Yahoo! Messenger with Voice 8.0.506 Beta


Recommended Posts

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..

The major change is the annoying ads and the plugins which take too much space and have no obvious purpose.I mean lets look at the 360,buzz,weather or music,we've been using them since version 7 anyway.They were alot better integrated in the program and you didnt need to download anything else.This is the same thing,just more ostentatious.And another thing,BETA crashes like mad!!click anything you want in the program and it'll crash.Furthermore since it has been released,version 7.5 has started crashing too.Yahoo is digging its own grave :angry:

Going back to 7.0.2. Such a big memory hogger. same was the case with 7.5 and so with this beta. Takes around 32MB when signing in and then when i start a chat it goes to 48MB.

Have removed unwanted crap ( yahoo search bar,content tabs etc) still hogs memory

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
