Anyone else having massive problems with ICQ?
 

I don't even know why we still use this. It's horrible.

Can't stay connected to save my life.

can't change the password :Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

I did not have problems with ICQ. ICQ is useful for negotiating payments online.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

works normally here

I have a problem with it always telling me that I have to upgrade it before it'll load, then after clicking NO a few times, it loads fine.

It also recently started showing a small flash ad inside the message window itself (I have all other ads blocked), and whenever it does that, all of the drop down menu's in ICQ as well as the right-click menu on the ICQ taskbar icon fail to operate. Forcing ctrl-alt-del.

But you know, other than that it's a piece of crap. ie: normal.

working fine for me, surprisingly

Do you use the original icq? I'm using trillian and have been having connection problems for some days now

Trillian has been having problems with it for a while for me now.

YES, I should have said that. With Trilian it won't connect.

the problem with ICQ is.... ICQ.


Skype ftw. :2 cents:

The latest version of Skype is now my messenger of choice

I've been having problems connecting for a while now. Sometimes it works fine. Using Trillian.

ICQ 2001b is still working perfectly for me!

DWB, I am on Adium and everything is fine here

Alternative clients working just fine :)

Yes trillian has a problem connecting to icq

Been running on Adium since I picked up the mac last year... zero issues.

yeah i like it.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Same here...I do a reconnect and 80% that fixes it.

I use http://www.pidgin.im/ It supports icq, google talk, aim, yahoo, msn, irc and a bunch of others.

My only complaint is when it adds people, I can't view who they are first and how it handles authorizations, it can be gay. Other than that, it rocks, connects, and isn't a giant bloated pile of crap while it sits in your system tray.

It's trillian for me too, but if I just tell it to connect repeatedly, it amazingly works eventually. I do notice my productivity has decreased though... :error:helpme:disgust

ICQ is sucking balls slightly more than usual lately...

I always have to delete someone before I add a new person. Kind of sucks

Works fine here, the only problem I've got is the Russian spammers who keep adding you.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Skype Skype Skype Skype.

Why the fuck does everyone still use ICQ :( Never ending problems, dropped messages, not saving contacts names correctly, etc etc and a horrible interface.

I do not comprehend how everyone is not on skype. Quick and clean chats, group chats, free voice to other users, can delete messages after they are posted so it's not on record even if you save logs, works every fucking time etc.

Seriously folks, what the fuck are you doing?

Yea stop keeping these faggots in business FFS, if it wasn't for adult webmasters they'd prolly have shut up shop 10 years ago lol.

Exactly. There's no reason why people should have to download alternative chat clients just to use a certain program. I shouldn't have to use trillian to get onto ICQ when skype works just fine without a bunch of other random shit.

Even AIM works better, and AIM sucks.

Yep. ICQ is not even in the same league. The ease of getting business done on Skype in comparison to ICQ is amazing. Honestly, for the last few months I've been asking for everyones Skype contact and trying to conduct conversations there instead.

i have some times can not connect

Getting the same problems. Finally gave in and loaded the new version. Which so far is fine.

I have troubles adding contacts...

I solved my problem : uninstall.

I don't like it as well. I think it is missing my messages.

Other than that it's a piece of crap, all is sort off working as a piece of crappy software should work.

Yeah ICQ has been giving me problems when using Trillian...it's pretty annoying. I wish the adult industry would switch to a more efficient method of doing business rather then use the old pierce of trash that is ICQ...seriously who the hell uses ICQ outside of adult?

Same here.

Working ok for me today. I noticed an upgrade is available, but have not allowed that yet. I'm afraid ICQ is so embedded now it would be difficult to find an alternative.

I hate that. I hate icq so much. I wish everyone would just e-mail or use skype.

Feels like I'm sending messages into a black hole lately

Fuckin' nothing going through.

Can't afford not to use ICQ! that is the main reason I still use it!

Seems to stay connected after trying about 8 times.

i hate icq god damnit

Everybody just needs to head on over to Skype already.

Fuck ICQ. The only reason I use it at all is cause so many people on the board do.

working ok here ;)

I Agree.

yeh ICQ is a load of FAIL lately...I get added by Ruskies all the time shits annoying
