AOL question

[jtuscano]

Perhaps someone can help me with this question. Yesterday I was in an AOL chatroom (not aim), and while looking at members buddy profiles, something strange happened. On one particular profile, in the little message box on the left side of the profile where away msgs are displayed, it said : "my screename here"...stop looking at my profile!

Is there a program that works with AOL that allows you to know who is viewing your profile???? If so, I'd surely like to have it!

[chikenkicker]

all they did was just use the profile code %s or %n cant remember which it is

[Rusty]

Oh no program %n in away messages or profiles make the screen name of the person viewing it and %t makes the time and %d makes the date...

Thanks for your response. So if these are used, does the information on whose viewing the profile go to the owner of the profile?

Also, where do you find out about these codes to use? Is there a list somewhere?

Thank you!

No.

Those are the only ones you can use, and they are displayed at the bottom of the "Create away message" and "Edit Profile" window on AIM.

believe me, before i figured out about the %n code, that really freaked me out! my friend had it in her away message and i got really mad and asked her why she always put me in her messages like that, and then she explained to me about it.

those codes can be fun sometimes. but i got sick of it really quickly.

Yeah you can just input it in your Away Message/ Profile... And the public sees their own sn... And the maker of the message see's the coding, unless they view their own message than they will see their sn.... Haha when I first saw that.. i felt special.. Than I actualyl paid attention to the Away Box and saw those codes than realized how to use them.
