In yahoo messenger, how do you completely turn off the alert (orange color) when someone messages you?

I've already taken the blinking orange light when someone messages me but I can't seem to turn the color orange alert off. I know the colored alert is helpful but it's not helpful when you're at work haha

Anyone who knows how to do this? I can't see it in the preferences or I must have missed it. Thanks!

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Open the Messenger Preferences window by selecting Preferences from the Messenger menu in the main Yahoo! Messenger window.

Select Preferences from the Messenger menu.

In the Preferences window, select the Alerts & Sounds category on the left.

Select the Alerts & Sounds category on the left.

On the right side of the Preferences window, check Enable alert sounds (it’s checked by default), then select an event from the Alert me when list (such as I receive a message in Yahoo! Mail as shown below).

Select an event from the Alert me when list.

The area below the event list updates to show the possible alerts and sounds that you can set for the selected event.

In the area below the list, check the alert options you would like Yahoo! Messenger to employ when the event occurs.
Then click ok button
