LittleMack · 09-10-2004, 08:56 AM

Same here, might be just a connection problem, going to give it a day to see what happens.

Tanker · 09-10-2004, 08:56 AM

me too

from thier site

ICQ has reached its maximum database threshold, untill we purge all of the unused ICQ numbers ICQ will be down. We expect this tech issue to be resolved by monday September 13.

just kidding I am not sure whats up but it does suck MSN all day today for me

LittleMack · 09-10-2004, 09:00 AM

I just uninstalled and reinstalled ICQ and my contacts are back, that sounds like the solution.

Preacher · 09-10-2004, 09:01 AM

there are tons of threads about this already

boneprone · 09-10-2004, 09:01 AM

mother fuckers

Hey fuck doll. Who cares..

When this happens to boneprone thats when this becomes a serious problem.

Now it is OFFICIALLY a problem.

boneprone · 09-10-2004, 09:09 AM

ok you're right.

Seems there are a lot of people having this problem.

Thats good.

So its a network problem or something that is hopefully being fixed

Replaced icq lite with trilian pro, using same icq number and everything is back working. All icq contacts restored through trillian ..

Here is the link I used and the version:

I just checked the icq board out of curiousity and it looks like a lot of people have same problem

NinjaSteve · 09-10-2004, 09:23 AM

I guess that's what we get for using something that's free and resides on their servers.
el suck

iamkathi · 09-10-2004, 09:31 AM

I finally got mine to work without the reinstall.

I shut down ICQ by clicking 'Main'...and then shut down, then tried to open it again. I have mine set up to use a password to open it. I then, instead of typing my password, I clicked 'Settings', I clicked auto configure... and a console popped saying ICQ found a server... then I just clicked ok. Then I typed my password and voila it works.

This is not to say I found a cure... but it worked for me.

Give this a try.

Hope it goes back up for you Boneprone!!

jhauser · 09-10-2004, 10:16 AM

Yesterday my icq was acting like a fool. It really pissed me off some 0406 error and then I tried to log in too many times. What's really sick is that I can log in as someone else just fine but my icq number wont log in.

Thrawn$ · 09-10-2004, 10:18 AM

your contact list is saved on the folder ICQ/contact list

warlock5 · 09-10-2004, 10:19 AM

I lost my contact list twice back in 1996 or 1997. Then I got rid of Windows 3.1.

foolio · 09-10-2004, 10:22 AM

I fucked it

Buzz · 09-10-2004, 10:24 AM

I had major trouble w/ ICQ a couple of weeks ago - wasn't able to login. Had to reinstall it, but it's all ok w/ my contact list... but my history gone as well

jwerd · 09-10-2004, 10:27 AM

It doesn't matter what client you use to connect to the ICQ server, it is still going to have problems. The contact list is stored on the server itself now, so we will just have to wait until they can resolve the issue. Soon hopefully. Unless of course, someone has others servers that we can connect to, now that might solve the prolem too!
