this problem has been around since 2004. i’ve scoured the entire net to find help, but nobody has been able to answer this. it’s definitely been happening to many people.
i just made a new sn, and when i tried to change the format right afterwards, it just hung on “connecting to server.”
curiously, when i changed my original sn format, it went instantly. so i know it’s not my computer nor the software causing it. just to make sure, i used various clients, and the result is the same.
is it because they changed it to an integrated name service? but this problem dates back to 2004.
please. someone help. it actually matters to me.
February 25, 2006 at 7:28 pm #138764BladerunnerMemberThat happened to me a while ago, and then it just started working again… right now, it isn’t working.
I want to capitalize one of my screen names, no work. I’m thinking maybe it will work on a different computer?

Maybe it depends on how old the screenname is? They will not let you change the format on new ones but old ones are ok? I do have a screename from 1999 and I can still change the format on that one as of today. My other one I havent tried yet.
February 26, 2006 at 8:08 pm #138767klentropyMemberno it doesn’t matter what comp you try it from.
February 28, 2006 at 2:16 pm #138768klentropyMemberno one?
March 1, 2006 at 10:15 pm #138761Jeff HesterKeymasterCan you give an example of what you’re trying to do, and what version of AIM you’re running?
March 5, 2006 at 6:09 pm #138762Someguy03MemberGo to options > “Format screename once”
MiniFormatMarch 20, 2006 at 5:13 am #138763bronxyMemberI have 2 screen names. One, that I have used since AIM first came out, and a new one I just recently made.
Both I have tried to format the screen name, and they do not work.
Also when I go to the option “Update Email Address.” It never responds, it just sits at connecting.I am using the latest AIM 5.5
I tried to format my screen name on 5.9, and it did not work. I tried Triton, and it finally worked. It must be the old AIM’s
April 20, 2006 at 3:18 am #138769adamiscoolParticipanthow do you format screen names on triton? i dont use it, mainly because it sucks, but i was just wondering. i didnt think you could format your sn on aim triton
May 25, 2006 at 12:26 pm #138770MorningStar06MemberCan someone please re-upload the MiniFormat if you have it? I’m getting the same error, too!
May 25, 2006 at 10:20 pm #138766FizzMemberSign on your screenname and password
Click the interaction tab and right click your screenname click Format Nickname
Format they way you want then click ok;)
