Has AIM been acting funny lately? I can only accept file transfers once in a blue moon, and I keep getting kicked off halfway through conversations and can't get back on (even AIM Express won't let me on). Is it just me/Comcast/AIM's server borked?

I'd go download ICQ or something better than AIM, but sadly my RL friends aren't smart enough to do the same...

I think their servers may have just gone offline. I just lost mine a few minutes ago.

Solatar · **Reply #2 on:** March 30, 2005, 11:19:25 pm

Yeah, mine just went down. As long as it isn't just me (meaning the person I was talking to is screwed too, so she won't get mad at me for signing off randomly.

)

I'm having problems too. I know my friend is online right now, but when I try to IM him it says that he's offline. Oh, the humanity!

Solatar · **Reply #5 on:** March 31, 2005, 10:39:22 am

If you're signed off, right click the little AIM icon in the system tray, go to Preferences. Go to the Sign On/Off category, and hit the button in the bottom right that says "connection". Hit Auto Configure.

It got me signed on at least.

I seem to be logged in and active...

I really despise ICQ and Im not just saying that to be different either

The contact list takes forever to load and its hardly intuitive and also it takes a long time to connect and I get dropped all the time so yeah... not a big fan.

karajorma · **Reply #8 on:** March 31, 2005, 11:53:21 am

So use Trillian or one of the other clients to connect. I've found ICQ to be pretty much rock solid with that.

Yeah, I've been having a lot of issues with AIM as of late, so I said screw AIM and went and downloaded GAIM. A very stable program, and a hell of a lot more flexible than Trillian. I suggest that you peoples go and give it a whirl, here is the URL: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

Solatar · **Reply #10 on:** March 31, 2005, 01:05:58 pm

Might try on GAIM for size, nothing to lose...

Anaz · **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2005, 09:42:33 pm

GAIM still has the problem of the AIM client randomly disconnecting every once and a while.

Taristin · **Reply #12 on:** March 31, 2005, 09:45:23 pm

Trillian 3.0 pro here. ^^

Carl · **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2005, 10:16:25 pm

Mine is working fine.

Corsair · **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2005, 10:42:24 pm

Everything's worked for me all night.

Solatar · **Reply #15 on:** March 31, 2005, 10:41:01 pm

I haven't had any problems after it fixed itself today.
