I know this is a weird question:D, but, has anyone found out how to get rid of the Playing Game Away Message:confused:
No, you can’t get rid of it but BUT you can edit it to read what you want. On the AIM interface, click Prefs, then a window will open..then click on the tab that says Away Message, then find the playing game away message, then highlight that then click edit.
OK, I’m, really getting tired of wrong answers.
Open up regedit (Start | Run | Regedit)
BE VERY CAREFUL EDITING THE REGISTRY. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

hey now, some people are just posting what they know… not many people know how to do anything with the registry… dont tell me you always knew all the answers to every question? people are just trying to be as helpful as possible with what they know. i thought that was what BBB encouraged?

I’ve always known everything. 😉
Really though; Yes, your correct, but unless your sure of your answer, you should no state it as a fact (as s/he did). I still don’t know that much, but I do my research to find the answers.
Yeah, that’s weird. Even the default away message can be deleted but not the playing game one? Anyway, if you’re desperate to delete the message then go to the trouble of editing the registry. But that’s always a risky thing, be extremely careful of what you do.
I’m surprised.Quote:quote:Originally posted by Davidunless your sure of your answer, you should no state it as a fact
I think they were indeed very sure about their answer. They tried to remove the ‘Playing Game’ away message, but failed, so from their point of view it was ‘not possible’. However, there indeed is a way to remove that message. They just were not aware of that.
Proving wrong, is one thing. Correcting… is another.

Humm… I see your point there, I’ll try to be less rude in ‘correcting’ answers.
