EXUSE the UN-NEATNESS of this post :huh: :

Changelog:

# Buddy List Docking : The Docked Buddy List crashes while dragging to resize it when the OS fonts are set to large

# Buddy List Docking : The Vista Sidebar does not dock correctly if the Buddy List is already docked

# Buddy List Docking : Can only dock the Buddy List to the extreme left or right of a dual monitor setup

# 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: Unable to receive second incoming call [AIM Digits Free Service] 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

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
