Question about the new Web AIM?

1) yeah Yahoo Answers chops! but all that is available for us is the URLS. by breaking the lines you can allow the code to pass through answers!\n\n2) I read that whole javascript deal... it was overkill for what I needed. the presence api is simpler (no javascript)\n\nsee \nhttp://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/articles.php?boardId=557053&func=3&channel=AIM%20Message%20Boards\n\nfor discussion of the presence api.\n\nPS\nthey have a discussion forum for each aim area!\n\nUPDATE: \n\nif you want to re-create the enitre aim experience... that's a lot of code! visit the discussion forums above!

Without any further information, I'm not sure how you would know that you're going to the "wrong" link.  If you "hover" the cursor over the link, you should see the URL that you will be directed to at the bottom of the screen in the status area.  Is that not where you're going?  Or is that not where you *think* you should be going?  Perhaps that destination is, in turn, redirecting you to another URL.\n\nUnless you give us more information, any answer would just be speculation.

AIM does have a java based IM client.  You can to it in the link below or go to aim.com and click on aimexpress on the right side.  This will allow you to run AIM from a window instead of downloading the full app.  Only prob though...  You need java installed to run it.  No java, no aim express.

Let me see if I have this straight. Someone sent you a web link in a Yahoo instant message and the web page will not open? What does AOL have to do with this? Are you sure the link is a good one? Please clarify your problem.\n\n1/18/06 Thanks for updating your question. I assume you have a 'default' browser setting. In other words, your system knows to open a particular browser when you click on a link (i.e. a link in a message). Even though you use AOL as an internet provider you do NOT have to use their browser. I assume you are aware of that as well. I suggest you download Mozilla Firefox as a browser. Not sure this will cure this problem but it is a very fast, user friendly browser. Email me at kenburnham2001@yahoo.com if you are still having problems.

mine (dropdown menu) opened up into a new window allowing me to choose from a variety of options.  i don't know if it depends on the version of firefox you're running... but i find myself spending more and more time using mozilla and less with microflop every day.  since the toolbar is so versatile, i'm sure there's a way to change the search engine settings as well.  firefox's hallmark seems to be 'versatility'.\n\nps::: i'm not hiding anything either!

What's the address of the homepage?\n===================================\nADDED:\nNow I think about it I remember seeing the new Yahoo page as well.  Maybe it was just up for a while so as to get feedback or something.\n\nAs the the other reply says - have to wait for it to be rolled out.

aim just sucks, has too many spammers, not really many features, my space messenger really doesn't have too much either but it's new and in time it will probably get better. AIM has gotten better with that new Extreme Messenger but they want you to pay for it and it still doesn't compare to yahoo none of them do. Extremme messenger is the same as if you are an aol member.

Web 2.0, AJAX....maybe those aren't real new but who knows. I can see the browser looking more and more like a regular program interface more and more.

I can't be certain, but I believe it falls under the start button at your control panel. There is a section there that allows you to make your icons act like internet links, one click and two click. I'll look and see if I can find it for you.

I can't recreate what you're saying. I'm on a mac with firefox browse and the new (beta) home page. Seems to work okay.

you must download the AOL instant messanger. got to AIM.com and download it there. Just follow the instructions on the site and you will be set!

best is to ask, but if you are a computer genious, you might find a better way to know it, allthough many people don't put their real info when signing up for an AIM account...

What exactly do you mean, do you want it as your "home" page when you start your browser, if so .. Go to yahoo..\n\nThen in IE go to Tools, Internet Options, and the first box should show http://www.yahoo.com, and select use current.

Nope, I have heard that it is massively popular in the States, but up here in Canada most people use MSN and Yahoo. No one I know uses AIM at all.

I'm actually curious about that myself.  I have quite a few icons left over from older versions of AIM and since installing Triton am unable to find out how to use them.\n\nIf you can't, I suppose we can always chalk it up to it being a matter of time before they made that proprietary.\n\nAnd then we move on to....\n\nTrillian...
