Like all instant messengers, Yahoo Messenger also has their standard emotions or smileys. Simply click on the emotions button while chatting with a person and it will display a list of standard Yahoo emotions for you to choose.
Yahoo Secret Hidden Emotions
Problem with Yahoo Messenger emotions is it is not possible to add new smileys but you can replace the existing ones. That is pretty much useless because only you will see the replaced emotions, not your friends as they will see the standard Yahoo emotions.

Yahoo made their messenger a little bit more interesting by adding hidden emotions which is not displayed in Yahoo Messenger emotions menu. There are dancing, praying, peace sign, alien, bug skill and many more… You can check out Yahoo Messenger hidden emotions at this page.

Wait, I’m not done yet! You know I only share interesting and extra ordinary news or tips with you. There are actually somemore hidden emotions which are not displayed on Yahoo’s hidden emotion page. They are Web Messenger Hidden Emoticons and Web Messenger Star War Edition Hidden Emotions. Check it out!

The same person (RedPhoenix89) who created Yahoo invisible scanner found out the secret undisclosed hidden emotions. I have no idea how he found it, but he did and he is so nice to share it with us. He made a page with all 181 Yahoo Messenger Emotions that includes all standard, hidden, star wars edition and web messenger edition emotions.
Yahoo Secret Hidden Emotion

I’ve tested the hidden emotions using the client and the web messenger. Unfortunately some emotions doesn’t work both ways…
The Standard and normal Hidden emotions works both ways which means if I am using Web Messenger and you are using the desktop version of Yahoo Messenger, both of us can see the emotion.

As for Web Messenger Hidden Emoticons, only user using web messenger is able to see the emotions but not for desktop version. That’s why it is called “Web Messenger Hidden Emotions”. Finally, I test the Web Messenger Star Wars Edition Hidden Emotions and this is really weird. If I use web messenger to send the emotion to another person, both me and the other person using the desktop version don’t see the emotion. But if I use the client version to send the star wars emotions, desktop version don’t see it, but the web messenger sees it.

Out of curiosity, I notice that there is a version 9 Beta for Yahoo Messenger. I downloaded and installed it to test the hidden emotions. Nope, the hidden web emotions still don’t display on the client. I think most probably Yahoo is testing those icons and who knows they might include it in future versions of Yahoo Messenger using plugins or something…
