That would kill Messenger 5.5 through 7.02 only. Messenger 7.5 uses YMSG version 14 not 13. Messenger 7.0 and 7.02 use YMSG 13.

I believe the only reason Yahoo! decided to put out 7.5 was to pass the time until 8.0 (and collectively the interop functionality) was ready for mainstream public use. Basically just a stepping stone to them to pacify their userbase.

YMSG 14 didn't really offer anything at all over YMSG 13. If they're willing to drop 12 and 13 so soon (which I do believe they will) 14's game too. Just my opinion however. All we can do is speculate.

I've been kicked off messenger with a kind little message saying:
So i would guess everyone is getting this message because then i'd think Yahoo! is just picking on me with this maintenance!

Well hopefully this doesn't last too long and that i'll be able to log onto messenger again. (hopefully only the time interval they gave...)

I read on Cnet that Yahoo is undergoing a restructuring. I can see they need it badly, because although it's nice of them to "notify" us of the downtime, it would have been nice to know before hand. As it stands now, I was logged on and in the middle of my session a notice came up about the "scheduled maintanence". That's not good. The other thing is... Other services schedule thier "maintanence" for off peak times, while yahoo thinks it's ok to interrupt thier users during peak times. What nonsense!

So I quit the program. I don't want yahoo contacting my client for whatever reason. Yahoo is teaching me not to trust them.

The maintenance involved shutting down the protocals.

You say its during peek time. I say peek time is at 12am eastern time.

Well technically they did give you a beforehand notice... They gave us certain time intervals in which messenger may break down, so they did tell us (24 hours in advance). But of course that doesn't mean we have to like it. :(

Um, peak time starts when all the teenys come home from school and hermit themselves into their bedrooms with their webcams in the sex chat rooms, starting roughly at 5PM. Especially on a Friday, peak time runs well late into the night, so as for you stating it is at 12am, you are correct, but it doesn't start then. It starts much earlier, and mattumanu is very correct stating it is wrong of Yahoo to interrupt users in the highest populated area in North America (eastern) during peak time.

btw, yahoo sucks :)
