For a long time I’ve been asked how exactly do you remove graphical smileys and emoticons in AIM6. In Aim 5.9 the option was there but in Aim 6.0 it was removed.

A recent update to Aim 6.9 has reinstated this feature.

    I know it’s an old entry, but anyway….

    does this only deactivate smileys for yourself or will buddies receive them as text-only as well?
