# Buddy List Docking : You are able to vertically resize the Buddy List while it is docked

# Setting away state to "Mobile" with an IM Forward capable user requires two attempts

* For some users, clicking the Sign In button on the Sign On screen has no effect. We have found this happens when your My Documents folder is either mapped to a removable or separate hard drive. To fix, re-map your My Documents folder to your main drive. Issue will be fixed it later

* [install]: Performing install / upgrade from AIM 6.0 to the latest Cheers 6.1.16.1 build results in 'The installer failed to copy some required files' error message in 'AOL Toolbar Install' screen

Note: Install is still successful

* AIM Phoneline: Unable to place second outgoing call

Workaround: Restart client

* AIM Phoneline: DTMF buttons are not functional

* After setting a different Away Message as the Default, the previous Default is still used until you Apply the change twice

* Installer: Text on the Toolbar Install screen reads incorrectly as 'AOL Suite Preview'

* After choosing to install Toolbar during AIM installation, all installer UI disappears for a few seconds while Toolbar installer is downloading

* My Buddy Info: Insert Image dialog cannot be resized (so you can only see a small portion at a time of normal-sized images)

* Inserted images in Buddy Info causes AIM Today page contents to shift downward creating lots of blank space at the top of the page

# Changing Text Highlight color in Settings window does not reflect/applied to Settings and IM window

Workaround: Set text highlight via IM window format bar

# You need to scroll down Settings page to see the Styles tab

Can someone confirm that ad-hack works? The only version of Ad-hack I can find is 5.3 ...the guy's site appears to be down so I can't get 5.4 right now. Does anyone have a mirror by chance?

His new domain is http://www.aimadhack.net/. ;)

EDIT: Yes it is working for me.

re-map my documents folder you say? just for AIM, thereby losing other program functionality.... I believe I will pass on this build for those 3 bugs.

Smiley Showers still broken for me :/

I don't think I like the new Info dialog box though. I feel like the Updates pane takes up too much space, i think i liked it better on the bottom. Or maybe there can be some kind of Hover box that can be implemented only when changes have been made that goes away after a certain period of time after checking info.

Other than that, I like this release. Keep up the good work!

Did they fix the bug or annoying feature where AIM Radio constantly plays when you open the program? Like say it's minimized, then you bring it to the forefront and it plays. Is there an option I have to turn off to make it only play when I manually turn it on? That auto crap is annoying.

:| I hope they plan on using that buddy updates box for a lot more things if they make it take up so much room like that.

It's there for the user to take advantage of. For instance, when someone views my profile, they are presented with the latest updates from my MySpace and my own personal website via RSS:

So I finally got my roommate to switch over from an old AIM 5.2 DeadAIM he was using to the new AIM 6. For some reason, whenever he tries to set an Alias for someone on his buddy list, it just doesn't work. The alias will remain in the Edit Buddy dialog box, but doesn't update on the buddy list. Is anyone else having this issue?

Also, a feature that he really liked in DeadAIM was that if he was away, and someone IMed him, it did not send his away message to the person. Is there any way to implement this feature in AIM 6, or could it possibly be added in the near future?

I finally got him to change, but he's frustrated with it already :)

Thanks

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
