    Personally I am not a great fan of Yahoo Messenger 8, because I am quite happy with GAIM

    We can use user alias feature from Yahoo. So we can login with multiple account. It doesn’t need any plugin. Thilak have you tried this: http://www.supriyadisw.net/2006/04/gaim-messenger-nuovext-icon-theme I love GAIM too :D Sorry for my English :(

    I would rather edit the registery myself.

    I heard these patches have keyloggers in itself and all.

    Secure Way:
    1. Go to Start —-> Run . Type regedit, then enter .

    2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER —-> Software —>Yahoo —>pager—>Test

    3.On the right page , right-click and choose new Dword value .

    4.Rename it as —> Plural

    5.Double click and assign a decimal value of 1.

    Its done!!Now close registry and restart Yahoo messenger and try Multiple Login
