MemberIf you don’t use add-ons, then you should just upgrade. If you do use add-ons, stick with 5.2 for now until some of them are compatible with 5.5.

MemberI have tried the latest BETA of AIM 5.5, still don’t like it. Too many bugs. It seems like AIM is going down the tube.

Memberid give it a try and see if you like it. you might like some of the new features. i personally use screen name linking alot, but video and games i havent used yet. the only unbearable thing about 5.5 is the ad window. i dont remember if it was that big in 5.2 but all you need is reshack to change it or download it from one of these sites that people have been posting.

MemberIf I wanted to reshack AIM 5.5, what would I have to look for to get rid of that stupid Internet Explorer ad window that keeps popping up? I killed Wild Tangent and AOD, but I still get that ad.

MemberIs it just me or does this new AIM lend itself to much to dishonesty and sneakyness? One thing I liked about AIM was that it was all or nothing. If you didn’t want to chat with someone, you could block them, and they would also appear offline, they couldn’t see you, you couldn’t see them. Now you can hide from all, and lurk in the shadows. Lends itself to abuse and paranoia. I can see the future of my aimlist being empty, everyone being invisible, and having to guess who’s on or not.
