    ICQ solution needed

    How do I remove birthday notifications on ICQ?

    I'm not seeing it in the settings... is it even there?

    Haven't seen a damn birthday notification in years. Plus you get to use it with different protocols too, like AIM, YM, MSN etc.

    If you don't do it, somebody else will - true story!

      Just uninstall it and use email

        I understand there are many alternatives to ICQ, but I still wanna use it.
        I just don't want all the b-day notifications.

          Same issue...the problem is that we have too many ICQ contacts. GREAT problem to have.

                  I'm getting those probably few times a year, and I have couple of hundred contacts.
                  Using alternative client though...

                    I disabled my ICQ sounds years ago, and have absolutely no regrets

                      Settings - Tweak My ICQ - the last option in the list is "Birthday Reminder".

                        I just delete people that have birthday notifications sent out. Helps thin the list as well,

                          That only disables the sound. I have all sounds disabled already.

                          What I'm trying to get rid of are popup reminders in the corner of my screen. Most of which are birthdays.

                            Took a quick look around google and couldn't find anything about disabling the popup.

                              Notifications > New Info Alert (uncheck it)

                              Tried that. Maybe that will work.
