Yahoo! Messenger with Voice 8.0.506 Beta


Recommended Posts

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 know it's in the 8.0 beta. That's what I'm using. I want to know if it's in the 7.5 stable version? I'm guessing it's not by the way you worded that. Please confirm. Thanks!

I don't remeber that bug being there.

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 :(

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?

Mine is using 24, 976K. It's just sitting there with no chat windows open. I wonder how much 7.5 uses?

About 7.7 MB

That's pretty jumpy. I'm going to reinstall 8.0 and see again.

I didn't see any way to get rid of the plugins thing though.

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)

Mines only using 13MB.

Afterall it's still in beta. ;)

MY version 7.0 used about 35, and so did 7.5

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.

Probably, but it shouldnt use an extra 20mb with no plugins loaded..

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?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
