okay people, aim expressions are absolutly FREE on the new AIM 5.9, I dont get what people are talking about charging for them, me and all my friends get them free and we dont have AOL
September 14, 2004 at 6:17 am #38559vikshankerMemberi downloaded the update, ran it, logged in, logged out, and put 5.5.3595 right back where it was. 5.9 is ugly… no one is upgrading so if youre the only one that does you cant d/c with anyone…
aim needs to get some of their ads out of aim… or im tryin out yahoo or msn.
September 17, 2004 at 5:15 am #38560CCarlinoMemberThey will never get me to update from 5.5. I made that mistake once and found myself on http://www.OldVersion.com getting the old one back. Some things are better left un-touched. AIM was one of them…
September 17, 2004 at 7:23 pm #38543QuiksilverMemberyes this whole aim thing… I think I know what theyre doing with the free expressions. they let you have the for free now and let you think ohh how cool and stuff. THEN they charge for them later and get rid of all the ones you have…well I wont be having this problem because I already switched to trillian. I was afraid of aim. and yeah I got yahoo,msn,icq too now… you could instantly call me messenger crazy I dont really care hehe. so yeah I recommend trillian because there is no ads. aim is just…stupid…garbage….ads. and yes I tried 5.9 and almost screamed when I saw it…i ran away into a corner for 5 seconds closed one eye pressed log off quickly went to http://www.oldversion.com to get the old version then I was happy….yes

September 19, 2004 at 5:30 pm #38556evanjm5MemberIt appears to me, you are able to select an inital expression set, but when you go to change the expressions, no one else notices the change – you’re stuck with the first expression you set.
What’s odd is some people see my icon from before I changed to the new expressions, some people see the icon I had from the initial expression, and some people see the icon I have now from when I switched the second time to a new expression. No one can see my new wallpaper.
/EDIT
This is not true. You can change your expressions for free, without limit.
September 19, 2004 at 11:37 pm #38549kyuubiMemberhmmm…it seems that the background and expression is free…..wow…….
September 19, 2004 at 11:43 pm #38540TropicalMemberI lied.. I upgraded.. It’s alright.
Edit/ Anybody know how to get the “What’s New in AIM 5.9” link below your buddy icon off?
September 20, 2004 at 6:01 am #38547_Max_Memberuse reshack and find the IM window dialog, im not sure what number it is but after you find it, just delete the text and save it
September 21, 2004 at 2:36 am #38551bigcfkMemberthere’s probably not a IM window dialog in 5.9 either. sorry buddy.
September 25, 2004 at 4:22 am #38557evanjm5MemberI am not sure if AOL had this planned, but the use of any wallpapers, sounds, or smileys now must be purchased. We’ve had a grace period of a few weeks where these have all been free, however now we no longer have the option to apply the items.
There is a site, though, that allows anyone to apply the costly SuperBuddys to one’s buddy list. (Previously mentioned here.) I decided to see if there was a similar way to apply the now pay-only sounds, smileys, wallpapers, and icons to a free user’s buddy list.
It worked.
September 25, 2004 at 2:09 pm #38544QuiksilverMemberthat’s so stupid! they give you everything for FREE and then they just kinda CHARGE for it, no words said! The thing is I was right!!! in an earlier post I said that they would begin charging for it after you get used to having them…and what do we have now? is AOL just trying to make money? well they won’t because soon enough therell be a bunch of programs that give you access to all the stuff you have to pay for now..just give the people that do that kind of stuff a while. yeah there might be some programs that let you get access to free super buddy icons…but soon therell be add on’s to aim that let you get everything for free again (wait a minute….is that illegal? if you get the stuff you have to pay for for free…?)

September 25, 2004 at 2:46 pm #38558evanjm5MemberActually, like I posted above, dragonreborn, it’s already possible to apply all the expressions using the Super Buddy Icon website. (After the code has been appropriately tweaked.)
September 25, 2004 at 3:07 pm #38545QuiksilverMemberthats great…now does anyone know how to solve the ad problem for 5.9? I dont like ads one little bit so if someone could tell me what little folder to delete so the ads go away that would be great…also all the little buttons at the bottom and the “whats new in aim 5.9” link should go away…anyone know what files/folders to delete to get rid of these things?

September 29, 2004 at 12:31 pm #38561OrionMemberwould it work if I just reinstall 5.5?
September 29, 2004 at 6:41 pm #38533SxyHot262Memberi think there was a question on whether dead aim works with 5.9?
as far as I can tell, it still does everything it should..i can clone aim, my messages are logged, smilies can be changed, etc
my only problem with 5.9 is that my buddy list does not show up right, it will show the bottom of my list up to a certain point, then the top is cut off. has anyone else had a problem with this? also there are a few buttons that should be at the bottom, one being away message…i’m not sure what the other was…but they aren’t there. the only button’s I have are IM, Chat, then an empty space and then Info, then an empty space after that. I thought possibly it was since it was so new and it would work itself out or something, but since no one mentioned this problem…i thought i’d ask
