   Reviewing 3.0 Build 126432 Beta (Jan 29, 2009)

   Just got a MAC Mini, and I am a yahoo Messenger user. Never had problems with Buggy software before, up to now. I downloaded this, thinking it'll work flawlessly. After installing, and it's initial execution, - it locked up the system.

   I've yet to find someone to test the audio functionality. Other things seem to work about the same as in the past. This is basically the fifth publicly available build in 2.5 years and with 2 publicly available builds per year, this software should be ready about 2011.
   
   At least, it hasn't crashed as much as the last build.

   Reviewing 3.0 Beta 1 (Nov 8, 2006)

   When I read about the newer build 18274, I went to the beta msg home page to install it. When I slid the icon to my applications icon, then told it to install, it said I had a newer version. The version I show from the get info (on right click) says I have 17006. I told it not to continue. I notice on the new one I tried to install it says Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but wont show the build number since it isnt completely installed I assume. Any information anyone can share?
   
   I cannot view webcams, but I dont own one either. I have been reading many places that webcams dont work on this mac beta version, yet I see the screenshot posted. I dont know if I need to install a camera in order to view one? My friends try to cam me and I get a black box with a spinning icon like it is trying to load. After 10 - 15 mins I just X it out. I thought I use to be able to view cams back in April... but maybe not. I have an old pc set up by this iMac to view cams.
   
   I enjoy seeing the pics on this new beta version, but I think there is a lot of wasted space with the user bubbles and there is still no archiving that I can find. I have to save everything in a Text Edit program and keep in a folder... very annoying and very inconvienent when trying to see a history or a particular user. Also, the screennames are written in white in the bubbles, so when saving... I have to select all and select default to show the user names in black (if we use the same fonts and colors)... then I lose their color of font. So many frustrations with this !!
   
   I also dont like the fact that this newer version wont allow you to see a persons profile at random... only from a person in the msg list. I just go to my profile and then to the box for view by ID to search.
   
   I think Yahoo needs to step it up a notch... I see complaints Everywhere from Mac Users !!
