ICQ is the Devil. - GoFuckYourself.com

CrazyNakedChick · 06-10-2005, 05:21 PM

My apologies to anyone trying to communicate with me, please don't think me being rude. ICQ won't stay connected, and my contacts list keeps blanking out.

I've seen a few threads over the last few days about similar problems, anyone else still experiencing this?

Basic_man · 06-10-2005, 05:22 PM

Everything's working great here..

CrazyNakedChick · 06-10-2005, 05:33 PM

Gar, might be me. Satellite + a solid week of thunderstorms = unnecessary hassle. Haha. Still wondering why my contacts randomly vanish though....

Thanks for replying.

Focker, out!

ICQ sucks, sometimes

NTSS · 06-10-2005, 05:49 PM

Very funny title....lol

Violetta · 06-10-2005, 05:50 PM

works ok for me, but I prefer MSN

tungsten · 06-10-2005, 05:51 PM

ive been having icq problems before and since i switched to GAIM, its been alot better
its easy to use, easy to install and works alot better, its like trillian but alot more simple

Sly · 06-10-2005, 05:52 PM

You have more problems with ICQ than anyone I know. Try another version or even Trillian.

CrazyNakedChick · 06-10-2005, 05:56 PM

I blame the Pentaverat!

Honez · 06-10-2005, 06:00 PM

I have been having a few issues on and off.

CrazyNakedChick · 06-10-2005, 06:01 PM

Gaim, Trillian. Thank you boys, I'll check them out. Heard a few nasty comments about Trillian, but I'll still look into it. My ISP shows me love by giving me wicked packet loss, that is the bulk of my problem I do believe.

Muchas grassy-ass.

been 4 days without icq.

Been using Trillian now. It works fine with trillian but I really don't like it much. Too much bullshit in there to even chat. It will have to do till I get ICQ fixed.

I have heard this from others, that and the standard connection issues.

At this time I would like to announce I am officially moving to smoke signals. I've piled my Amish-bought slab wood 12 feet high and can now send out messages. Joy!

Disregard the "human" sacrifices, and the empty beer cases.

ICQ isn't very user friendly

I'd have to second that..or maybe I am just so used to using yahoo messenger....

CrazyNakedChick · 06-11-2005, 01:45 PM

Trillian isn't doing any better for me. Gah!

DamageX · 06-11-2005, 02:32 PM

Amber, I've had my fair share of ICQ connection problems and I eventually gave up on it altogether. However, assuming you don't want to do that, here's a fix that used to work for me.

Go to Main -> Preferences -> Connections, click the Server tab. Leave host as login.icq.com and below set the port to 443. For Proxy settings, check Using Firewall and below check Using proxy and choose HTTP. Below that check Keep connection alive. Hopefully this will solve it, did so for me many times.

hova · 06-11-2005, 02:33 PM

I hate ICQ, so I use email

FilthyRob · 06-11-2005, 02:33 PM

kernelpanic · 06-11-2005, 02:34 PM

I've had occasional issues lately

Terry · 06-11-2005, 02:39 PM

I have certain problems off an on with ICQ. I have lost my contact list a few times, even had it duplicate once. I tired using Trillian but ended up removing it. also tried Qnext and thats not bad, just way to many features. Out of them all MSN is my fav.

loverboy · 06-11-2005, 02:47 PM

weird, i have yet to experience any downtime from ICQ (5.0)
