anyone noticed ICQ not relaying offline messages ?
 

happens often recently to me & drives me crazy

really? .... fuck dammit and I've been waiting for an important reply.... shit...... any idea how to retrieve them? (if possible)

My assistant seems to be having that problem with hers and it is irritating the crap out of me. That is why my ICQ is always on.

learn how to use iCQ dude

Yeah. It has been fucking up on me a lot. I wont get messages when Im online a lot lately.

yeah been having the same thing on and off for a while now, ICQ is just buggy

we should all move to gmail and gmail chat :2 cents:

email is my favorite way to talk to.. its actually my only line out now.. i turned off all messagers and any other way of talking cept here..

yep, and suddenly a bunch of messages several days old pop in.. some messages sent to me while im online are also lost in transit.. looking forward to the skype revolution in adult..

been going on for weeks over here :/

The thing that bugs me is people who ask if I'm online when it says I'm not. And that's all they ask.

Tips to using ICQ. LEAVE A FUCKING MESSAGE!! About what you want. And don't send a URL or email address unless you have been added to the recipients list.

use the official client. ICQ6 (+ download banner removal hack)

other shit clients (trillian, etc) always have problems.

:2 cents:

Fuck do I notice. I'd get rid of Trillian but I can't find a better multi-platform aggregator. I tried Pidgin, it sucked ass.

Btw do you still using skype?

Same here.
:disgust

same here!

Same problem as well :Oh crap

i get mine normally i think :)

icq is a piece of shit - the other day when i logged on i received messages from people that were sent two days earlier - people probably thought i ignored them.

never presume on ICQ that somebody is ignoring you - unless they do it a lot to you.

Noticed this as well, starting within the last couple of weeks :(

Yes we do, great for talking to people.

same here :/

nah gmail chat is very slow

same here... not sure how long it's been happening, I know yesterday I missed a couple. It seems like it's been a couple days

Ah crap, this was one of those reasons why I preferred ICQ over other IM's - its flawless delivery of offline messges. Until now, that is... AIM was always pissing me off with its 'user is offline' message.

With some of my contacts I don't get half of their messages through, its fucked up when I'm expecting their answer and some time past I get their "Did you get my message?" or "What do you think about it?" and I have no idea what they said.
Skype is awesome on the other hand except both parties need be online at the same time for anything to get through.

god damn icq needs to get this fixed

ICQ is horrible. I have no idea why folks haven't started migrating off of it more than they have. While the idea of offline messages is great, as-is it's worse than not even implementing them at all.

Also it's inability to receive "duplicate" messages from multiple locations (e.g. workstation, laptop at home, etc.) is *really* annoying as well. I don't want to have to remote desktop in just to talk on ICQ.

AIM these days is my preferred IM network. It Just Works(tm). Yes, no offline message capability, but that is what e-mail is for. If I send a message, I can be reasonable sure the recipient did indeed receive it. ICQ, not so much.

It's no longer 1998 :) Time to make a switch in my opinion.

My solution: just leave ICQ (via Trillian) on 24/7. Not a perfect solution--some items go missing when message windows close.

i try not to message people on it anyway

I've been having this problem for a while now. Either that or some people are just hiding, lol

I have 3 icqs running - one of them must work lol

I usually don't have problems with offline messages..

Damm ...

I do :2 cents:
