I tend to use what everybody else uses, and all my friends either use skype, or MSN, nobody really uses yahoo. I've played around with the most latest one, and it's pretty sweet actually, but it doesn't really matter how good the program it self is, if nobody is using it, theres no really point, because the whole point is to talk to somebody.

How on earth do you organise all those accounts ? I have 5 e-mail accounts (1 gmail, 2 hotmail, 1 school-addres and another one) and I hate that because everybody sends me e-mails to a different address .

i've been using yahoo messenger 9 since last week of november. wow! everythings change i like the skins plus the avatar that has now like a calling card plus. a bigger look of a friends' avatar. about the status message, it'll come back from the previous status you're using before you've logged out, provided if you're using the same computer. back then on some things weren't so good, just like when i click the webcam icon, can be found at the lower right of the window, it'll not automatically accept or open your webcam but it'll only result to nothing, yet to do this on ym9. the person whom you're talking about need to click your status that you're on webcam or you may click on the action menu, found on the mene bar.. and click on invite to webcam.

thats all i can say about ym9, but the rest they we're reallly ok.

You can use forwarding and filtering options so that all the mails sent to your different ids are finally sent to one particular id automatically.

I hate Y9 and will uninstall and go back to Y8
Yahoo! Messenger 9 Beta Preliminary Review

I understand all that they want to generate more ad revenue, and they want to do more phone stuff, so I am willing to ignore that stuff. But they changed a fundamental paradigm in yahoo chat concerning your profile image.

Now, I must have the same image to all open windows and to my chat list. I don't want my chat list to see what image I am using necessarily, just the people that I choose to see it.

And everyone's window will automatically change to what ever image you change one person's dialog box.

And it crashes on yahoo games such as dominoes

Hopefully, I can go back to 8 cleanly.

You should be careful with going back to version 8 because Yahoo! recently announced that some of the features were being discontinued (http://ycoderscookbook.com/blog/?p=313). Additionally many of the profile changes (http://ycoderscookbook.com/blog/?p=311) apply to all versions and you may not be able to use a different picture now even in version 8.
