Another oh-so-basic flaw with AIM. 😡
AIM’s html buddy profiles and away messages can get VERY annoying at times. Like trying to format text. Especially URL’s. Simple tags should make this easy. But it isn’t. I’m so sick of not being able to format simple things like URL’s. I want to put up an away message with a message and a url. So I type the message and insert the URL, both in unformatted text so I wouldn’t go over the limit.
So it’s working out fine until I have to change something in it. I go back, AIM reformatts the text to my default format, which takes a few seconds to change, and gets annoying after a while. But, since AIM is so fussy about little things like URL’s, it was stuck and I was over the limit so I couldn’t save.
Fine. I’ll just change the message back to Times New Roman, take out the color, and copy and paste it into a new one, then retype the url. Ok, but now AIM won’t let me change anything about the format leaving me unable to save. I guess the time wasn’t completely wasted, because I realized another basic issue AIM has that is too hard to ignore.
Sorry if you are sick of my ranting. Then again, deal with it.
