AIM Triton beta 0.1.12

[L3thal Veteran]

I shall test this after beta 2 or beta 3. Maybe this will steer me away from Trillian :p

[YBG]

One other thing I'm not feelin about this new AIM so far is that it won't skin with the rest of Windows...Trillian is just as stubborn and it ticks me off..

[Bkbro429]

Ha ha, I only use AIM because all of my 172 buddies use it (with 3 or 4 on MSN and Yahoo!) I use Trillian just because of the tabs and chat logging and its pretty UI due to ugly AIM... So once Triton goes gold (and Beta2 and up).. I'll be a happy customer.

^Still can't log into the Triton message boards though :-/

[SkaterAustin]

I like this beta, but one thing that is killin me here! i want to be able to minimize aim into my system tray like previous versions...

[Bkbro429]

Beta2 is around the corner.... They say about every few (2) weeks... a new beta is coming out, with the GM/Final by years end.

Well this is on the main page now:

And Neowin confirms it as the next AIM.. For you two doubters

Last time I ever post news on Neowin again.. thanks shockz for making a newcomer feel so welcome and using your power for your own personal views. It's people like you that give journalism a bad name and think they are better than other people because they are a mod.

But all is good, have fun kids.

See-ya

How come it wont let me download it? Can anyone post a mirror?

[Bkbro429]

There is a direct link to the setup file at the top of page 12 of this thread. And on page 7 or 8 or something is a mirror to the online download of the program.

dude, is it really that big of a deal?

Go outside, get some air, but i really don't understand why you're getting so ****ed off about this.

I mean just imagine if bill gates were bitching because people were saying Longhorn isnt version 6 of Windows. who really cares? its JUST a name

This may sound stupid but u know in the regular AIM how u can right click a buddy and go on "Show Info" for their profile etc. ... how do u do it on here??

[Randolph]

Has not been implemented yet.

I'm missing that feature as well.

One thing I probably use regular in AIM and its not there in this beta.

I'm sure it will be added as new betas are made available.

Still pretty crappy looking and clunky.

Also I got a survey pop up through IE while logged through AIM.

Which made me mad. More pop-ups through my chat client.

Not cool.

Are you kidding me?

Grow up. Your the one who's calling me arrogant etc...

I go by the facts... not assumptions.

:rolleyes:

I have no regret for my posts/actions... as I did nothing wrong.

I don't see how i'm abusing my status and power. All I did was edit a title for clarity. Way to get up set about something so minor. :sleep:

[Veedems Veteran]

Well, it is AIM 6.0 BETA, but who cares. I'm very anxious to see the next beta

[L3thal Veteran]

I agree with the comment above. I'll start using it once the next beta is released, which is soon according to AOL itself.

Thank You

[yayaba]

Wow, I actually like this client a lot.

Like other people said, 99% of my friends use AIM so I can't switch over to MSN or Yahoo which blows. I currently use an AIM 5.5 with DeadAIM 4.5 setup as well and that works pretty well except for the god forsaken butt-ugly interface but this looks pretty decent so far :). Just has some bugs but with future betas, this is actually something I'm going to be paying attention to!

[Toxikk Veteran]

pretty sweet, eh. things gonna change. :)

[Bkbro429]

I thoguht this was a bit interesting - AOL *MAY* say no more to AIM Ads!! After the wonderful exploit, heres something interesting: www.beta.aol.com - on the left side the "featured test" changed from the AOL Browser to the AIM Triton test. The catch? the screen shot shows NO AD in the buddy list! If this is true for the final... AOL is really listening to what we want and hate. Hera have a look:

Yes.. that same exploit/hack has been done already in this thread. What I was trying to say was... when you download the Triton software... it shows the ads by default... and the Ad option in prefs. is hidden. If the average person never went to Neowin or another tech site, and found this hack, then they wuold be stuch with the ads. Its interesting that the new screen shot on www.beta.aol.com shows the Triton buddy list without ads - so I am hoping it will go final with no ads, or the choice to remove them (with the ad pref. shown by default) What do you guys think?
