How do I message someone on yahoo?

How can i change the sound that is played when someone sends me a message in yahoo messenger (version 8)?

  • I downloaded the newest version of Yahoo! Messenger & when someone sends me a message I hear this noise that sounds like a bubble popping (it used to sound like a ringing noise). I have tried going into Preferences and clicking APPLY, and even signed out of Yahoo! Messenger & back in, but it still makes the same sound when someone sends me a message. If I am out of the room, I can't hear when someone sends me a message.

  • Answer:

    as you're running v8 of yahoo messenger you might want to check out is a new plugin (from the yahoo gallery) WackyB Spoken Status/Status Alert http://gallery.yahoo.com/apps/513/locale/en which gives you... • individual sounds not only for each friend but also for each action (Online/Offline/Status Change/New message) for each friend • Choose from a library of supplied sounds or select your own (Any sound type WAV/MP3/AVI/MPG/etc). • Have the status changes of your friends read aloud to you by Peedy (MS Agent Character), Peedy will let you know when your friends come online and leave as well as message status changes. • Last friends status change is shown in the main window along with their chosen image/avatar. • A log is also kept so you can see if a friend has been online that you missed. • Instantly mute all sounds from the main plugin window, Setup sound mute when you are busy/Idle etc..

Yes you can try checking out the various sounds for that even when someone sends you a message. Go to Messenger Menu, Preferences, Alerts&Sounds. Select the event, " I receive an Instant Message or SMS message" and then you can browse the various sounds available. Make sure you have sound alerts enabled on the same page. Note yahoo changed its sounds in newer buildings of version 8 and also 8.1. So you may not find what you are looking for but don't dispair you can get the old ones back.
