WackyB TabIM Auto Reply lets you use Tabbed IM window with Yahoo Messenger and set up Auto Reply messages to be sent when you are busy or away from your computer. When users send you a new IM they receive your away message (you can store and instantly switch between 5 different away messages). When you return the tabbed message windows makes it easy to review each message without cluttering your desktop with multiple windows. (Details of Tabbed IM windows for Yahoo Messenger [here...] )
Problems with the current tabbed IM chat windows for Yahoo Messenger make it almost impossible to use:
- You have to have a IM window open to receive new IM messages
- You don't know which tab has sent you a new message
- you don't know if any new messages have been received if the Tab IM window has focus
- You have to resize the window each time a new message tab is opened
- Changing and closing tabs does not change the window title
- You have to run a reg file to enable/disable each time
WackyB-IMTab-Fix solves all these problems:
- Enables tabbed IM windows when you start WackyB-IMTabFix
- Disables tabbed IM windows when you close
- New IM windows are displayed correctly
- Notification is given in window title when new message received
- Sound alert with new IM from hidden tab
- Changing tabs updates window title
- First IM received displays correctly ** IF YOU DONT RUN THIS UTILITY AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A TABBED IM WINDOW OPEN YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE NEW IM MESSAGES! **

WackyB TabIM Auto Reply includes all the features of our free utility
+ the following main features:
• Improved Tab switching (more reliable at correctly displaying the user name in the window title bar)

• Closing Tabs more reliably updates the correct window (with the free utility, closing tabs will sometimes display a different window to the selected tab)
Auto Reply features:
• Auto Reply/Responder sends a personalised message to anyone that sends you a message.
• Choose between 5 away messages which you can personalise yourself
• Away messages received are shown in tabbed windows for convenience of reviewing messages when you return

• Use special codes in your away message to include the users name and current time in your message
Special codes in your messages:
#A# is replaced with the current users name who sent the message

(let users know the time zone difference and get an idea of when you will be back)
