icq problems - your experience? - GoFuckYourself.com

pr0view · 05-08-2002, 02:33 PM

ok, i'm really starting to get seriously pissed off... in the last few days:

-- messages that i send never make it to the recipient
-- i don't get messages that people send to me - i even lost a customer on my content site argh!
-- no messages containing a hyperlink EVER arrive at the recipient
-- constant login timeouts...

do you have such problems? i mean, i'm almost sure that it's the network but it can be the client as well...

but format c: just to be sure.

Same problems here.

It's the AOL Effect finally being felt.

Rich J. · 05-08-2002, 02:50 PM

Been working fine for me...

E-van · 05-08-2002, 02:50 PM

Yup, I moved completely to trillian after 3 days of total downtime with ICQ

http://www.trillian.cc

it's missing some functions and some really small things that I liked from ICQ, but in terms of stability and reliability, it beats the hell out of ICQ, besides it doesn't have ads

when someone sends me an hyperlink I dont get it, seems to affect mostly when there are not in my contact list

It is all your own fault mine works great.......nananana

Amp you probably aren't using the doohickey along with the whatcamacallit properly...

pr0view · 05-08-2002, 04:00 PM

well, i guess you get what you pay for

i hope they make it a paid service soon and get rid of all problems... how many of you use trillian?

Kimmykim · 05-08-2002, 04:16 PM

Mine works about the same as it has the last several years, which would probably be most of the time right, sometimes wrong.

Just like my computer, my employees and my child.

Tanker · 05-08-2002, 09:32 PM

I havnt had any problems that I have noticed

Pipecrew · 05-08-2002, 09:38 PM

If you cant get links from people not in your list, that is because you have the option not to recieve them (its a new spam filter)

I always have the problem of when i get a link icq'd to me, I click on it and it crashes icq

Gemini · 05-08-2002, 09:40 PM

Hmmm all that has every really happened to me was the double click doesn't always want to work.... from 1995 on, knock on wood!

Sugarpuss · 05-09-2002, 07:13 AM

mine is fine

Brad Mitchell · 05-09-2002, 07:47 AM

I don't have too many issues with ICQ, I use it all the time. However, the following two things sometimes happen:

1) I notice that some messages are really slow when I click the send button but that's usually only to a few of the people on my list.

2) I've had maybe like 6 people in the last year that I've sent authorizations out to that our ICQs just don't seem to talk to one another. Even with new requests and deleting the old ones. And no, it's not that I wasn't accepted on their lists!

Platinum Cherry · 05-09-2002, 08:05 AM

I don't have any problems with ICQ, although I tried the Trillain and it just confused the hell outta me....

Am I supposed to remember all my damned passwords? C'mawwwn!!
