Hello this is my first Pidgin plugin and I have a question(s) about setting it up right in Windows.

I added the 2 .dlls mentioned in README into the right folders, downloaded the ZIP, and put the folder that was in the ZIP into the Pidgin\Plugins folder.

Pidgin gave me the Yahoo 2016 option in the pulldown (no red Y icon after the Yahoo 2016 option). It did take my user name and password and had me sign into messenger.yahoo from my browser, but I can not send IMs, and when I try to add or message a user it shows the right user name in the Account: area, but displays a 30-digit random character string above it (all in caps).

Thanks in advance for the help, and for a Plugin definitely needed. Thanks. Sincerely,
