SMILEYS FACES.

Ok... i found some links some Smiley's that you can install instead of using Yahoo version.

Here's a few hints before you do start using them.

 

Its a good idea to keep you old Smiley's. So make a new folder and copy them into it. You can normally find them in C:\program files\Yahoo\messenger\media\Smiley's.
That way, you can always delete them new faces and put your old 1s back.

If you installed the new faces and now want to get rid of them, but you didn't save your old face's. Then the easiest way to get them back is to reinstall yahell. (although you will loose any custom emotes.)

One more thing. The Smiley's you install are only visible on you computer unless your friends install them as well ;)

Alernative Smileys
Make all your smileys animated... This just animates the unanimated smileys in yahell 5.5. Best of the three I think.

BOOTERS

If you use yahoo even for the smallest amount of time using messenger. You will find it will stop for no reason, It will Quit with an Error message and sometimes it will even cause your computer to CRASH.
You may blame Yahell for this and ultimately it is there fault because there chat system seems very fragile and open to attack.

In this world you will find people who don't want you to enjoy what your doing and make it as difficult to do as is possible, and on yahoo these people are Booters. The Booters have programs that cause problems that cause Yahell to stop working.

Simple Advice that might help.

As near to sure thing as you get.
Up to now the programs that have stopped users being booted have been near on usless But I suggest you try this one...Y!Tunnel it seems to stop booters(most of the time), Gets rid of the annoying ads. Stop multiple Emotes..and stops unwanted PMs
Y!TUNNEL.
(Read any warnings and take note:))

Of course you don't have to use yahoo. If you don't want to use the voice then there a couple of programs that seem to do a good job without getting booted. One to keep an eye out for is YahElite. Some claim to have voice but i haven't seen one where it works yet. Know different tell it to the Guest-book, and ill add it as a link.

There 2 main methods i've seen that booters use to boot you. One method is just giving yahoo to much to do. Just giving it loads and loads to do until it decides it has had enough and quits. The second method is to leave a code that seem to cause yahoo to quit.

There are few simple things you can do to make it a bit more difficult for the booters in messengers.
Only accept instant messages from people on your friends list. Do this by clicking on Login in messenger and then Privacy and select ignore anyone who is not on your friends-list.

Delete friends who have moved onto using new name because there other names have been hacked.(a hint-- when selecting your password make it as difficult to hack as possible. Don't use date of birth / your name / your username /guest.. try using letters and numbers something like >>> PaS5w0rd... it may be a bit more difficult to remember but it makes it that bit more difficult to hack.)

For some other simple changes that could help. Click here...

You want some of this?

So your board of getting booted?

You want some revenge?

Well I would suggest best bet is not to bother, why waste your time and efforts of these useless idiots. Haven't you got something more worthwhile to do with your life?

NO :o ... well I am shocked ;)...

Well here is a site full of boot programs.. and more important, if you can figure out how it works there's a bootshield. Bootshields are meant to stop you from being booted.(I suggest you virus check everything u download.) Click Here

Download music
Since Napster, there have been many sites that let you down load music mp3 and .wav files directly from other peoples computer.  Generally you download some software from there web site, sign up to there product, and start downloading. If you've got a normal phone link to your ISP then you could be in for a shock, because download times seem verrrrry slow.

WinMX
WinMX is a FREE file-sharing program like no other. It allows you to simultaneously connect through the decentralized WinMX Peer Networking Protocol AND to many networks based on the OpenNap and Napster protocols.

That's the blurb you get on the page. Its a good program that's not to difficult to use.

Morpheus
This link takes you to musiccity.com which is the distributor of Morpheus.

This program allows the user to share there files and download other people's files, it makes it really easy, by categorising them into file type. Audio, Video, Documents etc. Allows you to play the music you downloaded from the site by a media that is part of Morpheus.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

If a problem comes up that I can solve or help to solve. Then I will post my or a Users solution below.

If you have a problem and want us to solve it; then post it on the Guestbook and I will do my best to solve it, or maybe a friendly user might solve it for you.

SPACE SAVING.

If you have a small or even medium sized hard drive, then you will find that them 3-4mb music files will soon eat up the hard-disk space.

Most music files finish with the extension .wav or .mp3 and converting these to slightly less quality may save you a lot of hard disk space, without it being to noticeable  on the playback. 

If you look at your music files when they are downloading you may notice it says somewhere on the description 128kbps that is the quality of the file. You may be able to save these at 1/2 the quality without noticing 2 much difference. So i've looked at a package today that lets you do that.

Generally you will get better results converting to .mp3 files, as these are compressed files.

 

dbPOWERAmp.

 This program lets you open mp3 file and wav files and convert them to a lesser quality or different formats.

It's easy to use.

You run the program,  it then asks what file you want to convert, then what sort of file you want to convert to. You probably want to convert to MP3.

Then a screen opens, that allows you to set the quality of the file you are converting.  You can change the BitRate slider that show on the screen and you can also change the Frequency rate. The lower each of these are the worse the quality and the smaller the file.

I Converted a 128kbps Song 'The Dance' Its original size was 3.36megabytes. I changed the BitRate slider to 48bps and the frequency rate to 22050hz and got a song size of 1.28megabytes, without any noticeable difference in quality of sound.

I could of made these settings lower and it would of taken up less space, but you do get to a point where the sound quality falls of badly.

You can get it from www.tucows.com.  Click Here

Animated Smiley's

You can look at yahoos Smiley's in

Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Media\Smiley's
or where ever you put you installed yahoo to.

Here you will see a list files named 1,2,3 etc and a,b,c etc. These are Gif files. So you can use the MS Paint package to edit these.

Before you do.. I suggest you make a copy of these files. Just in case.

I downloaded a free Gif animator called Microsoft GIF Animator You can find this at www.softpile.com . You can then load a smiley, edit to how you want it. Then copy the picture and put it in the animator. Then edit the picture again and copy again to the animator.  Until you have finished you animation. Then save it in the folder above. Replacing the original picture file with your animation.

Then next time you press the code for that smiley. your animation will come up in its place.

If I find there is any interest in how to do this ill do a separate page. With a step by step guide. Trying to explain more clearly.

These Animations are only visible on your System. Unless you give the animation Smiley's to your friends.

If you want to give them away free. then send them to me, and ill put them on the website. So people can download them.
