Anyone else HATE ICQ? This thing sucks...
 

I have downloaded every patch/update/fix for ICQ 5 that I can find and it STILL will not let me add new users to my contact list. I get the same error everytime...

"ICQ servers failed. Please retry."

I retry and get the same error.... grrr

Anyone else having problems?

nope, I hate MSN.

having problems with icq for quit some time now. Specially round these hours.

sometimes i get the same problem but a couple of hours later it's fixed.

Damn, maybe it's just me :(

i get that everytime i try to add a new user

i have to delete someone from my list before it will allow me to add someone new

fucking pain in the ass

:helpme

ICQ sucks turtle testicles

yeah.. don't worry i'm having the same problem..

ICQ keeps on disconnecting then reconnects. it sucks esp. when you're in a middle of a conversation.

had the baddest ICQ day yesterday. im hearing the ICQ Alerts but couldn't see the message and that's crap :disgust

ICQ stops working for me usually from like 3 pm so i just switch to Trillian and works like magic

There is a 600 contact limit on ICQ. You'll need to delete some people to make room for some new people.

I think this one doesn't have the contact limit. At least my friend told me so, he uses it. I can't test it cos I'm on a Mac.

works 100% fine for me, all day every day.. shrug

ID-10T errors *shrug*

I can recommend that too

i hated it since the days of beta. always lost my contact list.. just installed it recently to contact those who still use it.

Not sure if its not more an ISP thing than an ICQ thing.

We have used Trillian since it first came out and it kills the standard ICQ dead.

I dont use ICQ. MSN all the way! :thumbsup

Never had problems. Could be your firewall?

knock on wood, mine is working fine

Using Trillian (Pro). Love it. Plus you get all major IMs at the same time. Lots of extras.

Are you getting error 133 or 134 ? That means you have too many people on your list. Icq is very unstable these days and won't let me login until later in the day. I do agree it sucks :mad:

Like others said, when that happens you hit the max, you gotta delete like 2 people to add a new person, sucks.

i do use Trillian Pro, but there are downsides to that big time

hahaha you sig is jokes! :1orglaugh

I don't have problems with ICQ using Trillian

I have to delete someone before I can add someone, which is fine - it helps me to constantly purge my list.

However, ICQ refused to connect for me this afternoon so I've been using Triallian.

i dislike icq but i use it cause everyone on here uses it. more of an aim guy myself.

It's ok..I use it once in awhile

icq is poo most times

any messenger that does not allow you to send offline users messages SUCKS DONKEYDICK...and msn is the worst...it's like the barbie doll of messengers:pretty but stupid as hell

get GAIM, i dumped ICQ's program awhile ago, was too buggy

with a fucking passion i have to delete someone each time i add someone!! aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggg

yahoo messenger is better

why the hell do people have such problems with icq?

just stop downloading the new versions, they are all bulky and filled with ads. i use older versions of icq STRICTLY and i have never had a single problems.

http://www.oldversion.com/
(im not sure if the page is down right now or if it is my fucking internet that has been cutting in and out the past 4 fucking days :mad: )

go there and try a few of the older versions and see what works best, you WILL notice the difference, i am against any updates for programs like icq/msn and i never have problems.

Azlord, your Hulk Hogan sig gives me nightmares. :(

ahahah... sorry about that. Ol' School Hulkamanic here.
