change the font color using the toolabr in the IM window. to read away messages, simply open an IM window without IM'ing the person. It shows their info, along with away message, on the top half of the window.

Troll elsewhere. Your post contributes nothing to the thread. For those people saying it's cluttered or whatever, just look at the default msn7 contact list.....'nuff said.

I wasn't trying to troll...I mean come on....there haven't been a DECENT AIM release for awhile now...every time...the release is bloated and useless...and I am a AIM user my self and I to be honest really don't want another version of AIM that really don't improve the program it self and is buggy...i just want something that works...

This new AIM beta looks great. I'm sure plenty of people will enjoy it when it comes out of beta.

Of course, I on the other hand don't care much for the eye candy of modern apps like this and prefer to stick to GAIM and skins for my apps that are just simple. I even use Windows Classic on XP.

Oh well. People will like this release none the less.

It actually looks nice, gotta get rid of those ads though. I'm sure there will be some sort of ad hack when it's official.

I'd say there will be one within the next week or so.

It does look very nice. The only real problems I've had to far is that I was downloading a Fedora disc, and had to pause the download because it was lagging AIM. Strange. :unsure:

Well AIM installed other services I didn't want running. When I closed AIM, because it lagged, I couldnt close the other 'AOL Connect' icon without the task manager. I want to chat with people, not all that crap. gAIM does what this does, its faster and it is a lot less glitzy. I had it installed for 3 minutes and took it off. That is my opinion, maybe final will be better.

It has been confirmed that this is not AIM 6.0 and will be released with a future suit of applications (just like AOL Communicator in 2004) with another major AOL milestone program that is currently in beta development.

As far as a hack, since this is not built on the same platform of AIM and more of an AOL platform (notice the connection to the AOL Address Book and the memory leak, as well as a lack of main AIM features) it is doubtful that a hack for the one ad will be developed/released.

To all the AOL haters, when you can bring something to the table that is as compact and simplistic as this program that connects to the 'most widely used' service, let us know. As for now, this is a HUGE step for AOL and the AIM service. Goodbye grey gui, goodbye AIM Today (ad [welcome] screen), goodbye 15 IM windows...today is a new day...now if only we can have some basic features back and some that have been on a wish list since the beginning of time.

For all official information on phase releases/screenshots/downloads/message boards head over to the offical beta area for this test: http://beta.aol.com/projects/tritonbeta/

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
