    Dedndave,so glad you’re back and thanks for the patch! By the way I have a request, can you make a patch that disables those pesky Plug ins and add plugins right above the ad space, those are unnecessary and take up too much room. Thanks please let me know if its possible.

    Hi Everyone,
    Sorry I have been away so long. I have been learning the Win32 API – a lot to learn – lol. Here is the link for the patched exe file for version 10.0.0.542. This patch removes ONLY the main window ad. For those who would like to patch their own files, here is the offset and data:

    offset 735BFh: 84h -> 85h

    Try this patch : http://rs306.rapidshare.com/files/238707182/YM.v9.0.0.2162.zip
    it also has the install for messenger version 9.0.0.2162, but the ad remover that’s in the archive works for most versions out there.If not, you can install version 9.0.0.2162, cause the newer ones are basically the same.

    editing the hosts file DOES work . . . but yahoo’s sms text messaging will no longer function. same goes if you try the new “online chat” function thru yahoo mail it also will not work.
    guess i will put up with the crappy yahoo spam ads in order to preserve sms capabilities.

    ym 9.0.0.2152
    win-xp (sp3)

    Would someone please post a patched YahooMessenger.exe for us? That would be the simplest and most effective way right now, its been a few weeks since the latest 10.0 came out, thanks! Please post if theres any other working patches circulating out there :)

    Yes, please develop the 525 patched yahoomessenger.exe, and if possible as my suggestion, please REMOVE the Plugin buttons at the bottom of the list above the ads, the official hide version just makes it less visible, but those buttons are just like an ad, obtrusive and unnecessary PLEASE MAKE THIS CHANGE, thanks. And of course any of the other ads for webcamming filesharing and just in case they add back the text ad below the text entry field in a message window would also make it so any future patches of future builds will be simpler. Thanks!

    I can only find Yahoo OFFICIAL Beta 10.0.0.525 and not the 553 as mentioned right below me. Can anyone please post it on megaupload or rapidshare or any other file storage site? Thanks, and does the most recent past for earlier builds work on this version? Let me know please and keep up the good work for those making patches thanks. The most ideal would be an already modified YahooMessenger.exe ready made, thanks!

    >> 10.0.0.553
