Ok heres my problem, I decided to upgrade to AIM 5.9 with the for a week the upgrade was great and everything is still fine. But my problem is that I wanted to check out the AIM Expressions, yes I know it was mistake. But I cant get the big bulky thing off the side of my buddylist. I tried to go to get more expressions and clear everything but that didnt work, if you could help me out with getting this big bulky thing off the side of my buddy list it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Note: This is on the buddy list not instant message. Also this is very annoying and any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again!

un-install and get 5.5.3595. You don’t need all that junk in 5.9.
or just un-install/re-install 5.9 if you really want all that bull-oney.

I’m not sure where the tools button is since I removed it but I think it’s at the bottom on that menu you can hide, select tools and toggle, this may hide it.

I am having the same problem!!! I installed a theme, and now I can’t get the stupid sidebar to go away! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling 5.9…..no success. I installed 5.5…..no side, but once you install 5.9 again, it is still there.

It is apparently an expressions setting stored on the servers, rather than on any particular hard drive. Shouldn’t there be a way to clear the Expressions!!!!??????

I’ve also had no luck in trying to contact customer support…..apparently you need to be an AIM Expressions subscriber just to ask a question!

I hope someone can figure this one out!

I have come to figure out that they are stored on the servers and very annoying. I still cant figure out how to remove them, any new suggestions or ideas would be great. Thank you.

Okay, I put this question in another AIM Expression forum, but no one has seen it. So my question is pertaining to skinning. Does anyone in here know where to get updated HTML for skinning 5.9?

Go to:
My AIM -> Select Useful Tools
this will bring up the annoying browser window where you can pick which way AOL can annoy you. There is a link in the lower right hand corner that says: “Remove menu.” Click that link and the big bar is gone!

here is what you do. go into preferences in IM. select the expressions category on the left side. click the “set expressions” tab. this will open a new window for AIM expressions. it will show you what your current expressions settings are. just click the “clear” link under buddy icon, buddy wallpaper, buddy sound, smileys and that should remove all of your expression stuff.

No! that doesn’t work!!! That was the first thing I tried! What we are talking about is a sidebar that’s on the left side of the buddy list. Everything else will go away EXCEPT that sidebar.
