MemberI was wondering the same thing, I saw it the other day in Biology, lol. But AIM Express was messing up and disconnecting from the server then not connecting and stuff.

Keymasterdroplet like thing??
I have never seen such a thing. You might be confusing SMS indicator with it. 😀 ok, whatever but I haven’t seen it.

I’m not sure if that’s what you’re talkin about, but that is what AIM user’s icons look like from AOL

MemberIt’s a buddy icon. It’s for AOL users only, I think. It’s in the gallery.

Membermrsomeone: yeah that’s what i’m talking about.
it’s not a buddy icon. someone showed me her buddylist and the water droplet appeared next to my screenname as well as some others and none of us have any idea where it came from.

MemberIt is a buddy icon. It is the default buddy icon for AOL if no other has been selected. The background is a rainbow also. These are the default. It is just a buddy icon!

It’s the icon that appears on AOL for users on AIM
(if I’m on AIM, and you’re on AOL, you will see that as my icon):rolleyes:

KeymasterOk but it doesn’t appear in AIM express for sure. I don’t even see SMS symobl in AIM express.

MemberMrSomeone…you are wrong…
I will show you that it is simply the default buddy icon for AOL users…

And…talking with myself on my phone…(I don’t usually do this)

Now……my self on my empty aol buddy list because I use AIM to talk to people…

And finally to disprove the “it replaces AIM users’ icons” theory. pyromaniac is on AIM…from the AOL Buddy List (AIM Express is down at this time)…you can see that myself on AIM does NOT have the droplet icon…and if you IMed me, you would see I have a ‘Saddam’s Screwed’ one.

Now…can we all go to sleep tonight knowing that its only a buddy icon?

MemberAlthough I am using a Beta version…this is also true for the final 9.0 Optimized.
