Yahoo Pal is an add-on program for Yahoo! Messenger, enhancing messaging features and bypassing limitations. Boost your IM experience with added creative options.
This invisible software automatically attaches to running Yahoo! Messengers and new Messengers you run after installation. It adds a menu bar to the Messenger windows and allows you to quit the software by clicking its menu.
The program offers several distinctive features. The first is that it allows multiple accounts to be used on the same computer. Without Yahoo Pal, only one account is allowed to log on to one machine. If you have more than one Yahoo! IM account, this can be a problem. Yahoo Pal makes it so you can log on to all of your Yahoo! IM accounts.
Yahoo Pal also offers the ability to automatically reply with a customized message when you're away. Although you can specify a customized status in Yahoo! Messenger, the default option does not provide an automated reply. With Yahoo Pal, you can specify the auto-reply message for when you're away. Yahoo Pal lets you enable the auto reply function, and it will automatically send the message for you. You can specify different auto-reply messages for different accounts on the same machine.
To protect your conversations, Yahoo Pal offers the functionality to define a hotkey that allows you to hide Yahoo Messenger windows. When this hotkey is pressed, all existing Yahoo! Windows, including system bar icons, will be hidden automatically. If your friend sends you a message while you're hidden, the new IM window won't pop up. Press the hotkey again, and all Yahoo! Windows and system bar icons will reappear.
Another unique feature of Yahoo Pal is the ability to send random quotes or adages to your friends. Yahoo Pal stores over 16,000 quotes and adages, and you can choose to send inoffensive or offensive ones depending on your relationship with your friend.
Overall, Yahoo Pal is a great addition for Yahoo! Messenger users. With added functionality, the software allows for a more personalized and improved IM experience.
