Okay well recently i noticed something with the yahoo messenger beta 7.0. When you type the word search the other person just sees the letter s. Two friends typed “Go s” to me and i was like what? When they were trying to say “Go search” I was wondering why this happens, anyone know? Below is how it looks from both receiver and sender.
June 13, 2005 at 7:17 pm #108001Jeff HesterKeymasterAre you also using Yahoo! Messenger 7.0 Beta or Version 6.0?
EDIT: Err nevermind I saw the picture. Hmm I wasn’t aware of this option. All I can say is that it probably is a beta bug.
June 13, 2005 at 7:50 pm #108006Eagle_KiwiMemberI’m puzzled, HatedJ.
At first I was astonished, but delighted you’d found a neat new “quirk” for us all… but then… of course, I had to try for myself – and MY YM 7.0.0.247 doesn’t have that quirk!
(Like your example, I just tried IMing myself, and everything echoes back exactly as I’d expect).So… maybe it’s just “you” ? 😉 … or perhaps it’s related to some other Yahoo-related prog you use ?? (I just have the plain vanilla YM – no “third-party” gizmos).
I wonder if others can duplicate that behaviour ?

Hm, well if this doesn’t happen to anyone else, then i guess it is just “me.” I have no third-party applications. I shall try to figure out why it does that then.
June 13, 2005 at 8:57 pm #108003ToeBeeMemberIt has happend to me a few times. I have no idea why it happends. It seems totally random. I just decided it was somthing wrong with my settings and didn’t really worry about. I guess it wasn’t just me…
June 13, 2005 at 9:17 pm #108002amy_d_gParticipanthmm thats odd… it works with me too. I played around a bit, and on mine, it seems if I type the letters “searc” with ANY other letters after it, the whole thing just shows as an s. If I type “searcimunybrtvefgrtujhntertgbngtnynhhgn” it only shows as an s.
Had someone using version 6 IM me and it showed the whole word “search”.
June 13, 2005 at 9:20 pm #108005NessaParticipantWhen i message someone the word search that is using version 6.0, they see the whole word, it only happens when they send me that word, or as amy pointed out anything containing “searc” shows up as s.
