I know there’s a way to do this, I can’t remember or find it. I know that the site cant have pcitures, jsut text and it will work. Can someone enlighten me?
huh? wanna make your question a bit more clear? what url are you talking about?
he means (example) he wants say…google.com to open in his profile window.
oh I see. nope can’t have it that way. the profile only holds a limited number of characters (1024)….and having a page open up in your profile, well it can’t hold that many characters.
If the link is in your profile, it’s actually quite simple. First, go ahead and put the link in your profile. Then go to your info.htm file… if you’re using Windows XP, you can find it here:
C:Documents and SettingsYour_Current_Windows_login_nameApplication DataAimYour_screenname
Right click the “info.htm” file and “Open with…” notepad. The link will look something like this:
You’ll want to add ” target=”_self” ” into the tag, so it will now look like this:
File, save… viola. Before, I had to go into aim and go through the editing profile dialog, not changing your profile, but just saving it, so AIM will recognize the change you made.
I did this in older version, so I’m not sure if it works in the newer ones, but it should. Also, as mentioned above, no pictures allowed, unless you want to create some spiffy ascii art. 🙂 Also, the page you put in there seemed to go beyond the character limit. 😀
Thanks, but I know that. I mean, click a link and have it open in my profile. I know it cant have pictures or tables, just text. If anyone knows how to do this it’d be great.
