This is probably to protect your privacy. If your password showed up on the screen as you typed it, instead of dots or stars, someone looking over your shoulder would see what it was.

On AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) you can type %n and it will fill in the person's screen name who is viewing it.  For example in an AIM profile you can put Hey %n! and when someone views it, it will fill in their screen name.

I agree. Keystroke errors and minor misspellings are common place in this the 21st century. How do they feel about text messages with there obvious abbreviations and misspelled words?

Yes that means that t hey have just signed into Yahoo messenger and that box means that they have sent you a message and are trying to chat online with you. Bring it up to full screen next time you see that orange box flashing and say hello!!

you talk to the person you want to warn. at the bottom of the IM screen ther eis a button that says WARN. you click that and a window pops up that says warn annonymously? pick yes or no and then it works.\n\na reason its nto working may be that the computer didnt find anyhting wrong that the other person said. you cant warn the other person for no reason at all

I can't believe how many people use P.S.S.!!  \n\nPost Script Script makes absolutely no sense, people.\n\nIt is Post Post Script.  "Post" in this context means after.  So the text after the Post Script is the Post Post Script.\n\nP.P.S. all the way.  Everybody who thinks otherwise is just plain ignorant.

that happened to me before. u shud do a spyware scan, and if that doesnt help, then u must have accidently put a setting to where the "send" button to the right of the screen is the only way to enter the text into AIM. if it still does all of thise, then u shud try uninstalling aim, and install it again.  there is a spyware that is able to be gotten through Instant Messaging Services, and its called SPIM, and u can get SPIM protection, but it only works for msn, yahoo, and icq. im not sure, but it may work for AIM triton, cus the one i got doesnt work for aim 5.9, cus i have windows ME, cus my XP fried, and im gettin one customized next month.

It means they can receive im's on their phone.  More than likely you can't communicate with this person when it appears because they are not on the web on their phone at the time.

I usually reinstall my aim. Sometimes It's aim and it goes away after a few days cuz usually it takes a while. It's always aol it's not ur computer though I noticed that.\nRe-start if it doesn't work try your aim on another computer location re-install. if re-install doesn't work it's aol.

Your AIM might have a problem in it.  This once happened to mine and I just redownloaded it.  After installing it, make sure to restart your computer.  Also, if you have very low RAM or memory in your hard drive, that may also be the problem.\n\nAlso about the mail, ignore it, if you have an AIM account, then you might recive that, double click on it and see where it takes you.
