    Whenever it automatically goes off-line, it takes away the focus; it is not even visible. Pressing Alt+Tab shows it. When it goes back online, it takes the focus again. When you double-click on the notification-area icon, it destroys its old icon, and creates a new one. So one mouse-up event goes to the next icon, which causes undesired behavior. There may be many more bugs in it. The question is: does it have to be that crappy? Can't they write any better code? Are they VB Programmers? I would never have used it (I never do any messenging?), but I use a Yahoo email address to login to CP. So all notifications go to that address. I have just had enough of it. this is this.

        I'd just like to be the sad sod who points out that using the phrase "X sucks!" shows your mental age all too clearly. If you want to act your shoe size, fine, otherwise get a thesaurus. (And yes, Yahoo Messenger does indeed suck.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

                      Crikey, you are about ready for a mid-life crisis then. Instead of a Porsche you could buy some really expensive Italian shoes... ;) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!
