Brian: 

Thank you for your direction! I guess it's the Yahoo problem. Filezilla stopped working at about the same time - but different issues, I guess. Google IM seems to be working fine! 


Thank you, 

- Jackie

I'm posting this to the pidgin support list, you obviously replied to me 
direct in error.

Then you need to follow the instructions here: 

http://www.pidgin.im/download/fedora_core/ 

and once you have the .repo file installed then do a "yum update 
pidgin" and that should fix it. 

Yahoo doesn't work because the protocol has been changed. You're also 
running a very old Pidgin version. Not to mention a very old Fedora 
version too.
