients.
