I cant add contacts on Yahoo Messenger?

Hi, I am having trouble adding contacts on yahoo messenger (version 11.5) When I try to add anyone I get the following message. "There was an error in the server while trying to add a contact. Please try again" As I am asking this question you may gather that I have tried again, and again, and again. I have tried several different contacts, all with the same result.I have uninstalled and re installed messenger but this did not work either

Can anyone help?

Update:

Thanks for the answer Riki, but it is the same answer you gave when I asked this question elsewhere, the fact that I am asking it again would suggest that your answer did not help the first time

    Possibly a glitch however depending on your version there should be at least a couple of places in the messenger window to to add contacts, check them out, click contacts top line in the messenger window or click add contact below your avatar, also check the lower left corner then follow the prompts to add someone to your friend's list.
