Turn off warning about history clearing option

Post by EvilJolly »

This isn't as much of a feature as a revision, I think that you should have a check box for "Turn off warning about daily history clearing" or something to that effect. It's not really a big deal to click the OK button, but I thought I'd pitch in my 2 cents. Great program, and I really like that idea about setting your idle you guys are talking about in another thread.

We were strongly considering adding this option to AIM+ 2.0, but in the end we decided against it. The reasoning for this decision was that in cases of multiple users sharing a computer and AIM+, if user #1 turned off the clearing history alert, and user #2 had never seen a clearing history alert, then his conversation would disappear without any kind of warning or reason why.

Why isn't the checked option associated with that particular screen name?

Because the AIM+ preferences are global, not per user.
