oh well, you can also download it from: http://beta.messenger.yahoo.com

i don't really like it, it seems they've copied Gtalk.. they added few new features but it's not really that great. i think i'll stick to 8.1

[Yfcadmin]

@Nosfer: Yea ... but changes are the part of development.

well the link I am providing is a direct link from Yahoo! FanClub (http://www.yahoofanclub.com). 12.7 MB file. It can be used for offline installation.

I think it looks great. I'm going to upgrade.

[prinzcy]

Umm...I think I'll stick with 8.1 much longer.

[buffalo]

I've got it now. And it looks prettier, but other than that, it doesn't seem much different...

[soccer-writer]

IMO... yahoo is the most lousy instant messenger service around. .... i am more than comfortable with gtalk :p

[Im The ONE]

I downloaded it yesterday.
The feature I liked was that it displays Phone-out balance and look is good but its sluggish

Great. ! :D

ONe day or the other you'll have to shift to Yahoo! Messenger 9.0

Another satisfied user. ;) .. did you download from that yahoo! messenger 9.0 from Yahoo! FanClub. ??

No it isnt. its just that Gtalk is simple and more like a graveyardic atmosphere. Yahoo! Messenger is like a party time. :D

Its a Beta release.

No, sorry. I used this link:

oh well, you can also download it from: http://beta.messenger.yahoo.com

Is there a difference depending on where you DL from?

It's still missing the one feature that I miss from Trillian. It doesn't show me when each user was last online. With Trillian I could click on the name of a contact and it would show me when they were last logged in, whether I was logged in at that time or not.

[Yfcadmin]

Actually the file I am providing is a 12.7 MB file for offline installation. that means you can burn in on CDs or install it without internet connection. ;)

[Minterest]

Wow.. good fine.. Upgrading Now...... Thanks

EDIT:

Anyone tried to install this from http://beta.messenger.yahoo.com/ I am getting the following error

Other than MSN I didn't download any non multi platform IM in years. Trillian and/or pidgin (who the hell came up with that name?) do a great job. Though I heard the new version of ICQ is great too...

Download Links(Full Installers)

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/us/ymsgr9us.exe

Trick to download full installers, just add a "y" in original 340KB installer's filename in link.

For example above Links for 340KB sized installer was(provided by Y! site):

http://us.dl1.yimg.com/download.yahoo.com/dl/msgr9/us/msgr9us.exe

I just added y in front of filename to make it complete download. I don't know why Yahoo! hides the full installers from public downloads.

This trick will work for all versions of Yahoo! Messengers and of all languages and all country versions of Y! Messengers.

So, is there anything new in this version except the appearance, YahooGuru?

[navjotjsingh]

New Features:
Forward Offline PMs to a Mobile Number
Continous Messages from a username in chat window does not carry username with each message
No Option to switch between id and name in contact display list. Names are by default now.
Games Removed.
Themes Cannot be changed, only color options can be changed now.

[buffalo]

It also imbeds videos & pics into the chat window. If I enter a YT link, the actual video will automatically embed and the other person won't even have to click the link. :cool:

[navjotjsingh]

Oops..forgot the best feature. Yeah..embedding of Youtube Videos and photos is awesome. Atleast there is one good feature to talk of. :D

Loookings Great.... Let me check it. Thanks for sharing here such a great thing.s

[Armaan143]

Not for Windows Vista users.

[richy11]

I dont like the new look at all.
If you have a larger list its a waste of time finding a name.The speed is improved in 9.0 but I'll rather stick with the 8 version.

wow.....great trick......thx...

[spidro]

looks really great but i guess i'll wait for the final release i had enough of Beta software
thanks for sharing

[agnivo007]

Well, I use pidgin (www.pidgin.im) and it works well for me. Supports almost all IM providers and less bloated than all.

Go for it if you really don't need the bloat and all bells & whistles. :D

[hostparlor]

I hate 9.0! It has an alright interface but all out they went to far with it. I don't like the pm's where it don't show your name on every line that can get confusing when people type alot

That's right . I hate that feature to where your name is not repeated in chat. It forms a paragraph. For those who are wondering I am saying is:

Yahoo Messenger 9.0

Mike: Hi
How are you doing.
Jimmy:Hello there
I am Fine

Old Yahoo Messenger 8 and others.

Mike: Hi
Mike: How are you doing
Jimmy:Hello there
Jimmy: I am Fine

This old one looks better.

I have sent a Feedback to Yahoo to remove it though.

[wilfordsy]

I've already heard a lot of reviews on the new update but I'm still sticking to 8.1. Maybe I don't really find the new update necessary. But don't get me wrong, it looks good. :)

[dreamsubmitting]

Very Nice looking............

[voicework]

Even though you know you eventually will end up having to download the latest version, for some reason there are some of us that want to hang on to the old just a little while longer. My reasoning is usually because I'm waiting for them to get all the bugs out first. The current version that I'm using continues to open and close at will, as if it has a mind of it's own. It interrupts games that I'm playing constantly, so I hope downloading this version will either fix that problem or....well, let's just hope it doesn't make it any worse lol!

ym 9 is fine but when i am sending files through ym9 the output of the file is different!
i tried sending a .txt file with "hello world" written on it to my friend then here is the output of the file which is wrong!

<html dir=ltr>

That part is weird... But I'm used to it now and it doesn't bother me too much...

But the auto imbed on the photo sharing ROCKS! And I linked to a YT video yesterday and it started with the Watch With Me feature so we could both watch the same video at the same time while we were chatting!! Awesome!

Where can we go to submit feedback? I'd like to suggest a feature or two... ;)

I don't much like YIM, MSN ftw! :P
