    Could someone tell me how to remove a status if it does not have a title?
    It is not on the list to pick for deletion.
    I have tried to un-install and re-install to get a fresh copy but the status still show up. If I can not delete it with the software then could you point me to the location where this is store.
    Thanks,

      The statuses are all stored in the status.xml file in your Gaim user folder:

      Windows:  c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\.gaim\
      Linux:  /home/<user>/.gaim (I believe, I don't have GAIM installed on my Linux box)

      You can edit that file with something like Notepad or vi and delete out any statuses you want.  Just be sure to delete out everything from "<status..." to "...</statuz>" for a particular message, to keep the XML clean and well-formatted.  Probably advisable to do this while GAIM is not running, too...

        NOTE:  Sorry, there was a typo in the above.

        Just be sure to delete out everything from "<status..." to "...</statuz>"

        should be

        Just be sure to delete out everything from "<status..." to "...</status>"

      unnamed states will remove themselves within a few days of their last use.
