So I just started using the new aim for windows because I wanted to send a picture to my friend. In older versions it would just send the picture straight to my friends computer. Now it seems to upload the picture to their servers and keep it public. There’s now a url which is like http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/……. where anybody can see the picture. How do I delete this? The url is hard to guess because there are a lot of random letters, but I don’t want my picture sitting there for the wold to see forever!!
This link is not working.

ok obviously I don’t want to post up the actual link to my picture. The link is formatted like that, with letters and numbers following that prefx.
The actual link is formatted http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/fss/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxx.jpg where the x’s are a string of letters and numbers. Basically, this is how aim is now sending pictures over “the new aim”. It stores them on its server and keeps it there for everybody to see.
If you just go on aim for windows and try sending a photo, you will see what I’m talking about.
marko2112, this is a great question. I just checked my logs, and a photo that I sent to my buddy four months ago still resolves and displays the image without any authentication… Unfortunately, I don’t know of any way to ask AOL to take the image down. Does anyone know?
