Missing audio alerts in Yahoo Messenger?I do not get any alerts (neither audio nor pop-up) when any of my friends login/logoff from Yahoo Messenger. Most of the time they appear online long after they have signed out, and i have to sign out and sign in again which is annoying. This would indeed be annoying. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to fix this problem, if your configuration is what I think it is with Yahoo Messenger. Start up the application, it'll look like this:  Now, click on the Preferences option in the Messenger menu along the top:  and you'll be take to Preferences for the application. The second of the options is "Alerts & Sounds" and that's what you want to check. Here's how I have mine set:  The key is to ensure that you have "Enable alert sounds" and/or "Showing a message at the bottom right corner of the screen" (or both). If you have both set, then I suspect that your buddy list is messed up and/or your preferences are messed up. In that case, you might try uninstalling the application then reinstalling it again. Good luck!
