Trillian pissing you off? Use Digsby - GoFuckYourself.com

nation-x · 06-10-2009, 06:01 AM

I kept having a bunch of issues with Trillian locking up... losing conversations... etc, etc. I decided to try and update it to the latest version (Astra Beta) and none of my ICQ contacts had nicknames... grr. Just numbers.

I was looking through the Trillian support forum and saw mention of Digsby. I decided to try it and so far I really like it. It's free (when you install it it will ask you to install all kinds of crap but you can decline it all). It is already an improvement over Trillian because Trillian would never show all of the groups I created and whenever I closed a message window it would lock up my IM for 45-60 seconds (after my pro subscription ran out).

Aww... it has a widget you can put on your site and people can message you... who needs to spend lots of money on Live Support software now?

Any chance it imports your contacts if you have renamed them. I'd love to stop using Trillan, its been screwing me for a long time, but all my contacts are renamed and having to figure that all out whould take days.

Ya I've had it installed for awhile, but it still lacks stuff that I was used to in trillian. Btw I know its a pain in the ass, but for most contacts on trillian if you right click their icq number and goto view info it will auto import their nick. I just did the upgrade to astra yesterday so far so good, some things I don't like though, but giving it a shot. I had the same deal with trillian pro with the 30 to 45 sec lock ups when shutting a window too, and could never find a solution to it.

I have been having issues with trillian as well. Most of my contacts reverted to numbers.

Like what?

i install all shit

the thing I don't like about Digsby is the need to have account on their site in order to use the client. That's a bit suspicious as they have the ability to monitor all your conversations.

That's why I stick with pidgin and Adium.

Trillian Astra is running great here.

I use both but digsby is a back up, but I have it running as I have a site where I used the embed client on it for support stuff, but run just that on there. Astra so far I am happy with.

pornguy · 06-10-2009, 02:02 PM

Thanks Mate. I will give astra a try and the regular one is messing up for me.. Any issues with imports of the list etc?

UniqueD · 06-10-2009, 02:08 PM

pidgin ftw

It looks great, but is a complete rip off of Adium.
