I’ve reverted to v.7.5.0.647 and it seems to be working much better. So there are definitely some issues with the newer versions.

Also in a possible related issue, with the versions 8.0 and above I wasn’t able to receive photos from the same friend, they would be pixilated, no matter how long I waited for them to clear up (yes I waited for an hour or so once with photosharing open to the one picture), it wouldn’t work.

So where is the offical link to submit bug reports?

hey guys, I want to re-install my windows, but I have a problem with my yahoo message-archives. Could U hey help me about where they are?

Also, I have to say I`ve customized my yahoo to save all my archives and I use Win Vista.

I’m using windows xp, and v. 9.0.0.1389beta. I have a problem while chatting with a friend. She and I will be talking and then all of a sudden nothing. She can not receive my messages nor I hers. Sometimes I can see her typing but no message appears. The most frustrating thing is sometimes she types something I can see it and reply but she doesn’t see my reply. A few minutes later it will be working fine but eventually drops out again.

She says this doesn’t happen with anyone else she talks to. I don’t know what version she’s using but I believe she’s on a vista machine. I don’t really talk with anyone else via IM so I have nothing to compare this to.

I’ve been scouring the net looking for an answer. I’ve tried multiple suggestions and nothing works. I’ve tried updating all my drivers and software and nothing works. The only thing I can see is that many people are complaining about similar problems since v.8.0. So I can only conclude that it’s because of the new version.

Is anything being done to fix this?

Worse:
- large icons are really ugly, old ones were really cute and fun
- minimize / maximize animation takes control of all XP windows and cannot be disabled
- no option to have the old behavior of writing the name on each line

Better:
-preview of links, images and videos in the message window

I don’t know how many agree with me on this here, but personally I don’t like the new emoticons, I prefer the old one.
I hope you put this into account and at least give the option to have the old ones.

I can’t view profiles. When I click on them, it says “application not found”. Also, if someone sends me a link through messenger, it says “application not found”. I can copy and paste that link and place in url and it works. What happened?
