UPDATE: August 15, 2002
The beta is over and 5.5 is officially released. You can download the new version (for Windows) here:http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/dinstructions.html
And to continue the discussion on the final, production version, I’ve started a new topic here.
Thanks,

Just released today – fresh out of the developer’s bathroom…
Yahoo Messenger Beta version 5.5.01214 for WinFor the smiley obsessors?
_This_ is the answer to your call. 30 new smileys. Yes you heard me. THREE ZERO. 19 of which are secret – but heck – I already know ’em so I’ll spread the joy. Including a whole load of animimated ones. Yes you heard me. AN-I-MATED.
For the Webcam Trekkers?
We present you – SuperWebcam. Faster, better image quality n’ larger picture. Need I say more?
For the lazy bums?
Easier access to IMViroments.
Download it here

FWIW, I’m running 5.5 and it’s working great so far. I haven’t tested their “SuperWebcam” (yet), but I’ll let you know how it goes.

August 1, 2002 at 5:14 am #101239Jeff HesterKeymasterSo now these smileys need descriptions…. some are self-explanatory (i.e. The Alien), but others could use a title, for instance:
@-) The Deer-in-the-Headlights Stare
Whaddaya think????

What you can’t do is use “Super Webcam” with them, which I haven’t been able to get working through my firewall yet anyway!

August 4, 2002 at 4:33 am #101258LadyWolf1128MemberOk I’m new here but I saw this new smiley and couldn’t resist saying….

August 7, 2002 at 11:03 am #101257MerryOneMemberOk i have downloaded the new beta version of yahoo messenger. BUT when i click on the list of emoticons…..they are invisible…so i more or less gotta guess. I know this is a beta version, but is there anyway to fix this? Without having to uninstall and redownload again?

I think you might be running into problems with your operating system. As I recall from a post in another forum, you’re running Windows 95. Even though Yahoo says the 5.5 beta will run on 95, Microsoft itself no longer supports this aging operating system.
Seriously… a new operating system… even 98… would probably solve a lot of your problems. And if at all possible, backup your data and do a clean install (format the disk, etc.).

August 8, 2002 at 11:09 pm #101244AnnaParticipantAh here guys… 4 more emoticons. These ones seem to only work in some IMViroments.

I guess the Beta part of “Yahoo Beta” has got the best of itself n’ drown. I’ve heard of “Chat Problems”, but today – I’ve been flooded with Messenger problems.#1. Pressing enter to send a message doens’t work! Lol it’s so annoying… type type type type. stop. put hand on mouse. press the send button. I’m so used to type typ type type. hit enter with pinky. Meh.
#3. Half of the Yahoo Fighters IMViroment was missing!
#2. Well.. the IM window wouldn’t resize. It was at one fixed size which was too big in my opinion.
#4. When I pressed the smiley”s list button – nothing happened.
Sheesh. Time for an uninstall. . Well what can you expect? It’s beta.
