The most noticeable difference to version 5.5 (apart from the smileys) is that the buttons have had a wee makeover (have to say it's kinda cute!) and we'll take them for a test drive a little later on to see if 5.5 is compatible with v5 skins but at first glance the button sizes are different so stay tuned for the update.

Sounds..
Included in 5.5 are the following wav files...

these are stored at C:Program FilesYahoo!MessengerMedia

Missing is...
<snd=newdoorbell> (which was the same as <snd=doorbell>)
<snd=theyodel> (which has always been the same as <snd=yahoo>)


Smileys Off...
In version 4 we could turn our smileys off.. a good thing if you weren't in the mood for a lot of grinning, winking and crying but when version 5 came out this feature had been removed.. now 5.5 is on the table it's a back..
