New Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta
October 29, 2007 on 9:12 pm | In News |
Introducing Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta, the next version of our popular IM software for Windows. This new version has a whole new look and feel, along with some great new features that make it well worth the upgrade. Here’s a quick look at what’s new in Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta:
- A whole new look for your contact list. Keep it in detail view to see larger Avatar images for your friends, or switch to compact list view (in the Contacts menu). Plus, you can just hover and click to IM, SMS or call a friend.
- Brand new skins and emoticons! Click the dot near the top of your Messenger window to choose a skin, and check the emoticon menu for the new ones that were inspired by user entries in our Emoticontest earlier this year (more on our winners in a future post).
- New Flickr integration in the photo sharing feature. Easily share photos from your Flickr.com account, or save photos shared with you directly to Flickr.
- A new in-line media player that makes it easy to view maps, photos and videos from sites like Yahoo! Video and YouTube right in the IM window. No plug-ins needed, no extra downloads — it’s built right in. Just send a video, map or photo link to another friend who’s also on 9.0 to try it out.

When friends send me pics through photoshare they come in all pixilated. What do we need to do so we can view the pics?
I use a 128kb/sec DSL modem , and windows XP (sp2) and IE7.
I encounter this error message each time I want to sign in: “System is busy , try a bit later” .
I Installed Y!messenger 9 beta last week , I faced this problem . That time I unistalled Y!m9 and switched back to 8.1 and it worked properly.
Today I installed Y!M 9 again and … the same error message appears each time I want to sign in.
But when I use my Dial-up (56k) modem connection , I can sign in easily to the new Y!M 9 (beta) .
I contacted my Internet support group but they didn’t know the solution either.
I would be really appreciated if you could help me find the reason for this problem and help me solve that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE answer! xoxox

According to one user on Yahoo! Answers you should uninstall all YM you have on your computer, 8.1 AND 9 beta. After that reinstall Yahoo Messenger 9 beta again. According to the guy who provided this solution, it should work.
i downloaded yahoo messenger but i cant sign in after installing i jus sign in n d window disappears
8.1 and 9 beta has photo sharing problems with the pixels
Whenever I’m invited to a conference in Yahoo! Messenger 9 beta, I can enter, but my name shows up twice whenever I send a message. And when I check my archives, there are numbers and symbols next to the names, instead of just the names and all of the messages. I uninstalled Messenger 9 beta and went back to 8.1. When I tried to use Messenger 9 beta, I had the same problem again. So, I uninstalled it again, and now use 8.1. Is there any way to solve these problems?
