Thurbs · 05-15-2008, 09:57 PM

Anyone else have issues where when you talk on ICQ, its like the end user might only be getting half the msgs?

I talk to people and they act like I'm talking in tongues. Anyone else with this issue? Gonna have to move more to Yahoo / Skype at this rate.

no not yet, but we will c

Thurbs · 05-15-2008, 10:01 PM

also .. this is on an ICQ i've had for 4 years, talk to these same people without fail for years.

PerrieBelle · 05-15-2008, 10:03 PM

Sometimes if I type a big chunk of text the person I'm talking to can't see it! Really annoying!!

Spunky · 05-15-2008, 10:04 PM

I use Adium ( Mac ) - but my other 2 ICQ numbers don't have this problem.

could there be an issue with the server this number is on?

Anyone else have related issues?

I think adiums fucked lately, cause you describe exactly how I feel often while trying to chat on it.

Seems like people aren't getting messages, or links .. or if they do they're all jumbled up.
Also my windows don't seem to be flashing lately and it's pissing people off cause they think I'm ignoring them midway through conversation.

bareskin · 05-15-2008, 10:57 PM

nope just fine here

emjay · 05-16-2008, 12:30 AM

I have had similar issues. ICQ seems to have become more unstable as of late, I personally prefer skype...

kmanrox · 05-16-2008, 02:50 AM

i've been getting 1 of my icq numbers keeps reconnecting causing me to be banned for 10 minutes, keeps going.... pissing me off

GCN · 05-16-2008, 03:00 AM

mine seems ok

Firehorse · 05-16-2008, 03:11 AM

Every time ICQ gives me a problem, I re-install it and it usually fixes it!

Spyce · 05-16-2008, 06:30 AM

I've never had a problem, but we use Trillian for our ICQ and all other instant messengers. It seems everyone uses a different one.

SuzzyQ · 05-16-2008, 06:38 AM

With the latest version of ICQ, it will only let me see my friends as numbers, Is there a way to change that so I can see their names also?

Quagmire · 05-16-2008, 08:42 AM

ICQ has been a sack of rotting rhino dongs lately. I've had a lot of random missed conversations and messages since the last update they sent out for ICQ6. I've got way too many contacts to drop back to ICQ pro so I am shafted.

I used to be a huge ICQ fan until AOL bought it and fucked it all up. It would be nice if we as an industry switched over to MSN, Skype or Yahoo.

Every program has its failings but nothing seems to fail better than ICQ lately.

carol.prime · 05-16-2008, 09:10 AM

mine is working fine, no issues at the moment.

Hey Thurbs....that and then some....

Portions of my list vanish, history is incomplete....hence my migration (inclusion) of Yahoo IM.

My Vector Linux home system never has a problem: it offer ICQ, Yahoo and MSN together.

But I never use MSN because it's owned by The Devil. Aka Satan. Aka yucky.

trevomanut · 05-16-2008, 10:30 AM

Skype isn't a better alternative also.
If your internet speed is kinda low and changing it may take up to 20 minutes for the other person to receive your message.

maybe this explains why you ignored me when i hit you up the other day, maybe not

sniperwolf · 05-16-2008, 11:15 AM

i'm using the older version (5.1) and it works fine with me.

sandman! · 05-16-2008, 11:21 AM

you ever notice 90% of people with icq issues are not using real icq but some other program ?

Iron Fist · 05-16-2008, 12:20 PM

Sly · 05-16-2008, 12:49 PM

I use Miranda and I never seem to have the same problems ICQ users run into.

papill0n · 05-16-2008, 03:21 PM

the only problem i have with icq is that it wont save history properly

trevomanut · 05-17-2008, 09:29 AM

I am using QIP and don't have problems also.
Maybe you should change your ICQ client. It could solve the problem ;)

SarahLLO · 05-17-2008, 09:45 AM

I upgraded recently and half the time ICQ just freezes up whenever anyone messages me. It's annoying as fuck.

SifuE · 05-17-2008, 09:58 AM

had a few issues

blonda80 · 05-17-2008, 10:22 AM

yes sometimes window gets frozen and the newest thing who pissed me off was when 400 contacts disappeared without any reason from my list

I hate ICQ because I need it
