actually, VvWolverinevV, the "bl.adMagic" string is there in strings.xml of AIM 6.8.x. It's just that "bl.adMagic" has been moved to near the top section of the strings.xml file which makes it easier to find. Some users might not see it right away and some others will find it there if you look carefully.

I'm currently using AIM 6.8.10.1 on my XP & Vista machines and I've looked at its string.xml file and found the "bl.adMagic" section near the top instead of in the middle.

yea, im the adhack author..
my, this is a blunt response from the creator of aim ad hack.

awards don't mean a thing to me and some other people here. your program may be very good but it is serious overkill to some aim users who really want a simple solution into removing the ads from the AIM program without some unnecessary stuff involved. nothing more, nothing less.

Kudos to Jon8RFC for making AIM 5.x patches and the solutions to remove the ads in the AIM 6.x versions.

Great tip!!!! Do you happen to know how to remove the addons box at the bottom of the buddylist? I've been trying to search for a way to do that for weeks!

Can a mod sticky this thread? I'm not sure why I never stickied it in the past.
Thanks for all the mods! They work great.

The mod to remove the buddy profile ad looks good, but I found two problems. This may be the OCD part of me speaking. First, if the buddy is not away, but has a "status message," this message will not show in their buddy profile. Second, the orange "buddy update" icon next to the screen name in the buddy list will not disappear even if you look at their profile.

Any ideas on how to fix these two things? Thanks again for the other mods though! I appreciate it.
