Maybe i’m just slow….but what is a bot??? Also I had asked this before, but didn’t get an answer…I created an expression, but no one else can see it. Is that how the expressions are? or did I do something wrong?????
1.)A bot is a computer that simulates a human, for example “SmarterChild”
2.)Expressions are for you to see only, if they werent, what would happen if two people with different expressions talked to each other?
actually, an expression made by AOL (costs money of course) can be viewed by ne1. go to My AIM-> Edit Options-> Edit Preferences (or just hit F3) and click on ‘AIM Expressions’. at the bottom there is a box that says ‘View Expressions from others’ so click that and u can view other peoples expressions. this would make it so u see theirs in an instant message, but u still have ur own expression
2. Only official expressions can be seen by both parties. Unofficial ones remain only for you to see because first its annoying when other people can change your expression just by IMing you. AOL also felt it was a good idea not to allow this for unofficial expressions could contain harmful coding such as virii or the likes.
Ah, I didn’t know that, so what does happen when two people with an AOL expression talk to each other?
u both would see each others expression
