The Running Man is back!


So we know it's been awhile but we are proud to announce the upgraded version of AIM Express. Highlights of this version include:

Running Man branding: We have re-introduced the Running Man, so now your friendly yellow guy is back and here to stay!

Multi-party Chat (beta):
All I have to say is...FINALLY! We know you have been missing the ability to invite multiple buddies to a chat room so we added this into the new version.
  • Simply go to the Menu>Create Group Chat>Add your Buddies to chat group>Name it or add a Description>click Create Chat!
  • If you are the Chat group host you can edit your settings (name, description, members) at any time! Just go to your options menu in your group conversation and select Edit Chat preferences...

  • We also added the ability to see a roster or list of members in your chat group. You can hide this by going to the drop-down options menu on the group conversation.
We want to keep improving on the functionality of the chat feature so tell us what you would like to see!

Chat bubbles in conversation: We changed the message history layout to include chat bubbles which are a cleaner look. Let us know what you think!

I don't like the chat bubbles. If you are going to keep them, please at least give us the option of turning them off.

Congratulations on the latest upgrades, although put me down as a vote against the bubbles.

Hope you're hanging in there during some really shaky times.

Hey guys, great update! Love the new look. Eagerly awaiting video chat capability, though. You guys got that in the works?

Please give us an option for turning the bubbles off. Very nice upgrade otherwise =]
