Adding a buddy on aim?

Question

I just installed aim triton and I clicked on the button that said add a buddy, to add someone to my buddy list and a small window popped up with the aim icon and the words "new buddy" on the top and below that two blank spaces to type in, there is no writing to indicate where to put the aim id or anything just the two blank spaces and at the bottom a green button on the left and a blue on the right, neither with any writing, i typed the aim id i wanted to add into both spaces and clicked both buttons but every time it says "you must name this buddy" i have no idea where i'm supposed to type anything because there is no writing, is there a way to fix this and if not is there a way to add buddies some other way? please help, thanks

Answer 1

ok...there is a trick to it.

There is a green button on the bottom of the buddy list. It says IM. click it and a chat screen will apear. There is a small box at the top that you write the buddy name. after you write the name write hi in the message box. A small warning thing will come up and say "soandso is not availible at the moment" look at the buddy list and it should be there.

good luck!
