Re: [Y!M] Messenger 8 released

[Tom]

I get the message below everytime i sign in, i use 7.5, do not plan to upgrade to 8 till ytunnel catches up to it. System: Your contact is using Windows Live™ (MSN) Messenger, and wants to add you to his or her Messenger List. To start sharing instant messages, you'll first need to sign up for the Yahoo! Messenger Beta program at http://messenger.yahoo.com/partners_msn.php. The contact in question is on my buddy list and have not problems  sending ims to each other, just annoying that message pops up every time i sign in.

I was wondering too (for those who archive their messages like I do), do you you lose you message archives when  you  install Messenger 8?

The big features are: the ability to add and IM with your MSN and Hotmail contacts (which still requires that both of you be a part of the beta program for this particular feature; links to sign up below) plug-ins to allow you to extend the features of Messenger both in the main window and in your IM conversations Yahoo! 360 integration, in the form of a plug-in. Smaller features you may have missed: 1000 contact list - Add even more friends to your Messenger list. 1 GB file transfers - Send huge files to your friends Soundboard - click the round button on the left side of the call bar while in a call and you can play sound effects over the call. Or you can even play your own sound file or MP3 by clicking the button in the bottom left, or by simply dragging the sound file onto the call. Windows + Y keyboard shortcut - (My favorite new feature) Type Windows + Y anywhere on your computer, and you can bring up messenger and quickly type a few letters of a person's name to start an IM with them.
