The avatars are "moving", i like this part :
"While you're IMing, select an emoticon or type its shortcut, like . Your avatar's face will be animated for a few seconds with the new expression. "

Yahoo! environments have been ripped by MSN for "backgrounds" have they not?

---

Maybe I should re-phrase that?

Yahoo's feature has been taken by Microsoft yes? Yahoo! having backgrounds and the like existed well before MSN 6 was out.

what? when i used yahoo, (3 yrs ago), they had environments. MSN didn't.

ergo, yahoo environments predate MSN Backgrounds

That's what i said, I think Triple8 got confused with the order of words I used.

MSN has "ripped" the use of backgrounds IMO off Yahoo! because of how popular they were and Microsoft's promotion for MSN Messenger 6 was, "a compleletly custom" IM client.

To be honest, theres only so much you can do after sending files and chatting. I suppose all the companies are limited to what features they can add.

he is saying that msn stole the background idea.
yahoo had the environments longago, then msn put them into msgr 6

lol thats what i meant
Yahoo was using those background before msn6 ^^

I hate ICQ i love both MSN 6.2 and Yahoo 6.0

Yahoo 6.0 is doing great, no error till know, nice ideas (radio, weather, calendar) hope they improve the mac version also.


Yahoo messenger disconnect and is not signing in


It works now!

I used to like using ICQ as well but i got fed up with the large ammounts of adverts in it really started to tick me off. Espically in the convo window as well.

I like the new yahoo altho couple improvements would be nice.

Im used to personalizing my status on yahoo aswell as i do on msn..shame is theres only two types of emoticons shown for it...online or busy (u only get those two choices when u make new status..i'd like one that says afk)

Also Launchcast isnt very appealing ta me...i started it up when i got the beta version an got message its only a trialversion an u have to pay for it after a certain amount of time (could have been just the station i choose..i dont remember wich one tho). For internetradio i prefer ta use Shoutcast in Winamp.

An yes u can resize the mainscreen but only the width not the hight (shame).

I also didnt find the possibility to safe the contactslist in Yahoo, an ID's i previously deleted apeared again after installing the new Yahoo

Currently im using both MSN messenger and Yahoo, but i have to say MSN is my favourite

yeah cool messengers

For those that are interested Yahoo 6 is now outta Beta!

Go grab it here: http://messenger.yahoo.com/
