Yahoo! Messenger Connects But No Longer Updates The Status Of Users

I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook both with 10.5.8 and both with Yahoo! Messenger version 3 Beta 4. When I first log in, all online friends status is updated and correct. As users log in, log out, go idle, go mobile etc the Yahoo application does not update their status. I can log out and log back in to update the list but my online friends get irritated with me when I do that every half hour or so.
I have reinstalled, deleted preferences, repaired permissions, chanted and tried to ignore it. Nothing worked so far.
Anyone else having this problem?

I'm having problems with Yahoo Messenger but it's different from yours. Anyway here it is (just in case someone's experiencing the same problem with me).
Since I updated to 10.5.8 (from 10.5.7) I noticed that my Yahoo Messenger won't show my image. I tried checking it a gazillion times to make sure that I didn't select "None" as my Display Image. However, if I chose Avatar (cartoony image that you can customize via Yahoo) it's working, I can see it and my friends too. I also noticed that when I click Browse and choose a certain picture it shows in the Preference Window but not on the actual Yahoo Messenger Window. I've tried selecting .jpg .png .gif versions hoping it would do the trick, but it didn't. I've deleted the cache and the application, reinstalled (YM 3.0 Beta) but my picture still won't show.
Would downgrading solve the problem?
