Yahoo! Chat on Safari

[kukheart]

Yahoo Chat on my Safari won't work, does anyone know why? I can chat on there with IE, but I'd really like to use it in Safari. Any help would be great, thanks!

Are you getting the message "General chat error" after the interface loads? That's what I'm getting. I have no idea what's causing it, but I do have an error dump from console.log:

It never has

All the time I have had Safari I have never been able to get it to work with Yahoo Chat, the only browser that does in my experience is IE but thats crpa as you know.
