"Not enough time or thought put into it, older version better"
Pros: Has many good features that I use like the IMvironments and eMoticons and avatars, chat access, etc.
Cons: Can be very slow, features don't always work, crashes often, server is often "too busy" to use features such as chat and webcam
Summary: Long story short, if your going to use YIM, USE AN OLDER VERSION!!! I have found version 7 (NOT 7.5) to be the best, it has never crashed or has had any problems, while 7.5 and 8 have. YIM 8 main messanger page is just plain ugly too, has a different layout and many features are getting more and more confusing. Yahoo! is starting to focus more on getting more versions out which is fine, IF THEY WORKED GOOD!!!

It crashes several times a day, disconnects then reconnects which of course changes my "status". I use Launchcast and the crashing and disconnects stop the music and I have to manually start it again. Many times a day I notice that the plugins get messed up and I cant select anything, so I have to exit and restart. Great in theory but not planned well enough. Needs alot more testing and not on us, especially when I pay a yearly service for the Launchcast
