Hi … Does anyone know why you can’t find any longer older version yahoo messenger ? I know it has something to do with yahoo new policy but I don’t know what this policy is all about or why it would matter to use a older version , I myself like 5.5 versions and don’t care for the newer crap , So does anyone know why yahoo did this ? Thanks

ThanksHi Terryfox and Welcome to BBB!
Well one reason is due to competition, as IM softwares tend to outclass each other with new features whenever a new version is released.
And due to the rapid changes in IM applications, many “builds” were released that supporting all of them would be impractical. Besides newer builds are released to “enhance” the previous ones.
Also, different versions uses different protocol, Y!M 7 now uses ymsg13, Y!M6 uses ymsg12, thus using one protocol for their messenger is practical right?However, if you want older Y!M version, check this site.
Hi Migs … Thanks for the welcome …. I am curious when did freecreed get back all the older version again ? Because for awhile there they too remove all their older version
