My Trillian is not lighting up when messages come in
 

I recently went over from using ICQ and AIM as separate programs to using Trillian and I never see a message right when it comes in now, which kind of defeats the point of instant messaging. When I get an instant AIM or ICQ message, nothing lights up or pops up.

Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

easy fix, just use icq or aim

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. :1orglaugh

I have that same problem with trillian. MSN works fine but ICQ sometimes doesn't blink, but also it starts blinking sometimes even when no message was sent.

Go to >> Trillian Preferences >> When a new message window is created ... >>> Show the window on the desktop ...


How comes it says you are never online on ICQ? I added you a few months back, need to talk about SpookyCash with ya ... :)

My trillian won't even connect to ICQ today..I would take it not blinking at this stage.

I sent a few messages and people didn't get them.. I guess I'll go back to ICQ or I'll maybe install Pidgin...

If you can't get trillian to work you can try any of the following which are great IM programs.
