MemberThis isn’t so much of a problem as just a question that I feel is impossible to find an answer to from anyone but an expert.
I was talking to a buddy the other night, and after we were done I did not save their screen name. I do not have a logging program on my computer. Is there any POSSIBLE way that I can get that persons screen name back? (Assuming they dont have it either, and i dont remember a single letter, etc.)

MemberYes, there is. Go on AIM and press a group name, such as Co-Workers. Then press [Alt] + [O]. There you will see screennames of profiles you previously viewed. You can do the same things for your IM window.

ParticipantThey should also be automatically added to your ‘Recent Buddies’ group now, unless you deleted it.

Keymasterif you havn’t talked to more than ~11 people (screennames) since you talked to the person, you should be able to see the screenname in the drop down list that you find when you type alt+i (People>>Send Instant Message). if you viewed this person’s profile, you can maybe also see their screenname in the drop down list when you type alt+o (People>>Get Buddy Info), as Clobbex said.

MemberWell sometimes when you restart your computer and turn off AIM it clears that list I don’t know what to tell you.

MemberI’m sorry, I must have not seen it, because I’m using my Pocket PC, and the screen is tiny.
