A few things from me refer the ATM
1. I often update ATM, wonder that it is something new to download.
But, I can see that my ATM version is still with old feature not as like above
with blue water drop icon ? my is still orange talk face icon ?
what is the latest version of ATM ?
2. Been 3 years with ATM, I suggest about 'Filtering' for every incoming chats.
To avoid unexpected chatters, it must be a pre-face message from ATM auto
filter that showing a complete details of the visitor/caller. not only id name or screen
name. So far what we got whenever a message caming in, either off line or online,
we only have the member's id, we need to check his coy profile and contact person
first via its name card, showroom, web or click the id's link etc. to identify who is
calling/sent a message ? in case it is off line ones is ok, we have time for it. But if
it is online one, it is no good to let it/them waiting our response after verifying.
3. Also, we want ATM give us more info about any member whom is contact us with
the list of contact that he/she ever made/have. by doing so we can have a reference
about his/her environt/community, it is about to whom/which members that this new
contact had ever made and going on, This Interactive chatting list would be effective
to verify how this contact's community/environ. who know one among the contacts
are also our contact too, so we feel more confident to accept it to add.
There are a few things to suggest, but this time we try out these first to see response.

we are so glad to receive these advice .In fact,same features you suggested is in the latest version ATM.There is the answer about your questions.

1.About the lastest version.Now the latest vesion is ATM 2008 version.According to your description,The version of ATM you using is ATM 2.0.Because of the big changes in technical architecture between ATYM2.0 and ATM2008,we can't provide live update .But it can be used between ATM2008 and above.In addition,there are many features can not be used between ATM2.0 and atm2008,like send files,so we suggest update to the latest version.You could  download it at http://trademanager.alibaba.com.

2.In the pannel ,you could edit settings in preferences.The path is :preferences----- alert/language----new contacts,choose "add me after conformation".When someone want to add you to his/her contacts,he/she must  get your permission.When you see the contact application,you can click his/her portrait to see the contact Information;and if you want to see the details,you can click the "view"link.

3 We will consider this need in the next product planning.Thank you for the suggestion! If you have any questions or suggestions about ATM, please contact us at any time !

You need to support linux. It is not that hard, hire a linux programmer and he can port your trade messenger in a day. but you guys are really inexperienced with programming since you love windows so much.
