Issues with icq and trillian

Me too. The thing I didn't like about Trillian was that it arbitrarily changed my names to numbers. I'd go and change them all back, and the next day, they'd be numbers again. I can barely remember names (I change most of the names on ICQ ), trying to remember numbers just wasn't going to happen.........

Now if I could find a way to put more than 200 names on ICQ lite, I'd be a happy camper.

I tried Trillian for about a day, hoping that it had improved since the first time I had used it, years ago. It kept spontaneously turning off during a yahoo chat with a friend I have to really work to catch online. I killed the Trillian and went back to turning on Yahoo when I have time to chat with her; MSN when I want to chat with my husband at work; AIM when I want to catch my kids; and ICQ pretty much on all the time for work.

Frankly, I can't think of anything more horrible than having all four chat programs go off at once when I'm trying to work. I've never found a nice way of saying "Look, I really love you...but leave me the hell alone right now."

that was a huge problem on the old trillian, all you had to do was go into the control panel and check the "toggle uin/name" and they would all come up as names almost instantly

So give up the damn download link and lets all try it again.

www.trillian.cc - just grab the basic version, and if you wanna upgrade and get those few extra features you can do it all via the control panel without having to upgrade software or anything
