Hi People,
I’m not too familar with the YMS protocols so if I was to revert to an older 7.0 (not 7.5) build of Messenger would I still be able to chat with people using the latest 8.1 build…webcam and filesharing to if required?
Just I’m getting fed up with the way 8.1 is going…bloated and full of stuff I never use.
I’d like to go back to build 5.6 but I’m pretty sure that won’t work at all now.
Thanks.
Colin

-Doris-September 19, 2007 at 1:56 pm #164330colin1951ukParticipantWell security doesn’t worry me so much as I use YTK Pro which’ll kill most things…in any case if 7 will work I can take the patched dll’s from 8.1 and use those to replace the older ones within 7…it should work ok.
If nobody knows the answer to this I’m gonna try 7 anyway and see how I get on…hopefully it’ll work barring the odd smiley which I couldn’t care less about.
If anybodies interested I’ll post back the results later.

September 20, 2007 at 8:27 pm #164331colin1951ukParticipantI see what you mean Dermot…I checked it out with one of my buddies and it works fine…but chatrooms is a problem.
I said in my original post that I wasn’t well aquainted with Yahoo protocols so I assume this YMSG 15 is to do with the 8x builds and isn’t backwards compatible…am I close?
Although I never liked the 7.5 builds would using that get me out of woods???…I seem to remember that 7.5 was a kind of beta for 8x so maybe it’ll work on similar protocol levels. Would I be on the right track here?
Cheers.

chatroom wise, there is some incompatibilities with older protocols to the latest
yahoo do not support any messengers below 8.0
