How do you get rid of the limit that aim puts on profiles? I was browsing the web one day and i found it, but didnt bother to do it, and now that i want to do it, i can’t find it for the life of me. please help! 🙂
Unfortunately, you no longer can. There used to be a couple of tricks that worked (editing the info.htm outside of AIM or a registry hack), but AOL changed how they handle profiles. Now when you login to AIM, your profile is sent to their server. If it’s longer than the allowed size, the excess is truncated.
By the way, this information is also found, in somewhat less verbose form, in the AIM FAQs pinned to the top of our AIM forum. (hint.. hint!) 😉
You can still use a few tricks to increase your profile length, but they all involve putting a link to another html page into your profile. Also, you must be running AIM 4.8 to keep the link within the “View Profile” window – otherwise it will open up a new webpage in your internet browser.
That’s an example of the code. You then need to create a webpage at that address that contains your extended profile.
If you click that link, it will open a new IM window, where you can click the profile button to look at my profile. (it also launches a browser window…you can close that.:o)
Once you edit info.htm, you need to either sign off, or go through the “Edit Profile” process in AIM, click the “Finish” button, and it will update your profile on the AIM servers.
i use the buddyprofiles, like unlimitedprofile, its very cool, unlimitedprofile.com is coming with a new version very soon, i am so excited, but the site is closed, but if anyone had unlimitedprofile and wanted to edit it, its a frontpage, you can get access to it, its http://www.unlimitedprofile.com/frontpage.php . 🙂
Some other Subprofile links:

http://www.buddyprofile.com
http://www.madprofile.com/If you don’t want to put a link in your profile, you can still lengthen it to a certain extent. using AIM “edit profile” to edit your profile usually throws in several long, unneeded html tags. if you have a working knowledge of HTML you can still edit “info.html” on something like notepad, just don’t use more than 1,034 characters. I worked with mine for a little while and was able to get signifigantly more information in the profile.

no you dont…. not at all… as long as the webpage is simple HTML tags, it will still open it inside the profile window… i have 5.2.3292 and it works in the profile window, as long as you have the “_self” command
