My pleasure, coolguy.
When I would get the worm virus from someone I knew, she happened to open the virus. She kept opening which would send people on her list the virus. I had sent her a message to let her know about the problem, which didn’t do any good so I had to block her E-mail addresses from getting through and I deleted every one in my address book so no one on my list would get it from me. Now I am in the habit not saving E-mail addresses in my address book, which is not a problem for me. I can memorize E-mail addresses most of times. 🙂
I see. I just registered an AIM screen name, it came through for me.
If you’ll go back to http://screenname.aol.com and look for little box that says “Membership Setup and click on the hyperlink that says “Get a Screen Name.”
Or try this link: http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?siteId=snshomepage&authLev=1&mcState=initialized&createSn=1&triedAimAuth=y .

syntheticfleshxx; if you don’t understand how it works, please let us know and we’ll try helping you. 🙂
That was probably because the server has been down.
If you are in need to register for another screen name: You can use the link: http://screenname.aol.com – there shouldn’t be any problem using the site. Hope this helps.
I have not used Odigo for a while, because it did not work for me.
Anyway, I went to Odigo.com site and found some info: http://www.odigo.com/help/icqaol.html
EDIT: I looked through the Odigo site, it seems that Odigo only allow users to use AOL IM/AIM, ICQ and MSN Messenger on newer version. You might want to consider other instant messaging clients like Trillian, Easy Message or MECCA in order to use Yahoo! Messenger.
I’m afraid there is no way you can delete your AIM screen name. What I did was to change to different password that I will not remember.

EDIT: I just searched and found this old thread: https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=611&SearchTerms=Delete,AIM
Found another, I don’t know if this really works but that won’t delete your screen names from the database: http://www.imhut.com/aimtutorials/deletescreenname.php
When I first downloaded the Pal-Talk software at my friends’ requests, I went in the chatroom which I didn’t like what I saw, so I told my friends forget it and immediately uninstalled the Pal-Talk software. That was about three years ago!
Yeah. Delete that once you get in your E-mail. The worm virus has been around for some months now. Sighs.

http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99950OK. I have tried using the E-mail Express feature (via Outlook Express and ICQ.com) to my ICQ, and still have not gotten anything. I have come to believe that AOL may have disabled the feature. 🙁
The E-mail Express feature worked fine when I first used ICQ in 1996.

but how do u get the ip?From ISPs (Internet Service Providers). Is that what you’re trying to ask?
EDIT: Forgot to add… Different IP addresses are assigned to each computer. The IP addresses starts from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. It is just like the telephone companies assign phone numbers 200-0000 to 999-9999.
You can easily find IP address when someone forwards or send you E-mail messages. That probably was what he did.
OK. This sounds like it did not get through. Have you tried the registration section again and see if you can type in the one you wanted in the first place?
Oh my.. I know why BigBlueBall.com seemed familiar. I remember surfing on BigBlueBall in 2001 and 2002 before this change. It makes it more interesting and fun to see how websites like this change over the years. 🙂
Probably because the majority of AIM users are AOL subscribers?
Many of the deaf (hearing impaired) people I have known or run into think AOL is a wonderful thing that ever happened to them.
I stopped using AIM full-time after AOL released its latest AIM versions (4.7 and up) to the public so I use ICQ and MSN Messenger most of times. Yahoo! Messenger 5.6 is very nice, but that is something I’d rather stay away from for now. I will only use AIM and Yahoo! Messenger is if I am using Trillian. 😉
Trillian Pro and Trillian .74 are good, but I don’t use the clients very often. I would say after version 3, Trillian probably would be worth to buy and use. They probably would be left with just three (IRC, Yahoo and maybe Jabber) to connect while Microsoft and AOL-Time Warner work as a team to make MSN Messenger and AOL/ICQ to be interoperability together.. I personally would recommend against the purchase of Trillian Pro until we hear something about Microsoft and AOL-Time Warner. 😉
