help needed getting started

[Eion Robb]

Hi Wade,

Yahoo shouldn't be listed as a protocol as the old prpl was retired.  There
was a new prpl "Yahoo (2016)" which can be downloaded from
https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins#AdditionalProtocols but
that will stop working in July when they turn off that new service.

Cheers,
Eion
