New types of updates from Yahoo! Groups
July 20, 2009 on 2:41 pm | In 9.0 version | 10 Comments
Back in April, we told you all about the Updates feature in Yahoo! Messenger 9.0, which allows you to see what your Yahoo! Messenger friends are up to and to share your own online activities with them.
Beginning this week, more types of updates from Yahoo! Groups are being supported. Now when you send a message to your Yahoo! group you can automatically share the update with your Yahoo! Messenger friends. This new type of update will begin rolling out to users this week.
Note that sharing your Yahoo! Groups updates is optional. You’ll find sharing settings on your groups page as well as on the settings page of your profile, where you can determine who, if anyone, sees your Yahoo! Groups updates.
Please visit the Yahoo! Groups Blog for complete information on this new type of update from Yahoo! Groups.
The image below shows the Yahoo! Groups listing on the profile settings page, which includes the type of updates from Yahoo! Groups that can be shared, along with a menu to let you select with whom you share your updates.

That’s all well and good but when are you guy’s going to actually do some thing about the “bots” that are still in the chat rooms? I get nailed with them every time and frankly I’m sick of it.And so are a lot of others i talk to as well.
If your email service was not my only email address i would have quit you guy’s long ago.

Greetings,
I tired installing YM 9 on my Windows 7 RC (build 7100). It was all smooth except for one thing.
I could not change my stat message. Busy, Invisible, or any other custom message. I’m just shown as online and available. What’s wrong with it?
