Why Has ICQ Been So Fucked Up Recently ?
 

Why Has ICQ been so fucked up recently ? Everyone seems to be having problems with it but why? I registered a new icq and that let's me on fine but my old # with all my contacts logs me on and then immediatley off. :mad:
Icq tech help never responds. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

i hate icq, i just use trillian and there less icq issues.. http://trillian.cc if u wanna try it

I'm not sure, but I had to uninstall it in order to install the new version 5.0 and watch my firewall.

i have rarely had troubles with icq, but everyone that uses the actual icq client has troubles non-stop

using trillian is the best thing you can do for sure...trillian users rarely have problems

ok thanks guys. if this works I owe ya some beers at the next show :thumbsup

simple answer: because it sucks.
Get jabber. www.jabber.org

Open source instant messaging system. There are many cool clients for it.

Be very careful with Trillian. . . . these Trillian users don't realize that when they request authorization from an ICQ user, the odds are that we will not see the request.

and my ICQ works fine. stop upgrading

what is the point of using an IM service no one else is using?

I have had no problems with ICQ lite.

i dont understand all the icq threads i always see, ive never had a problem with icq

I haven't had any problems, ever.

I would have agreed with you up until a week ago....now mine is messed up too.

I have been having some issues with mine too just as of last weekend...

its a back end server problem not a client problem.

when my icq is fucked up even the web based does not work.

if it was a client problem then web based should work even if client is fucked up.

up untill a few weeks ago i never had an icq problem.

Fuck that didn't work. Sooo strange cuz it seems to work at night :mad:

well, I just talked to goodgirl and she was having a problem with it a few minutes ago. Shut off her firewall and it started working again

it sucks cause AOL runs it

How to Solve That Problem:

(just do what i did)

My Computer-->Control Panel--->Add/Remove Programs

Hasnt failed me since.

after I install the new version, never had any problem from that point on
