ICQ 7.2. Anyone using it? - GoFuckYourself.com

Honez · 06-16-2010, 07:55 PM

I have to say, looks like they have put some work into it. Of course time will tell. Anyone else using it? What are your thoughts?

nickutis · 06-16-2010, 08:04 PM

back to 6.5 from 7 version in 5 minutes

the biggest annoying thing was it can't be "unpinned" from taskbar, which is really annoying. Not sure if they fixed that in 7.2 though

What do you mean?

I installed 7.2 last week because I was having problems with my old version, seems fine to me. I like it better than whatever I had before.

ErectMedia · 06-16-2010, 08:06 PM

using 7.1, does 7.2 eliminate my new russian friends

if so I'll upgrade

when you minimize icq to systray, does it still stays on your taskbar?

Cyber Fucker · 06-16-2010, 08:29 PM

From all icq versions I like ICQ Pro 2003b the most. But Miranda rulez anyway.

CuddleKitty · 06-16-2010, 08:30 PM

I was forced to upgrade to 7.2 today, couldn't send files any longer on 6.5.

Honez · 06-16-2010, 08:33 PM

I am rather enjoying that it is a little bigger than before but, then again my eyes aren't what they used to be so every little bit helps. I don't like that I lost the little icons like the hardhat, beer mug, etc. Jury is out on the Facebook feeds.

RyuLion · 06-16-2010, 08:55 PM

yeap, I just upgrade it. so far so good.

Zorgman · 06-16-2010, 09:06 PM

ICQ for me is just quick message to people I know, I don't want it to be a social networking tool. But I might just stick with icq6 and save myself from the social networking scene.

Honez · 06-16-2010, 09:06 PM

No more N/A status? Hmmmm

mattz · 06-16-2010, 10:05 PM

I saw it today, will have to get it now.

Adam_M · 06-16-2010, 10:07 PM

I have been on 7.2 for a few months and like it.

mattz · 06-16-2010, 10:08 PM

hmm...it won't even install correctly, so nope.

edit: now it works

mattz · 06-16-2010, 10:11 PM

I like the new look...also I see a facebook feature I may have to check out. So far so good, I like it.

Spankys Teens · 06-16-2010, 10:24 PM

i have been using 7.2 for a while now, no probs here

babymaker · 06-16-2010, 10:26 PM

When i moved to my new win7 box i switched to trillian astra its sweet no need for icq by itself.

Adam X · 06-16-2010, 11:28 PM

yeah 7.2 is ok

Klen · 06-17-2010, 04:52 AM

I am still on miranda portable.

Rebel D · 06-17-2010, 06:38 AM

seems to be good. adding the facebook chat i need to remember to turn it off. people are thinking i am a insomniac

Download Trillian and condense all of your screen names into a single great program.

That doesn't happen to me -- maybe give it another try? May have been a bug.

Nikki_Licks · 06-17-2010, 07:58 AM

I have 7.1 and have not upgraded as of yet. I keep getting prompted to upgrade, but have procrastinated about it....maybe I should check it out ;)

Tom_PM · 06-17-2010, 08:05 AM

One of the problems I had with 6.5 was the large message windows. I got it tweaked down to no ads anywhere and just a few lines of messages in the upper, and a line to type on in the lower..My contact list thingy is a rectangle, with green flowers and names, then red flowers and names.. no extra BS. I dont want to have to wrestle to "fix" it again, so I've been trying to ignore the upgrade.

Is it ad-free out of the box this time or plastered with ads, favorites and desktop icons galore?

asianseekerz · 06-17-2010, 08:44 AM

Im using it now and I find its cool!!!!!!

Yea, 3.xx used to do that occasionally, but they fixed that with Astra.

Dunno. I have people just as recently as 2 weeks ago telling me that I have fallen off their contact list from Trillian. One can't even get me added back.

The Duck · 06-17-2010, 09:35 AM

I have been using miranda for years and see no reason to change.

kektex · 06-17-2010, 10:04 AM

I really dont understand why the adult webmaster community is still hanging on to ICQ. We should move to Gtalk or anything else.

Those that use Miranda , dont you have problems where you add someone and then when you move to a different computer or Miranda installation, you dont have those contacts added or you dont have their nick, just their ICQ number?

I tried digsby, miranda (normal and portable) and fring on my phone and I have this problem. It's like ICQ doesnt sync contacts to their network or something.

Marcus Aurelius · 06-17-2010, 10:09 AM

i use 6.5 and loving it

search google for "older icq version"

Boobgirl · 06-17-2010, 11:04 AM

I lost all my history of chat with the upgrade.

Heh, sorry, just letting you know what works for me. (Windows XP Pro)

But getting back to the thread question, I use ICQ 7.2 but setup with a classic view. I only have 'status and name' of the users on my list, rather than 'Status message and avatar'

Serge Litehead · 06-18-2010, 12:19 AM

just realized i'm behind times, using 6.5. what i hate about icq is their crappy way of showing history, wondering if it changed in latest version?

anyone else who upgraded lost their past history logs?
