For some odd reason when I type a message in the message box in Yahoo Messenger the characters go out side of the box and I cant read what I typed until I hit return. Then its to late to correct any spelling that I have wrong..Also When I try to use smilies they come up as characters not face e.g. 🙂 or :-), and I used to get faces..
Thanks in advanced…
Hi Jay_bird…I’ve never seen that before, but I think a little more information would help all of us to answer your question better. What are you running? (Mac, Windows (9X, ME, 2000, Xp….) What version of Yahoo! are you using? If it’s a REALLY old version this may be the reason for your problem. You may have to upgrade to a higer version…not necessarily the latest version (some people don’t like that one.)
Also, does it happen with EVERY person or just some people. Once we have this info we can help you! 🙂Hate to break it to you but the older versions will no longer work soon. Anyway, I doubt jay bird is on a really old version because as he said, he used to get faces. Sounds to me like your install went wrong somewhere (assuming you installed the new messenger). If that’s not the case, then your computer is just screwed up 🙂
Ok, try uninstalling it then going to http://messenger.yahoo.com and redownloading/installing it. Maybe you had the old Yahoo! Messenger running during installation the first time?
