How could I use my own animated emoticons (gif or jpg file) in the conversation windows like MSN Messenger’s custom emoticons? I asked this question earlier but it is not present in the workshop transcript. Thanks

When will the “ignore chat invitation” option be fixed ? That is a question that I would have liked to see addressed.

I am about to buy a computer that uses Gos Operating System from Linux I was wondering what version of messenger is used on that.

Hi Nouman – Actually we did answer that and it’s in the chat transcript:
G-342515971: I want to show a Gif image as a actual gif.. could yahoo make this feature possible?
MessengerBlogSarah: Hi G-342515971, We know users like this feature and that it’s available in Windows Live Messenger. It’s something we’re considering so maybe it will make it into a future version. Thanks for the suggestion

@Hilary
You’re one of the few people who liked the larger emoticons. We reverted back to the smaller smileys after hearing from users that they preferred the small smileys to the large ones. Sorry!

Hi,
I have one issue: When will you fix the issue of Yahoo Messenger 9.0 not being able to connect behind a proxy ?
I have been trying to use this version since the first beta was available and always have been hopeful that someday this might get fixed.
Everytime I mail Yahoo support, I get a standard response: “Thakns you for using Yahoo Messenger. Our engineers are working on this issue. In the mean time, kindly continue to use version 8.1″
They also helpfully provide me with a download link to version 9.0
Thanks,

I’d like to know how to make/modify SKINS. I have experimented with the skins folder a bit and was able to get the GUI back to the OS default, but I lost other important parts of the GUI in the process.
I really want a skin to use the OS default GUI. Yahoo sticks out like a sore thumb. This is why Mac OS looks so good, most of the aps are all streamlined to use the native UI. Vista has a nice UI, yet there are rogue applications like YahooIM9 that insist of using a different UI and not giving users the option to default back to the native one.
Bahumbug

Since I downloaded 9.0 several days ago I’m not able to use it. It tells me I’m signed in when I click to close out the sign in box. What the heck is going on. I recieved some instructions but still nothing works.

I like the old version better. Everything is too small and the old version is easier to use.

Still waiting on the Music Launchcast issue to be resolved. Can’t choose any radio stations – can’t click on Themes folder… annoying!
