Yahoo! Messenger Status message length

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Yahoo! Messenger team confession that they accidentally reduced Yahoo! Messenger status message length to 40 chars .The thing i like and respect is that they announced it honestly at their blog which i am sure % 99 of Yahoo! Messenger users be aware of it :)

They announce that they are working on it and i thought it will be fixed soon so you can continue using 250 characters at your Yahoo! Messenger status message.

Hey Yahoo! Messenger Team, make it unlimited so i can publish my book there :p

Yahoo! Messenger chat rooms now uses captcha for prevent bots

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Yahoo! Messenger team really working hard to bring chat rooms back to you.The latest update is they start to use Captcha like Games team start to use a month ago.


Every time you try to login a chat room you must provide that you are a human not a bot so first you will be taken to an empty room then you will see “Messenger Chat Admin”. The message will contain a link that says: “Please click here to verify your account. This step is required before you can begin chatting”. Click the link and a new window entitled “Chat Room Verification” will open. There enter the characters that match the letters and numbers in the Captcha test. After successfully completing the Captcha test, you’ll be returned to the chat room and see a confirmation message: “Congratulations! Your account is verified and you now have access to chat rooms”. Then just start chatting!.

This seems to make you slower but i know you like to see less bots around cursing or booting you.

Happy chatting :)
