Who can fix my ICQ, I pay $100
 

Anybody around here who can fix my ICQ so that it won't go offline anymore like 500 times per day (I make long days). This shit is driving me nuts. :mad: Tell me the secret settings and I epass you $100.

Stop using ICQ 5, and switch to ICQ pro.

are you behind a proxy?

well, start using gaim.sourceforge.net donate the 100 bucks to the redcross

That used to happen to me... not sure how it got fixed.

ICQ is a piece of shit! It will never work properly again.

Facts:

- I use ICQ version 2003b (I don't like the light versions)
- I'm not behind a proxy and don't have this settings on
- I have around 250-300 contacts on my list

hm it doesn't save the setting when I change it :helpme

Freeones. E-mail me: [email protected] I can help you.

you may also wanna try setting -> connection -> server -> keep connection alive

I have tried this one many times already, but it doesn't make a difference

Freeones do you have MSN messanger or Yahoo? I can fix it for you in a half hour.

email sent !

could be the # of contacts on you list.

Try trillian... here's how to import the 2003b buddy list.

1- Go into ICQ go to "My ICQ"
2- Goto "Save / Load ContactList"
3- Select "Save ContactList"
4- Select "Save as type --> Contact List Files (*.clb)
5- Save the file
6- Go into "Add Contact" (the Buddy Wizard)
7- Select AIM&ICQ as the Medium
8- Check the check_box "Import from an old contact list"
9- Select "Files of type --> ICQ 2001b Contact List Files (*.CLB)"
10- Browse where you saved the file (step 5)
11- Open the file
12- And now you have all your contacts with your ICQ Groups and every contact into its own Group

use trillian instead.

I have installed Trillian a while ago, because I got sick of ICQ. That didn't work out either. For me my "ICQ history" is important. I couldn't find a way to import this into Trillian. :error

I would recommend GAim (like I said), and then use a history reader for checking history from your old icq.

ah I see
I thought you meant to use that as ICQ server host

lol

try deleting a few contacts...

I know that this can be part of the problem, but I need them all. I have already deleted many contacts in the past. Now I can't delete any more of them.

Under ICQ Server, change the port number to 5190 or 443. See if that helps any.

simpel anwser:
just add more icq servers to your list
:)
i got around 20 in it instead of the standard 2/3
DISCOnects do still happen but more like once every 2/3 weeks :)

en aangezien het mogelijk is dat je het niet snapt ;)
gewoon onder je settings meer icq servertjes neer dumpen.
zodat je altijd backup servers hebt :)
ow en de $100 als je die perse wilt doneren
mag je naar Godsmack sturen.
met de voetnoot asje ;-)

Hit me up @ icq if you dont know how to do it
and as for the Contact lists I've also have the max added contacts so you can skip those remarks :)
(gebruik ook Icq 2003b en icq5 en heb dus eigenlijk nooit last)

(edit)
kan zijn dat je modem/firewall/router problemen veroorzaakt. als de servers toevoegen niet werkt
kan het zijn dat de porten geblockd worden

(edit2)
Wat OOK het probleem kan zijn => JOUW DNS servers.
je kan nog een paar dns servers toevoegen
of de hostnames die je zoekt hard in je /etc/hosts (*unix) zetten of in je %root%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts (wintendo) zetten.

Deze 3 oplossingen moeten je geheid de icq hemel geven.

I think it's no longer possible to add more than 1 server in ICQ version 2003b?

Hey Bill, doe effe normaal man. kep die $100 nie nodig heur :-)

Als Maurice de boel gefixed heeft naar jouw oplissing dan mag ie lekker $100 naar jouw sturen..

wel aardig van je hoor.. :-)

Hey Maurice.. ikke ben het.. zat met je in de taxi in Haarlem :-)

Do you maybe have an url for me?

Happened to me. I figured it was spyware thing.

I tried a lot of different things. Two things worked - installing your icq on another machine (I didn't port over the history though cuz I was concerned about maybe moving a spyware file).

That worked for a while. Then it started happening again. I went back to the old machine and started using ICQ 5. Eventually it started happening with ICQ 5 and I moved back to ICQ Pro. Not really sure what it was ... maybe just a bug with the software. The one thing I couldn't do was move back from the existing version of ICQ to the old (fucked up version) too soon... or it started happening again on the new version as well. (BTW I tried completely uninstalling ICQ ... but that didn't work ... because even completing uninstalling the software leaves some files laying around... and hence the reason i used to think it was a spyware thing)


ps...if it works... keep the $100 ... the pleasure of knowing that I could help stop somebody else's icq frustrations is thanks enough

I can't get trillian to connect icq today..frustrating

Dude I'm using miranda for 2 years and will never switch to icq...

When you install it your contacts automatically goes into Miranda... the only problem is that they are not in dirs (I mean you will have to sort them again, manually)

www.miranda-im.org

And the other thing - u can operate super easy with 2 or more icq numbers at one miranda :)
(and yahoo, msn, jabber and etc. so )


if it works - send me 3 $ (three) to lakroze at epass - I'm just lack of 3 bucks for this month hosting bill :)

At least I'm happy that it isn't my fault after all ;)

I think it is your internet connection. Is it a wireless connection? Have you tried to reinstall the network drivers? Are you behind a firewall? (saw someone ask this question, but didn't see an answer.) Do you use Norton Antivirus or something like that?

You shouldn't have arranged the Dubai Webmastergathering, because of that, too many people added you on icq ;-)

See you in Dubai!!! :)

what he said.....there's some great plugins for it aswell :thumbsup

Maurice probeer eens Miranda... je kan OOK je ICQ history importeren. Correction: Only 2003A history can be imported :(

you can also use Miranda.

Ok thanks, your answer came most close to the solution.
As I already replied earlier in this thread in my ICQ version you can only use 1 server at time. I have changed the standard host to another ICQ server and since then don't have problems anylonger. Just provide me your epass account and I will send you the $100.

Now my days are much better :pimp

Let me buy links on Freeones, and I will buy you a whole new fucking COMPUTER, *and* migrate your ICQ's to Trillian by HAND, if possible.

*AND* I'll pay you PER LINK for links on Freeones.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SELL CATEGORY-BASED LINKS ON FREEONES!

what version of trillian did you use? because anything int he past year or two has a GREAT history viewer on it...in fact, trillian pro has the history in faded text in the message window
