Some of us( or maybe all of us) we log in to the yahoo chess room where our bot is, using the regular yahoo java interface. We do this to "monitor" our bot due to the lack of graphics interface in YtoICS.
Advance Lounge is always full and we have to use some of the many backdoor sites out there.
I never liked this. It gives me the freeaks not knowing what type of information about me or my computer is being capture( or not) by these sites. So, just in case I developed my own back doors.
For example,to create a direct access link to advance lounge(chess_adv) create a new shortcut in your desktop.Then enter this in the first window that pops up:
http://profiles.games.yahoo.com/games/ante?room=chess_adv&prof_id=chat_pf_1&nosignedcab=yes, click next and name it Advance(or whatever).
For this to work you need to be already logged in to yahoo with your browser. Please make note that you will be logged to that room as specified for the number in "chat_pf_1". 1 is for the main ID, and numbers other than 1 are profiles(assuming the user had created profiles).
Actually, if you click in the link showed in this message, it will take you to Advance Lounge. Go ahead, test it.
Aditionally, you can drag and drop the shortcut in your browser's links bar.
Cheers.
