I noted that in previous versions of Messenger, if I switched between "visible" and "invisible" my user list immediately went from regular font to italic font, when I became invisible.  This doesn't work with 7 BETA.  I have to close the messenger window (minimize) and then when I bring it back, the italics/non-italics are correct.  Why the delay?  Using XP and IE 6

Many bugs in IE 7, that is why it is called beta. Many experienced nerds are out there test driving it for us "idiots"

If you want to use your old ID without the new one showing, you can open the Messenger menu at the top, click My Profiles.  You'll notice that next to your new name it has a drop down menu that says Active or Inactive.  Making it Inactive will allow you to sign on with the first ID without the new one showing up.\nBut your primary account is always going to be active.  You CAN sign on with your primary ID as invisible.  Then use the drop down box to select another ID when you open chat (Enter Chat Room as:____) or IMs (Send as:____).  However, it's going to show you as offline since the primary ID is invisible.

Strange....(I'm a secretary and use word all the time).   \n\nWhat I would try, is to move the "P" thingy (I know what icon you mean!!!) back to Customise, close up, then open up Customise and drag it back to your taskbar and see if it works again.\n\nIf not, then I would search for a file called Normal.Dot and delete that ,although that gets rid of, say, your additions to AutoText and maybe some others.

The different versions other people are using are probably older versions of Yahoo! Messenger. You can also download the old version from http://www.oldversion.com/ but then you wouldn't be able to use any of the new features either.\n\nThere's no way to tell if a user has you on ignore other than the fact that he won't be responding to any of your messages. Either way, that person probably doesn't want to be bothered at the time, so just wait for him to send you a message. Or send an email if it's something important and see if he responds.

You have bad character mapping.\n\nStart --> All Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map\n\nCheck on Advanced View\n\nMake sure Unicode is selected\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, try using a different font set.\n\nIf that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

You're having a problem with graphics.  Our computer is the same way.  It doesn't display backgrounds etc.  Then I lost my compose box in yahoo.  You have to edit your options and option out of using graphics. Opt for plain text and your compose box will come back, I promise. Yahoo mail help will help you with this.\nThis is from their help page:\n"I can ’t compose, reply, or forward messages. \nThat takes all the fun out of email, doesn't it. Let's fix it! \nHere's how: \n\nClick the "Options" link in the upper right of your Mail page. \nOn the Options page, in the "Management" column, click on "General Preferences". \nFind the "Composing E-mails" section, "Mode:", and choose "Compose messages as plain text". \nScroll to the bottom and click the "Save" button. \nNow try it. Can you Compose, Reply to a message or Forward? \n\nIf so, great! We're done. But if you're still having trouble Composing, Replying to a message or Forwarding, please click 'Contact Us' below, because we would like to resolve this and get your account working properly as quickly as possible. \n\nInclude your Yahoo! ID, and list each step you have already taken. Thanks!"\n\nHope that helped.

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

I have been using yahoo for a while now and that is the fist I have heard of that issue, so I will research this further and post another response. SOON\n\nThis sounds like a Windows Skinning program is the cause, such as alienguise or windowblinds.\n\nIf you use windowblinds, you need to select yahoo! messenger in the per application settings, and disable skinning of it, it may be listed as yahoo! messenger or ypager.\n\nIf it's another program, look for similar settings, if they don't exist, you might have to disable the skinning program to use messenger. \n\nThe only possibility I can possibly see is you are useing Windowsblinds
