ICQ or Trillian?
 

okay which of these things is less glitchy and a pain in the ass to use?

I'm using icq 6.0, and somehow I hit something and all my text is now aligned to the right. Its fucking driving me nuts. :1orglaugh

I think I am going to go ahead and install trillian, but if its just another piece of shit that wants to take over my computer like icq I don't want it. :helpme

trillian or icq? preferences?

trillian doesn't run as fast as icq

I use qip which seems to work good for icq

Trillian Astra just went beta. Should be available to the public very soon.

Trillian trashed my icq contacts list twice in the past, lot of problems. I'd stick with an old banner free version of icq

don`t install trillian. Because of it 300+ contacts from my ICQ list were gone. Your problem is a small one :)

On ICQ:

Press left [Ctrl] + [Shift] for left-to-right text and

press right [Ctrl] + [Shift] for right-to-left text. :)



Sidenote: If you are using a right-to-left language with ICQ, right-to-left text is default (for example Hebrew and Arabic).

I've used trilian for 5 years or so, and I'll never use anything else. Stay with the basic, though - the pro is annoying.

thank you so much!

I knew it was some stupid ctrl command I hit. :1orglaugh

and no trillian for me, thanks for the help.

I have run trillian for 2+ years and the only issue I had was putting it on Vista. I now have to run it as the administrator. But thats it. Other than that I love the way it deals with multiple chat protocols.

glad i could help

PS: I was desperate when I was in the same situation :1orglaugh so I understand the feeling.
Don`t ever use trillian if you care about your contacts! I worked few months to get my contacts back.... :disgust

I'm using Pidgin 2.4.3 and it's ok

trillian all the way.

I never had Trillian on my laptop with XP.

icq is buggy. if i text them before adding them to my list I cant add them to my list later unless i close the program and restart it.

and there is no icq for unix what do you guys use on there?

icq bugs at times , but ive been sticking with it since does the job as long as you know what to do and what not to do

but on a mac it looks especially outdated

overall , bump for ICQ

SKYPE is the best.

I've given Trillian a few honest tries over the years.
I just don't like it though.

New Trilian Astra Alpha is MUCH faster that regular Trillian...
Can't wait for it to be the released...

They both suck. I use Trillian for everything BUT ICQ.

For gods sake - USE PIDGIN! :)

I've been using Pidgin for a few months now and love it to bits. I was a hardcore Trillian user for years n years.

I'm with ya there :thumbsup

Stick with ICQ.

I have been using trillian for a while no problems so far ... give it a try !!

Link to this Pidgin?

If you have lots of contacts use icq, otherwise the others are fine to try and see what you like

ICQ has been crashing a lot lately.At least when it recovers,you could still see the mesagges. :2 cents:

Google is your friend.
