Answer: This is just my educated guess but I believe aol servers some times go down and your buddy list is stored on there system (thats probably the reason for a limit to the amount of buddys). When this server goes down it becomes unavailable for a short period of time. I have found that when this happens its usually back up at max an hour I would say. Also sometimes an aol main server (im guessing here as well) goes down and you cant even log on aim.
would be nice but I have found that aol enjoys making aim sad. There would probably be some problems with it overloading the server with all the dl’ing of the wav files and im sure aol doesnt like that (event though they got a TON of servers… a list that goes on for a long time). Plus I know people are already annoyed with the sound buddy icon that plays everytime the window gets reopened, so I could just imagen the annoyance of sounds in the away message.
Freedom Profiles is currently down. My host, as Jeff said, was mostly the main problem with freedomprofiles in the slowness. The host has gotten a new connection (2mbs up and down) and we are now waiting for his dns server to get registered so that it can be used.
I can tell you that the last thing I was working on for freedomprofiles was what I call freedombot. A bot on aim (basictly just an interfaice with menus) that will allow you to add your real name (so that when vieiwing freedom profiles that wanna display real name if yours is not given in there account it will use the one u gave the bot) and I am gonna get some sort of bloging system. You will be able to add the screen name of the owner of your account (by default this will be the screen name you entered when registering) and then when you talk to the bot you can add more blogs and ofcourse add/edit/delete them through freedom profiles.
I also am being bugged by a friend to get guestbooks working so that will be the next thing after the blogs work.
search for smething like aim sound buddy icon tutorial
You should find a tutorial on how to use cool edit to shring em down a lot.
I’m not sure what you mean by a link. I have made my own that are pretty decent. But what you do is u need to make the sound file below the size limit and then when your going to select your buddy icon u go to the folder tha thas the file and put in * and press enter in the filename input box and then it will show all file types. You then select your sound file and hit ok. Most people find it annoying but who cares what they think.
I managed to shring a file that says “You have the right not be an asshole, if you give up that right everything you say and do in here will be held agianst you”
I also got ones that say:
Insuficient data to formulate a reply (in a robotic voice)
Just one moment please
(Freaky laugh)
Shut up you putz
(Spam song… come the spam, wonderfull spam)So far the best program I found for this is cool edit. If you know of a easier or better one plz let me know.
exactly If the restriction is only set by the program it can be tweaked only problem is most likely the program is also set to only read buddy icons that are smaller 8k so that other people wouldnt be able to hear it
No I didnt mean witdh and height I meant the file size.
Sorry for the confusion on my question.
I just dont like the file size limitations because I have sound files that I cant reduce to that size that I wanna use.
thanks sciencefeeling, and that paint pallete thing I plan to make it able to click to freeze the color and have buttons like “make background” and “make default font color”, ect.
Jeff my current host isnt the greatest but its free and free is always nice. I have another host lined up that I should be mooving to before the new year.
However with either of these I do not know the maximum I’d be able to support. I do know that I really do not likea ads and if I am forced to emplace ads I would not enforce them on any of the pre-registered users.
Thank you, I’ve worked very hard on it and I hope to make it the best profile provider, thats why I am open to any sujestions and feature requests.
But I must say Jeff, you really have to register to see how it really is. So far the people that I’ve talked to that have used it really like it.
Only problem is getting the word out 🙁 and since I unlike other providers will not enforce a thing like “sponsored by freedom profiles” it makes it that much harder.
Thank you for accepting my link in your links section though :)!
