Awesome new AIM features!

[The Equivocate]

Here is one new feature in the latest beta:

"Now you can see and hear your buddies with Live Video IM. All you need is a webcam, microphone, and a broadband connection. Note: Live Video IM requires a PC running Windows XP, webcam, and microphone. Performance is better over a broadband connection or Local Area Network. You may not be able to connect to your buddies if you or they are behind a firewall."

And another, which I think is going to make DeadAIM obsolete:

"Do you have more than one Screen Name? Now you can sign onto AIM once, and have all of your Screen Names appear online. Send and receive IMs from any of your Screen Names. View all of your buddy lists. Make your linked Screen Names appear on or offline with a single click." - meaning cloning programs are no longer needed.

I installed it earlier today and now I cant turn the AIM Today window off, and I don't want to close it everytime.

 

[The Equivocate]

Yeah, I posted this too quick... there are a lot of flaws in the new beta...

The new features sound great, except I think I'll stick with my current version until they get the beta one out of the way! :D

Great features, now let's see them work out the bugs...

If you want to turn off that AIM Today window, you can uncheck the box under "EDIT OPTIONS"...

Once they get past beta I might download it though

On the new version that checkbox is gone

Oh, wow, I hope that's not on purpose. We'll have to wait until the full version comes out. What a major annoyance!

A lot of bugs, indeed. I couldn't IM anyone with it.

I ended up having to uninstall it, and find the prior version on their FTP site.
