mancode20 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I'm currently using the newest 8.0 beta 506 build, and I like it so far but just incase I decide to fall back on the more stable version 7.5, does anyone have an offline installer link to the newest 819 build?

Boo Berry Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 you can change it to a blue skin or clasic skin < the clasic skin uses your OS GUI as it's look> Really? Changing Yahoo's skins has no effect on it. Still purple.

mancode20 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Personally, I rather them fix the nickname bug. And the bugs people experence with display pictures. Although, with the iTunes plugin, I don't like the purple skin it has. Is the nickname bug not in the newest version 7.5 build 819? Would really appreciate if someone could tell me this. Thanks!

I'm guessing it's not by the way you worded that. Please confirm. Thanks!

SooperDoode Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I like the 8.0 Beta a lot and even managed to skin it up a bit to my desire. I'm using the Codename: Opus DeviantArt skin so I wanted it to have a nice dark/forest green look and I got that :) My biggest gripe with the overall program is that I cannot open Web Links in Firefox or IE. If a contact sends me a link and I click on it, the Messenger folder opens. It's extremely annoying and it's happening in all version I've had isntalled. Maybe something from my computer? Anyway, nice program but I want the web links to work :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/471527-yahoo-messenger-with-voice-80506-beta/page/3/#findComment-587636800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, nice program but I want the web links to work :( I also have a similar problem. If I click on the purple mail icon within messenger, my current browser that's already open with at least one tab (Opera 9.0 and Neowin) comes to the forefront and acts like it's going to load the yahoo mail page, but it never does. Now if I close the browser and then do it, it works the way it should by loading the mail page in a new tab. Anyone know how to fix this?

nshahzad Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Uses too much memory. I went back to 7.0. (~20mb usage) 8.0 was 50-60mb Too much for just wanting to chat.

mancode20 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for posting the direct link to 7.5! I'm trying to figure out which one I'm going to use. As far as I can tell there's at least 3 versions, right? The newest of course being the 8.0 beta (Build 506), then 7.5 (Build 819) That's a released, stable version? So if you don't want to use the beta, that's the one to use? There's probably no reason to mess with 7.0 then? Although I'm assuming it probably has the lowest memory usage. What's the newest 7.0 build? I have 7.02 (Build 120) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/471527-yahoo-messenger-with-voice-80506-beta/page/3/#findComment-587637986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech_Dude_5000 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I bet the reason why it uses so much memory and takes up so much space is becuase of the plug ins. They should have a option of having the plug ins enable or not.

jameseuk Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I've always found Yahoo messenger to take up more space then MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger,not really sure why Yahoo feel the need to do that as it doesnt even look as good Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/471527-yahoo-messenger-with-voice-80506-beta/page/3/#findComment-587639236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancode20 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Can someone give me the link for 8.0.505 beta? Build 506 seems to have a bug. Whenever I'm listening to music on LAUNCHcast, a lot of the times it doesn't change my status to the song. It seems to happen when I'm invisible, and then I come back and try to listen to music. It always puts my status as available. I'll even go up and set it to the song that's playing, and then the next song changes it to available. I don't think 505 did this. Has anyone else experienced this?
