Do you DOCK your buddy list?, AIM. Options

[DaTru KataLYST]

I need to see how many people actually dock their buddy list for AIM, so please:

DOCK or NO DOCK?

DOCKED the ENTIRE time you're on AIM?

or

DOCKED for a little while on AIM?

[WhiteLotus*]

Yup, I dock it the whole time I'm on AIM.

[*lolita kitty*]

[angel-roh]

honestly, i didnt get it either.
i just said dock to sound all cool.
honestly, whats dock?

[Shattered_Hope]

no, I find it irritating...

[ohh_so_elektrikk...]

lol dock means to keep the buddylist fixed on the screen, and it wont hide if you click on another window. i like docking it because it gets annoying when you have to keep clicking on the window to see who is signing on or off

[racoons > you]

i never did when i used to have aim. it irritated me

[someflipguy]

Im not a docker!

[*lolita kitty*]

oooooh.
nope, i dont dock.
if someone signs on. it just comes up on the bottom of the screen.
and i only chat with a few people anyways.

[Chaos13]

its all the way to the left of the screen NOT docked or anything. I use DeadAIM!!

hurraaah!!

[KissMe2408]

yah i usually dock the aim screen on the right side of the screen. lol yay

[crazeegirl411]

In the newer versions...you don't have to look at the buddylist to see who signed on and off. But I never dock it. AIM is not important enough =P.

[jennyjenny]

I don't.
Ever.

I find it annoying...

[Just_Dream]

honestly, i didnt get it either.
i just said dock to sound all cool.
honestly, whats dock?

... So you just SAID that you knew it to sound cool? ...



Anyways, nope. I used to dock mines back when I was younger. That was when I actually responded to everyone really quickly. Now I sort of.. lag at responding, only because AIM isn't that important to me either lol. Plus, I turned off that notification thing too. IMO, it's annoying. lol

[Angel_Cece]

what is that? >< am i missing sumthing?

[eli5e]

yes... when i am away or busy.. .but if im really chatting.. i leeave it out.

[shortiiex]

wtf...no one is answering the question :What the hell is Dock?

[Chii]

why would you dock your buddylist? it sounds so annoying, you can tell when people sign on or off because of those window things that pop up...now those are annoying...

[ANG33ZY]

nah i X it.

[sunissed14127]

I just minimize it lol. I don't get the whole docking thing, so thats my answe hahaha.

[innovation]

indeed, i dock.

--edit: blah, this was my 1000th post! what a waste.

[inthemudhole]

No, I don't.
Sometimes I make it transparent and kind of dock it, I guess you could say.

[Skyline Drive]

Yes indeed

[*suddenly she*]

oh, so that's why? i was wondering why my buddy list stayed on the screen the whole time. i feel stupid.

[DanielleMaria05]

O.. Well, crap. I meant to click No. Never. I normally let it load, it opens, I x out of it, and its not on my bar at the bottom..

[*salcha*]

nah, it annoyed me when i wanted to see the other stuff behind it.

[Angel_Cece]

question: how do you dock it??????

[RandomHero]

That would be a no.

[aznxdreamer]

this is such a random thread.

[sm0kinm0nky]

uh i just keep it up to see whos on or to talk to someone.

[HelloSunshine]

oooooh.
nope, i dont dock.
if someone signs on. it just comes up on the bottom of the screen.
and i only chat with a few people anyways.

agreed. yup.

[silver-rain]

Oh, I don't dock it, but I keep my buddy list open. I have the notification thing set up anyways.

[5ayuri]

nope i dont dock...i didnt even know you could do that.LOL

[miszSERENiTY]

Yuup. It`s docked right now =]

[dahalfkoreanstyl]

i docked it after reading this topic but it started to bother me after 10 min, after 15 min i couldnt take it any more, i was going insane......so i undocked it

[*instantmusic*]

it rocks to dock.

and holy crap look at all the sigs. i just went to board settings and allowed sigs to be seen again. daaaaam.

[KELLYYY]

No. I find it annoying.

[*x____duckii*]

I don't dock at all.

[nevernothere]

I don't usually dock 'cuz I end up minimizing for some full screen game or other.

[mickybeans]

oooooh.
nope, i dont dock.
if someone signs on. it just comes up on the bottom of the screen.
and i only chat with a few people anyways.

lol, same here ^^ thats why i love the new version of aim, it's more conveinent <3

[tainted_faerie]

nope i don't dock. o_O

Hehe but im retarded...the only thing i can think of saying is "No But i'll dock you!" ha-ha-ha.okay funnier before i typed it out...

...

[SMUSHiENESS]

docking is annoying.
i just use the pop-up notifications on the side.

[Rachel]

... So you just SAID that you knew it to sound cool? ...

exactly....i don't have any sounds for when people sign on or off either because i found it distracting. if someone is important enough to me, then usually they will IM me or just have to wait until i look at my buddy list

[smrkangl]

nope. i use the notification alert, but it gets annoying, specially some ppl love to sign off and in.

[zbrittanyz]

I used to, but I don't anymore.

[WrathOfOnigo]

I dock.
But it is really irritating.

[william]

no, i like using the full resolution when i'm browsing the web or designing. i have it in the same position it would be when it's docked though (it's just not actually docked..).

[X-Zeifer]

I don't docky dock dock.

[xTINAA]

lol dock means to keep the buddylist fixed on the screen, and it wont hide if you click on another window. i like docking it because it gets annoying when you have to keep clicking on the window to see who is signing on or off

That's why they have those popup things for AIM now to tell you who's signing off, signing on, going away, comes back from away, is idle, returns from being idle, etc. Mine is docked but I don't know why. I never put it to that "setting" or whatever it is. How do make it so it doesn't dock anymore?

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

i'm on all the time, but thats just cause i dont like closing my computer

[ItzOnlySydney]

docky dock dock it!

[Just_Dream]

why would you dock your buddylist?  it sounds so annoying, you can tell when people sign on or off because of those window things that pop up...now those are annoying...

^ You can just click Preferences > Notifications and unselect "show pop-up notifications."

Hell yea they're annoying. OMG I have those friends that sign on and off constantly.. More like they click the "eye" many times. Eugh and it covers my entire buddylist screen. I was okay with it at first, but when my friend who had deadaim signed on 3 sns and did that to me.. EUGH. haha so I removed it.

[imenlightened]

i dock it.

[Ballpointpencil]

I never dock it. It gets on my nerves.

[tinababy143]

ick no! i cant STAND it

[*mzkandi*]

nope

[Levy2k6]

no, i hate docked anything..

[Mireh]

ack. no.

popup notifications

[loljuliana]

Nah I dont dock my buddy list. I dont even know how to o_O

[dani41790]

yea i dock my buddy list the whole time

[sharerol]

No, I don't dock. It kind of annoys me.

[whomps]

No.. most of the time people when I'm viewing people's layouts, it screw the layout up because they can't position it correctly.
And I don't like my window cut off. I like it full screen.

Ewww docking.

[twelveislands]

No docking for me. I didn't even know you could do that. I don't use it that much anyway. I prefer msn. Much better With all the plugins you can add to it

[*Azarel*]

Always docked. Yay.

[AngelTears]

In the newer versions...you don't have to look at the buddylist to see who signed on and off. 

Yeah I have the newer version and a little box comes up and says when someones away, returned from away, signed off and on.. yeah its cool.. it doesnt make an annoying door opening and closing noise either

So no.

[tiffythepoopoo]

how do you dock a buddylist? and what does the "visible" eye mean?!
dude.. i've had aim for 5 years and i don't even know about this whole docking dealio.

[tooeffingcrazy]

i just said dock to sound all cool.

That's so sad...

No, I don't dock it. I minimize it so it disappears.

[iheartsimba]

At first I didn't know what it meant...but I read though =]

ANyway I don't dock..I minimize also

[sweetxsimplicity]

No, I don't dock it.

[kokosofly]

never dock

[kokosofly]

[font=Arial]how do you dock a buddylist? and what does the "visible" eye mean?!

when you close the eye it shows you`ve signed off on other people`s lists

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I indeed DO NOT dock.

[D1SMANTLED]

no no no no no I dont. I find it extremely annoying. If a person IMs me, I'll just see something blinking at the bottom of the screen, instead of it being at the side of the page while I'm surfing the internet or something.

[miss barnes]

yea i dock it. i didnt even know what it was. i just clicked the box about docking to the left or right

[KELLYYY]

Nope, I put the notifications on, though.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

Didn't even know about that..lol

[Im So Vain]

[weirdness]

i don't. once i did by accident and i didn't know how to undock it and i got so annoyed. arg.
it's just... there on the right side of my screen, but not docked. :p

[eli5e]

YES i dooooooo :]

[rx_azngirl]

[vampireduster]

[TheSpoon]

[laughn_l0ser]

Yes I do unless i need to make the window wider/

[IamRad]

yEa i do, i dont want my parents reading my messages and such

[kyuubi319]

I hate docking my buddy list. It's just irritating..

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

nope.. ive never even heard of it til now

[tmauze]

[*XLilAznGrl592X*]

i dont know what docking is therefore i have no answer

[EXPLO5ION]

yeah I do, on the right.

[(^_^)]

Docking my buddylist and the pop up notifications annoy me so I don't do both.

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

whoa! how do you dock!?

[heyyfrankie]

i don't dock. i just shrink and hide my buddylist. x]

[lovescream]

^ditto.
ah, i find it so annoying sometimes because when I'm looking at a page, sometimes my buddy list is in the way. so.. that's why I dont dock it.
=x

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

Nahhh, I like minimizing things. Minimizing things are good for you

[jackizzle]

how the flip do you dock your buddy list? hmm maybe i'm missing something lol

[DreamChaser]

it is docked almost the entire time that i am on.

[to-devastate]

Nopee. I don't. I just find it annoying.

[sheepy]

no dockie~

[fallen_angel1137]

Don't dock at all...i think i would find that more annoying than anything.
