Well in a nutshell it is the version to match Windows live messenger.
New plugin system to match Windows live messengers.
You can now log data to your yahoo! messenger and submit it to Yahoo!
You can send plugins between your friends!
You can invite people to use the latest Yahoo messenger now!
You can now Set Yahoo! Messenger to take NO incoming call’s.
Yahoo! 360 is now built into Yahoo! Messenger
Yahoo! Answers is now also a selectable Plugin!
New Cleaner looking i-face.

June 21, 2006 at 6:40 am #146700bluesforsuzeMemberit sounds somewhat appealing but I have to say it doesn’t wow me, you know? Still, if it works better than Yahoo messenger usually does that’ll be something lol. By the way I love your avatar, very cute!
😉June 21, 2006 at 9:39 am #146681OreoMemberI think it will be interesting to see how this one finally integrates with MSN. 🙂 Though…I have to say at the moment I’m having sign-in problems. 🙁
:new: I am able to sign in with an older account (it took AGES but it signed in) but the one I normally use, worked last night just fine, today just keeps saying it is signing in…but never does. Already a nasty bug??
June 21, 2006 at 7:10 pm #146684DermotParticipantWell you will notice in 8.0 you have the option to add or pm LCS
LCS been Live Communication Server aka msn
You can add people also from this server but you will not see their status or be able to pm right at the moment.
This meaning its probally just off serverside at the moment is just a matter of “switching on” the option to see and pm both.
I would expect any problems between now and then are final preparation for that vert fact.
June 22, 2006 at 7:18 pm #146701kyonkichiMemberAfter i installed it… My YM keeps crashing T___T.. like i’m chatting and suddenly got disconnected then re-connected again. In the log, it has lines like these, which got some “Socket error”. Hopefully, this is temporary

[/CODE]June 22, 2006 at 10:37 pm #146690imported_Ven0mMemberAn update to the beta came out today.
June 24, 2006 at 10:40 pm #146696Eagle_KiwiMemberI’m intrigued – to find under Contact Details, Other, space for IDs for the following:
- AIM
- ICQ
- Skype
- GoogleTalk
- IRC
- QQ (lol – they’re courting the Chinese vote here !??)
And they already have MSN/WLM ID space in Contact Details as well.
But so far not only does the WLM part seem unconnected (as Dermot said) – but I can find no way to enter anything into all those other IM ID spots – either for friends or even for myself.
June 26, 2006 at 2:36 am #146691imported_Ven0mMemberHas anyone experenced the Yahoo ID/nickname bug yet?
June 26, 2006 at 3:50 am #146683EliteNickMemberKingsofcaos6669: What bug is that? lol
Oreo: Same here…usually late at night though. I think it’s probably just because they’re doing changes to a lot of stuff, especially with the logins and such, in preperation for the Yahoo! + Windows! Live collaboration.
June 26, 2006 at 2:13 pm #146685DermotParticipantOnly bug i have found is the only show online buddies bug which i have sent to yahoo!
if you have the option ticked to only show online buddies and a buddie goes offline it leaves your buddies id on the list but with the grey offline smiley.
only way to remove it is go and toggle only show online buddies again.
as for the yahoo/nickname bug?…could you elaborate on that a bit more?
June 26, 2006 at 4:49 pm #146697StrigoiMemberLol cant even say what the Beta version is about.It crashes at the slightest touch.Even more annoying is that the 7.5 version started crashing right after Beta was released.It even crashes if i want to set my picture to large.
Good thing i still have installation kit for version 7 🙁June 26, 2006 at 8:00 pm #146692imported_Ven0mMemberWhat I meant was that when I chat with people, in the IM window, it shows my real name from Yahoo’s Account Profile rather than the nickname (or the account ID) as it should. They mixed up the Yahoo ID/nickname settings.
June 27, 2006 at 2:13 am #146699moraMemberJust playing myself with this new version…
I was horrified to see my real name (first and last) publicly dislplayed, but I fixed it going to My Contact Details, and changing My Messenger ID from my primary (where also my real name is registered) to an alias… and now only my alias shows on Messenger and IM’s (I think… I hope…)June 27, 2006 at 3:58 am #146693imported_Ven0mMemberIt won’t work probably. I allready tryed this the first night Yahoo 8 came out.
July 1, 2006 at 10:02 pm #146682curtisg43228MemberIm having problems with my voice for the new messenger,I can’t talk but i can hear all the regular noises.Im supposed to already have DSP Group TrueSpeech(TM) Audio CODEC but i have no idea on how to get it working? Anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
