YM! status length problem(solved)
On the date 3rd of october, Yahoo Messenger status bar cannot put status longer than 40 characters and this caused many problem to all of us. But, this afternoono I found a way to solved this problem. I have tried it in 2 computers and it works. Hope this will help you.
It is just an easy 2 steps solution.
1. You need to go to "C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache" and open the system.xml using note pad.
2. Then, you just need to close you yahoo messenger and open it again. Then you can type long status again. 
(Remember not to close the system.xml while you close and reopen your YM)
This how you open the system.xml using note pad.
This is how the system.xml look like when u open it.
For this method, you do not need to edit anything. 
Hope this can help you.
