Hello,

Three years passed since I used Yahoo Messenger last and how different it is from what I expected it to be!

1/ There’s no search engine so how is one supposed to find new people to talk to?

2/ There’s the chat room service but I’m sorry to say that it sucks. No matter which chat room I get into, at least half of the users are bots offering me to watch them stripping on cam (not interested). Who’s running it anyway? Who’s supposed to keep chat rooms in order? Apparently these people, if there are any, are neglecting their duties.

3/ Yahoo Messenger used to be such a colorful, interesting place but now it’s dull and there’s absolutely nothing to do there. It’s like a kindergarten without toys. Total boredom.

Please, bring back the old, good Yahoo Messenger!

I have double checked to make certain that I am on the current version of 9, but the issue of Yahoo preventing the machine from shutting down still remains. Several times, I have found it necessary to kill the process. Is there a fix for this?

Hi Paquita,

To create groups in your Messenger list, go to the Contacts menu at the top and select “Manage Groups”. In that menu, select “Create New Group…”. Enter the name of the group and click OK. The group name will then appear in your Messenger list. Once your groups are created, you can drag and drop friends right in your list into the new group.

Everytime I try and shut my pc down when messenger 9 is running windows tells me a program is running and I have to click end to close messenger so windows can finish shutting down. I am using windows xp 32bit with service pack 3.

I tried finding a solution on another Yahoo blog but had no results so will try here. I’m using 9.0 and have a couple of concerns. It does, in fact, load very slowly compared to the 8.0 versions. When my contacts are shown as “offline” some profile pics are gone with only the grey smiley face and some profile pics are there, but shaded. All these contacts are supposedly offline. Why are some pics shaded and some offline with just a grey smiley box? I’m very curious to know why this is. Thanks!!
