For some reason, when I recieve an IM in a window that’s out of focus, the task bar no longer flashes. I looked in the prefs. section, and found a setting for chat rooms, but not private IM conversations. Is this a bug or glitch in the latest AIM version, or was this something that was removed on purpose? If it was removed on purpose, is there anything I can get, as far as a patch or something, to make my previous version of AIM no longer obsolete?
Thanks in advance.
This happens to me too, when I use the latest version.
I am not sure what it is, but other people are known to notice this too.
It really is annoying, having a convo and minus it only to let it sit for 2 hours not thinking they are IMing you back when you found they have IMed thousands of times and signed off, right in the middle of a good convo!Try Downgrading bck to 5.2 (A lot better)

Are you using any add-ins?
Add-ins, or add-ons? Only thing I’m using is DeadAIM 4.5, and that has no affect on the task bar button at all.
Add-ins, Add-ons whatever…I don’t know then. In AIMutation you have to set it to where the taskbar will blink when you receive an IM.
I’ve never used that before, so not having it isn’t the problem. The last AIM version I used was 5.2, and the button would blink, then.
EDIT: Well I managed to find a version of AIM that isn’t obsolete, and the task bar still isn’t flashing, so I have no clue what’s wrong.
EDIT (again): I’ve even done a system restore, and it still won’t flash! My friend, who is using the exact same version of AIM as I am (5.2.3292), has the flashing task bar button, but not me. I’ve uninstalled DeadAIM, and no change. AIMUtation has the feature and all, but AIMUtation also just generally sucks ass.
