I tried this on a newly imaged laptop with build 209 just installed… same deal as all the other PCs I tried it on.
That reply you got was probably just a clueless shot in the dark from a tech hoping a reinstall would fix it.;)
Now that the holiday is over I have no issue setting “Happy New Year” or “Merry Christmas”. Is that the same for you now?
Andy Sparrow made an addin that does this… and more. It would announce the status change…. this is great when you are waiting for someone to come online but can’t be right in front of your PC. Turn up the volume and you can hear it announce “Big-Booty-Tudy-Fruity-Judy is now online” from accross the room.
Like all his other addins tho, it has fallen to the wayside as he seldoms even visits his own forum. His addins don’t work with v7.
Y!-VoiceStatus is its name… it was also rolled into his Y!-Emote too. Maybe one day he will get it working with the latest YIM.
UnSaKreD, how about the COM interface with Ypager? Anyone played with the methods exposed? Seems like I read that HyperYM goes this route to set status.
Yahoo will lock you as mentioned if it is changed too frequent, but you can do some “animation”…
YEmote+ does it but the author only works on it every blue moon, so still no v7 support.
HyperYM status updater has some animation too, like a text progress bar so that you can show not only what song you are listening to, but how far into it you are… As mentioned such features may be pushing it a tad on update intervals, so be forewarned.
Aside from the music stuff (It supports a *lot* of players btw)… for just rotating status info at preset or random intervals, with macro support, HyperYM is good. It has an autoresponder too if you need that.
