Get there quicker with right-click menus

There are a lot of features in Yahoo! Messenger 10. Many of us only use a few on a regular basis and even then, we can get stuck in our routines for how we use them. It’s always fascinating to watch users interact with our product in our usability studies and other research. Sometimes they find or use a feature in a way we never intended (or imagined!).
While it’s a basic of Windows computing to use right-click menus, a lot of users don’t. And in the case of Yahoo! Messenger, they can offer an easy way to do things more quickly, like start a conversation, send a file, or begin a video call. All without opening an IM window first.
From your contact list, right-click on any contact to access the menu. Depending on the information you have for that contact, you’ll see a myriad of ways to connect with them – IM, voice call, video call, SMS, even email.
The right-click menu also gives you quick access to lots of other features, including stealth settings, your message archive for that contact, photo sharing and conference features.
So if it’s been awhile since your right mouse button has gotten a workout, give it a try.

I am trying to make a new yahoo id and it won’t let me, nor can I make an alias, says the servers are taking a break but it’s been saying that for several days now? Also when I fill out all the stuff for an id it keeps saying this ..Looks like there was some trouble creating your account. Please take a moment to review your answers. I have filled out everything correctly, what goes????
