Why did they introduce advertisements?

While this is beta, Live Messenger isn't... Your sig needs updating.

Ads were introduced in version 7.5, I believe.

Ah yes I do. I just got home, give me time.

Happy? :p

I found out how to completely remove the ads (registry key) so I'm happy... I dig the new version... I've seen people complain about stability issues, but I'm sure they'll keep making it better... Love the interop between Live Messenger now... Hope that turns out to work well.

Do you please care to share?

Suppose I should...

Using regedit, open up HKCU\Software\Yahoo\pager\YUrl. Create a new String entry named "Messenger Ad", and give it a value of "*" (no quotes).

Thanks!

if you remove the ads, does it leaves any blank spaces?

Nope! :)

LOL I was beat... No, the window isn't there... Gone... No ads no wasted space... This is apparently something that people did with 7.5... And still works with the shiney new 8.0 beta... I think they ought to keep it around, don't you? :yes:

Oh absolutely!

I just saw another clue to this being the version to contact Windows Live users with.

Check this, although when click it, I get this : http://mm5.msg.sc5.yahoo.com/morpheus/inde...n&ver=8.0.0.505

I think this will be the best verson of yahoo messenger ever. I started useing yahoo messenger around verson 5.6. ( alough I barely remember using versons 5.0-5.5, though i dont quite remember 100 % ) I also remember waiting a long time for verson 6.0 to come, cause of its major updates it took forever. I think yahoo verson 7.5 was a big mistake as they could have added the PC to PC calling feature in Yahoo messenger 8.0.

good job yahoo this has to be the best verson of yahoo messenger you ever made.

Yea.. I think so too. Both v7.5 and 8.0 should of been more like 7.1 and 7.2 because of lack of major changes. Yahoo seems almost scared to released major changes UI or otherwise. Now granted the new plugins and the WLM/yahoo interop are pretty big things but they arent UI.. IMHO, major versions like a 8.0 should require major UI changes. Not just a few new icons here and there..

We need a msg plus kind of service for yahoo messenger. Also when will they learn, NO, dont set the program to run every friggin time i start the PC. ITs bloated, i dont always chat, and i dont like programs turning themselves on every time i turn the pc. Also they dont provide access to program preferences before anyone signs in.

ONe thing they did improve was that main window size now is remembered whereas in 7.5 the window would always expand after you try to sign in because sign in screen was too much bloated.

I agree this is such a huge yahoo update ( should be its a wooping 22.64 MB) with all the extras like plug-ins,PC-to-PC calling, blog with in the IM. we should at least have a major UI change. We had this same UI since Verson 6.0. that came out about 2-3 years ago.

One feature i'd like to see in Yahoo messenger 8.0 is the chance to check your E-mail with in the IM or the main window.or even a mail preview will be nice.,

i'm having a felling this will be the most popluar and best yahoo messenger verson ever.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
