I'd also like to note that YTK Pro/Lite (nor Y!Tunnel) is made to function with a modified res_msgr.dll file. Keep that in mind if you use any of those applications. =)

ytunnelpro works fine. after some more testing with YTK it removes the Menu from the buddy window and also removes the menu items from the user list in chat aswell as the chat menu.

I am very suprised as this does not happen with ytunnelpro it works great. It may be the way YTK was coded as it must load the items in cunjunction with the default Menu Items.

example: Load YTK Menu next to Ations() - because actions is no longer the name it will no longer reconise the YTK Menu Item.

YTunnelPro works 100% with the update though apart from YTK. With YTK you will find the "YTK" Menu Items are missing. A new update is Now Available Below to fix the YTK Menu Bugs.

Problem Fixed!

All YTK's Menu Items now show in the Buddy Window , Chat and in the ChatUserList*

Log
  • Compatability has been added for YTK Lite and Pro - There was issues where you applied the patch and YTK did not reconise the Window Sizes and did not show the Favorite Room List on the Chat List Window.
  • Was A YTK Issue with Menu Items not appearing as they should be. Items have been renamed back to Default.
  • About Menu Updated

This build was made specially for YTK Only

I'm sure the developer is working on different things at the moment (a torrent site).
