If you have Aim 6.5, and your Buddy Updates Box does not appear, please read here
Aim 6 has a new feature called Buddy Updates. They are displayed below your buddy info profile and enable you to insert RSS feeds to display links in your profile. The product seems to be a bit buggy on the server end, sometimes its up and sometime I get, “400 Bad Request” error messages. Aside from these quirks the only major problems client wise is that the Myspace feed didn’t show up in the Updates. I had to add it manually just to get it to work right. So, if your a startup or just trying to steer traffic to your site, these little feeds come in handy.
I have the new 6.0 AIM. Since I upgraded, I can not see “buddy comments” that I stored in previous versions.
Am I missing something or did they remove this much used function?
It was removed so you have to use Aim 5.9
Or you can use Aim 6.0’s nickname feature instead.
Thank you. So my guess is even if I revert back to 5.9, all my “comments” will be lost won’t they?
As long as you didn’t delete Aim 5.9 your comments should be stored. Aim 5.9 is still installed, Aim 6.0 did not overwrite it.
Thank you, I was promted to upgrade one day when I signed on, so I didn’t delete anything and I just assumed 6.0 over wrote it.
It worked, thank you
how do you remove items so people who view your profile can’t see your updates??
how do i put a link in my buddy info? (like CLICK HERE that goes straight to the site, not http://www….)
Type CLICK HERE, highlight the text, click the LINK button and type your link
Is there a way to remove the updates so you don’t have to see them if you don’t want to?
No but you can turn off sending out updates
How do u disable Buddy Updates?

I hate that ‘Buddy Update’ feature. The grey box on my profile is an eyesore. I want it GONE! It was not there a few weeks ago. Now it is. I have gone to settings and the box is unchecked that either allows you to see it or not. But it still is there. Gezzz I can’t even change something in my account without it announcing that I just updated my profile 1 sec ago. Who cares? To me that is an invasion of privacy. I don’t like the fact that someone knows every move I make on my profile, and every single sec that I do it. I feel exposed! Get rid of the feature! Or at least fix it so that it works when you check the option not to show the Buddy Updates. Big ‘whoopty do’ if I correct a misspelled word. It spreads all over the internet…ATTENTION JANICE HAS UPDATED HER PROFILE 1 SEC. AGO. GO SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS.
How ridiculous. Really I hate the thing…it reminds me of the Media…in everyones business…how annoying. Please do something about it…….
i agree i hate buddy updates can anyone email me and tell me how to delte the info in it or better yet eliminate it completely PLEASE
