O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00	Hmm, that's pretty cool. Only not-quite-so-cool thing about it is that it's just a blank space where the ad should be. You don't get that space reclaimed for more list room. "dream yourself awake" he calls "an eternity awaits us all open your eyes and be with me forever.." HOO HOO.. I INVENTED SIGS LIKE THIS!!

Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00	yeah, I thought the same thing FTL... but at least the blinking ads are gone. You can also edit the "Playing a Game" away message by editing the registry...but I haven't bothered. **EDIT** Here's how to edit the reg in case anyone's interested in trying it... Getting rid of the Playing Game away message 1. Click [Start Menu] 2. Click [RUN...] 3. Type in "regedit" (Without the quotation marks) 4. When in the regedit (Registry Editor) program go here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger(TM)\CurrentVersion\Users\**your SN**\IAmGoneList 5. Right-Click it (The lil' piece of scrap paper) 6. Select [Modify] from the menu 7. Change the stuff between the Playing A Game to get rid of that title then put something else in at the end for the message. It updates automatically. ***** There are two types of people on this board... those who can read this and those who can't... ***** This message was edited by Turk on 3-15-02 @ 4:40 PM

Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00	Why would you go through the trouble of going into the Registry to modify an Away message when you can edit it on your own through the AIM preferences? Can I help you? E-mail me.

Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00	Actually, JGNYC, I think that registry edit was supposed to change the "label" of the "playing a game" message, but it's a moot point since after testing them, neither tweak works past a reboot. There is a newer plug-in out call My IM that supposedly does what FTL was reffering to. It deletes the Ad's blank space leaving you more room for names. I'll edit this post later, when i have a chance to give it a try. (friggin' mondays...) ***** There are two types of people on this board... those who can read this and those who can't... ***** AIM

Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00	Well either way, you can do that through the prefs. You should check out this program called AIM+. I have been using it for afew months and it is great. Here's the link: Visit this Website Can I help you? E-mail me.

Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00	Give Trillian a try. Its free, no banner ads, and you can connect to AIM, Yahoo, MSN, IRC and ICQ all at the same time while using less resourses than AIM alone. Plus its skinnable, too. AOL IM- DegnerNJ DegnerNJ@OpieAnthony.com "Before you walk down this road, you'd better have a map."-Me Get free condoms
