Is the Fun Buddy Icons
product compatible with all versions
of AIM?
Fun Buddy Icons is compatible
with AIM for Windows (version 5.9.3690 or higher). It is not compatible with AIM Express, AOL
Communicator or AOL BuddyList (AIM launched within AOL's built-in
browser). It also does not work with enhancement software like Dead
AIM.
Using a non-compatible AIM version?
Download AIM for Windows (Your buddy list will carry
over automatically!)

Why do my
friends need to download Fun Buddy Icons in order to
see my buddy icon on AIM?
We would prefer that your
friends be able to see your buddy icon on their IM client without having
to download Fun Buddy Icons.
However, given the closed
environment of IM services and the
way in which data is interpreted between IM clients, some
limitations do exist.
Unfortunately, that means that your friends
must have the Fun Buddy Icons software in order to see your buddy
icon. To facilitate this, we
periodically include a link to the Fun Buddy Icons download page when you send
messages to people who have not yet downloaded Fun Buddy Icons.
We
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause your friends. We
strongly believe, however, that they will be pleased with the product
once they've downloaded and begun
using it. Not only will they be able to see your buddy icon, but they
will have over 300 unique buddy icons to choose from, as well!

I don't see Fun Buddy Icons
on my browser or IM window. What do I do?
If you have downloaded Fun Buddy Icons and are not seeing the Fun Buddy Icons button on your browser
or IM window, it is likely due to one of two
scenarios:
1) You did not close all your open browsers and IM windows once you downloaded
Fun Buddy Icons. Please do this now and then reopen a new window. You
should then see something like this on your browser:
2)
Prior to installing Fun Buddy Icons, you already had several buttons on your
"Standard Buttons" browser bar. If this is the case, your
Fun Buddy Icons button can be found by clicking the ">>" button
located in the upper-right corner of your browser. See below:
