Well Happy New Year! Almost February and no Yahoo Messenger update. I have found I can set my display image by opening Yahoo Messenger in VMWare Fusion. I cannot change or do anything with it on the Mac side. That’s the work around I’ve been using the past year….

Nice — I see the first posting about the image problem on June of this year, and here it is close to Thanksgiving with no fix. Upgraded from the old 2.3.5 Messenger last night.

While Messenger for Mac has been subpar for years, it’s obvious that development for the platform has been cut back, since just getting your own icon to show in home screen just isn’t that difficult.

It’s really not easy being this mediocre. I have friends and engineers a Google that would never accept this level of parity on their platform — it’s obvious that in designing your product that shortcuts were taken that used Windows-specific implementations and other platforms had to be reverse-engineered to work.

I’m glad your architect(s) don’t work with me, because they wouldn’t do it for long. Circulate your resumes. AIM, MSIM and Jabber have officially kicked your butts.

i’ve recently converted to mac pro after years of using windows.. while i’m impressed with the OS and safari I’m dissapointed with YM (beta 3.0). For example: It hangs 50% of the time i open it, stealth settings are not individualized, its still unclear to me how to change fonts, colors, etc when chatting… I really think Apple needs to be more demanding on the YM beta releases…
