Does anyone remember the sparkles that was possible to add to private messages a couple of year ago?
I still have the URL thingy to put before typing, but it doesn’t work anymore 🙁
Does anyone of you know if there is something like that around?

This was not a feature, but a serious bug.

While on the top, it looked all pretty, could post images and sparkles, those who wanted to go further could post executable code that would run on your own PC, they could embed other things, could embed iframes, they could start a download without your consent etc…

For this reason, it was quickly patched by Yahoo! Messenger, and nothing similar exists.
