As you might know Yahoo! limited status messsage length starting from today morning, from 255 chars to 40 chars.
The attached patch removes this limitation. Just unzip & run. It will automatically find yahoomessenger.exe and modify a single byte, which in turn will make Yahoo! Messenger
ignore the new
max_custom_status XML tag which is sent by the server staring from today... you will then be able to use the good'old 255 length statuses
Enjoy!
PS: for any security freaks: this patch will just scan yahoomessenger.exe for the string "max_custom_status" and modify its first letter... nothing more
It should work with ANY version of YM which has this builtin limitation.
Update: for those who had problems with first version, the new one supports target file drag and drop and also looks for the file in a few more locations.
