I have iChat set up with the Yahoo Messenger protocol. Every time I log in, or suspend/resume my machine, it prompts me to respond to the same 3 Yahoo Messenger buddy requests. I always hit "decline", dismissing the dialogs, but it doesn't seem to stick. Is there a way to fix this?
This is iChat v6.0.1, with Lion
In more than one case now, it looks like multiple copies of the name will show up. You have to either check the buddy picture or other features (for example, video chat doesn't show up for Facebook) to determine which network you are contacting them on.
You will need to sign up for a Yahoo! account by going here.
Once you have done that, you can configure Yahoo Messenger in iChat by doing the following:

Sadly, the problem lays in the chat protocol between the Mac and Yahoo.
The only solution I've found is to log on with a Window's machine using the latest Y!M client and doing the decline/ignore there.
I was up to 15 messages requests between my two acts every time I woke my Mac from sleep. Going to the Yahoo client on Windows cleared this up entirely.
