Now, there's a limit on your AIM profile of 1024 characters (1KB) and that limit is unalterable. However, there is a way to squeeze more out of those 1024 characters than the profile editor will allow you to do.

First, if you do not have a good understanding of HTML, go learn it now. It will help you with many things other than updating your AIM profile.

Find the file that stores your AIM profile. You can do a search on your machine for "info.htm". Your profile will be the info.htm file in the directory that matches your screen name.

Open the HTML file with notepad. Now you can directly edit the HTML in your profile. <FONT> tags take up a bunch of unnecessary characters, especially if you use one font/size/color throughout your profile. Remove the unnecessary tags, and make sure your have a <FONT> at the beginning, and a </FONT> at the end. Now you can add more text!

You will be allowed to save the file if it is over 1KB (notepad has no restrictions), however, when you sign on and submit the profile to the server (this is done automatically during sign on) your profile will be truncated to 1KB if it is over.
