yahoo problems revisited

Ok, I know that these problems have been brought in question before, but I haven't seen any solutions:

1) How do I create multiple chats on yahoo accounts? I haven't succeeded in doing this no matter what I try. Also this multiple chat thing on adium I think it is not very good, I can barely create chats on MSN. on MSN to create a proper multiple chat I have to click on "initiate Multiple user........." and then after I invite everyone I have to click on "Invite to chat......" with everybody again.

2) Is there something that I can use to see the "yahoo avatars" of some of my contacts that use this feature?

3) I am not able to send or to receive files from yahoo users.

4) Any voice messaging soon for adium?

Just initiate the chat with one person and add persons. I think you can drag them to the list, otherwise you will have to invite them.
I don't think (though not sure) there are any changes planned for a near future.

You mean the contact images? They should work. Or is it something different? Maybe your contact list style doesn't show the images, but in most chat-window styles you should see them.

A lot of File-Transfer issues are adressed with the next update.

*sigh* the answer is written all over the forum, all over the wiki, all over the blog. The answer is no.

The dragging doesn't work. I can't drag a contact. State please a correct way to create a multiple chat with yahoo contacts.

No, I mean this kind of avatars: http://avatars.yahoo.com/

Avatars aren't supported IIRC and would require libgaim support first.
