A new version of the AIM 6.1 beta software is available for download. The version number of the software, which can be determined by selecting Help, then About AIM, is 6.1.31.1. There are several bug fixes in this build, including a bug where the Buddy List scrolls up when a screen name towards the bottom of the list is hovered over. For a more comprehensive list of known and fixed issues, please visit the Known Issues and Fixed Issues sections respectively.

The build also includes improvements and bug fixes to the Live Video feature. You are now able to display your video session in full screen mode. To do so, start the video session, select Actions, then select Display Video Full Screen. You can also toggle your camera view in the video screen. To do this, select Actions, then select Show My Camera View. Please help us verify the improvements to the Live Video feature by participating in the Live Video Focus Test in the beta area.

We are fast approaching AIM 6.1's GM date. Therefore, we encourage you to use the software actively and verify that issues that you have reported have been fixed. Please use the Bug Report and Feedback forms or the Message Boards to send us your feedback. As always, we will endeavor to respond quickly to your feedback.

Finally, we would like to thank you for your fantastic testing efforts since the onset of this test in February. Your feedback has helped us troubleshoot and resolve several issues. Please stay tuned to Beta Central for updates from the AOL Beta team regarding the time that the next series of the tests for this product will commence.

How do you stop from getting booted out of a room by the so called mod who created the room on aol chat ? pisses me off

I wish I could tell you something about the chatroom thing, but AOL refuses to do anything about it because technically, those chatrooms were invented for 5+ buddies to chat together, not people who want to meet girls.
