Personally i dont like this new version of Yahoo Messenger even though launchcast radio does help a little the following features are missing in my eyes.

* You still can't change your name like you can on MSN. Why didnt Yahoo include this feature? People like changing their names if yahoo wanted to overtake MSN they should have included this feature.

* Why is the new Yahoo Messenger only available in the USA? I went to the website and went to the UK link then asked where i lived and its just the old yahoo messenger available.

* The options on the new yahoo are too complicated. If you want to go and view someones profile or webcam you have to go to contact----> contact options. Which doesnt sound much but its too fiddly and takes too long unlike the old yahoo messenger.

* You can no longer follow people into chatrooms! Remember on yahoo messenger before you could just right click someone in messenger and click 'follow user'. Now that ability is gone so you can't quickly follow your friends into a chatroom! Yet again its more time consuming! (If anyone knows how to do this on the new yahoo messenger please tell me

It looks brighter, looks nicer and has a few extra additional features like a radio. But this won't attract anyone loyal to MSN over to Yahoo because it hasnt improved on its most basic features.

3/10 in my eyes.

Oh and yes one more question why cant i access teen rooms through yahoo messenger anymore? I'm 18...Yet the category is now off on the chatrooms through messenger. i dont understand it..
