I tested ICQ 5.0
 

It's just a beta yet but it really rocks. You can asign different sounds to different users, or when you receive a message you can let it scroll in and out again automatically or even phone with icq users the way skype handles it. Man I can't wait for the realease version! :)

you have the beta version so i can test it?

i love skype

What he said.

Different sounds? The only tihng sounds should be is turned off!

Beta testing is over .. it should be released soon. :winkwink:

sure! Here ya go mate:

i hate icq. use yahoo messenger instead :thumbsup

Yeah I've turned all those sounds off as well, probably only a feature for the little ones anyways :Oh crap

Will it start up if you have a big list?

i cant get it to install , says "cant connect to network server, abort retry " :(

fuck all that trinket bullshit, i dont need bells and whistels, I need something that doesnt crash and freak out, and build 1302 from 2003 is the ticket.

hmm just reinstalled it again...works fine with me. Did you make sure that your other ICQ is closed?

Anyway, ICQ 2003b Pro te best!:)

ICQ5 installs 2x as fast + remains working 2x as stable, it is better organized for faster usage and messaging is as stable and relyable as Yahoo! :)

my best move was installing trillian.

&RQ forever :)

yep, much easier and less stress

Trillian seems so much stabler.

can't wait to install it too :)

let's see what we will have new then...

Why the hell can't the contact list be sorted in ICQ Lite? Totally unusable as it is now.

icq 99b 4ever

I'm running the 2003a since years without no problems. Heard about a lot of problems with the newer versions... :1orglaugh
Same with Winamp v2.81 forever! :)

I hate trillian! after I install new version he show me in contact list only numbers, NO niknames.

It wasnt funny at all.

I recently installed Trillian and like it more than ICQ any build :thumbsup

I hope it has more keystroke sounds...my guys here love it here when i am tippity typing away.. lol

It does probably eat tons of memory. ICQ is like a OS.

Nice news!

But I think, that 2003b has everything for webmaster's need.

cool, my dogs go nuts with the knocking sounds

Unless there is a way to import my history from past versions, this one is pointless...

Trillian rules :thumbsup

thats the same arguement I have with Trillian aswell. maybe new versions fixed this?
:helpme

Sound cool but all those functions have been there since 3-4 years already.....

Your IQ wast tested and you scored 5.0 point?! ;)

about time they launch something new.. msn messenger is by far the most pop in norway.. just read that 70% of people under the age of 30 is using it..

Anybody knows if version 5 keeps history of conversations?

version 5 is pretty cool

downloading it now...

I still have 2001b, works just fine

I have to agree with you there.

hmm... m.b. install new ICQ at my secondary machine? let's me think :)

Intrested in it as well..I'm still using 2002 and it has been very stable

i couldn't install it .. well i will try later.

you can download it on the official icq site....they released it

ICQ2001b was the best, after that it went downhill...current version suck...so much bloat ware included, stupid smilies, stupid history saving features, bahhh...and don't even get me started on that Xtra shit...
