Yep, but... just from a glance at their bug tracker and their commits list... they made quite a few changes to the Yahoo plugin's handling of avatars and such in January that're in 4.4... so their go-to answer on Yahoo avatar related issues seems to be "Try it on 4.4, then come back if it's still broken." So... to save a little time and effort when that answer's thrown around... might be best to test with that. I don't have QT or anything that depends on it on any of my boxes (the only box I actually have X on right now's my netbook, so adding's not even a feasable option) and my yahoo account went dead a few years ago, so I'm not much use for testing. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
