Well, I posted my reply because: the link does not work. 🙂
But if you or anyone else wants to find the patch, use Google and search for:
icq anti-banner patch
That’s it. The sites that come up are not the best of sites to be looking at, but the patch is available using other methods.
Hope this helps others who might be stuck trying to find or get the patch with above links.
I got the anti-banner patch for 3916.
If anyone is interested, please PM me thru the forum.
I don’t know if I can upload the file to a post in this forum, tho.
Laters!
Ok here are the steps I took one by one:
Deleted banners.xml, clbanner.xml, psearch.xml and datafiles.xml
Created folders with the same exact names as the files I deleted
I copied a different GIF file over climage.gif.
Voila! My own image in the client and no banner ads.
Nice to know about deleteing those files and creating the folders. I had to take an extra step and delete the datafiles.xml file and create a folder in its place, too. Why? I kept editing climage.gif and climage.html but they kept getting downloaded from ICQ. 😀
So far I think doing the folder tweak is better than going into the registry. I wouldn’t recommend mucking about inside there. LOL
Thanks for the folder tweak information.
