I have no Yahoo messenger now since you forced 3.0 beta onto me. Everything was fine until I was forced to update. Why force a beta on everyone when you haven’t allowed a return to non-beta software.

The messenger for Mac is bad! We need an update! And the same thing happens to me, every time i sign out and sign back in my picture goes away it looks like the oldest version of messenger..I started using Skype though, it’s pretty cool, at least it has video calls and all that! Pleasee someoneeee an updateeeee!!

Seriously, how hard is it to get the display image to work properly? You can set it then sign out and it disappears. Are you actually developing this product for the Mac or is it dead?

I’m using the newer version, 192773 for Mac on both Snow Leopard (macbook) and on Leopard (G5 PPC) and again the display image doesn’t work. The online help in yahoo answers is just PC related and yet again Yahoo has failed to bring out a version that even does what it says it does on the tin. Very disappointing.

When’s there a new version which does support this again, Sarah?

Big fail, Yahoo, for your update… I am using version 3.0 beta (build 191946) and my display image has never worked since I downloaded that version. I am still on Mac 10.5 Leopard what to do ?

Why does Yahoo advertise YIM profiles will display jpegs, gifs, etc., yet in Messenger For Mac Community Yahoo explains under the question “Why do I have to use IE with YM?” that IE is required for this functionality?

What finally got my isight in the last version to work, and then the upgrade to this version, was to do as Ron said and go into your quicktime folder and remove things. I also completely deleted all the yahoo files and folders from the computer, as explained earlier in this thread.

mac hd/library/quicktime ….. and for me, I removed everything except the flip4mac stuff. I reinstalled the last build that worked, and then upgraded to the newest, and it signs in and isight works.

Hope this helps.
