Messenger is not working with the new Yahoo mail upgrade?

If I click on "compose an instant message" it first says "Yahoo messenger is loading", I click OK Then nothing. Then if I click on compose again I get "Sorry, but Yahoo! Messenger is currently unavailable. Please try again later". I have never had a problem with Messenger prior to this new mail system. My online contacts used to be in the left hand column along with my folders and contacts etc. Now it’s nowhere to be seen, I can't tell if it loaded or I'm logged in and its not listed in the applications. In the upper left of the screen it shows my name and this is where I am supposed to be able to set my messenger status, but I don’t get any options for availability like , invisible away etc. So I can tell by this that Messenger is not running. FYI, I am talking about the Yahoo Mail web interface, it used to have messenger built in. I am not talking about the stand alone Yahoo Messenger program, so don’t tell me to reinstall anything, because you can’t re-install a web based mail interface. Messenger is supposed to be integrated, it gives an option for it, but it won’t load/work. I know others are having the same problem, but thus far no one has provided a solution. I checked the other yahoo answers posts.

1. the same thing is happening to me.
2. yeah man its pissin me off it works for about 30 seconds then signs out, if you hit available itll work for another 30 seconds and just sign you out again. yahoo is always doin shit like this, its starting to get on my nerves.
3. This new Yahoo Mail interface still has some bugs in it. Just today I noticed that they changed the formats of the moving folder button, I thought it was some kind of recycling trash can LOL give it about a week or at the most 10 days then contact Yahoo support for help. There is a chance they might not even be aware of this particular issue for many people, you never know. A lot of times when ever a program upgrades itself most users have seemingly no problems but there are always take a couple of hundred that do it right now you're one of those 100 people but it should be fixed soon
