There is a way to change how your conversation is formatted in 9.0. Please read this blog article for more information:

My only complaints are the lack of either a classic skin or ability to create custom skins; And most importantly, grouped messages… At least make the grouped messages an optional feature, because everyone I know who has 9.0 despises that change. I’d go back to 8.1 if I could reinstall it just for that one feature, it seriously annoys me that much.

To explain what I mean, messages in 9.0 appear like this:

Tim: Hey.
What’s up?
Have you tried the new Yahoo 9.0?
John: Nope.
Why, is it any good?
Tim: Yeah dude.
It’s awesome.

Whereas, in Yahoo 7, 8.1, and the others, that same conversation would appear like this:

Tim: Hey
Tim: What’s up?
Tim: Have you tried the new Yahoo 9.0?
John: Nope.
John: Why, is it any good?
Tim: Yeah dude.
Tim: It’s awesome.

That’s so much more organized and just better visually. Some people may like the grouped messages, but at least make it OPTIONAL, not standard. That’s a horrid idea to make a change like that and not let it be optional. Forcing a change isn’t good under any circumstances.

this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling this application may help.

But I reinstall it like 50 times and it still will not help.
