new aim sucks.

[YakuzaS14]

has anyone updated their aol instant messanger.
well i formated my computer. so i was updating everything went to aim.com to get the aim. and saw that it was totally diffrent. but after downloading it i didnt like it at all. it plays random sounds all the time and the adds have sound. using it sucks adding a buddy took me 3 minutes to figure out. if u still have the old aim do not update stay with it as long as u can. AOL SUCKS

[Ritz S14]

Yeah, new AIM sucks!! Since then, I switch everything to Trillan.

[FaLKoN240]

Yeah, AIM has all those profile snakes and shit. I just use Trillian.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Ditto on Trillian, I lost my aim and had to install that shitty new aim and hated it so I just got trillian pro. Love it way more than AIM Triton.

[EEdude]

ahahahhaha I'm still using the older version; Two versions before the new one. Why upgrade when it works fine?

[kazuo]

+1 for Trillian.

Way better than AIM, with all their ads and popup bullshit.

[Ghettokracker71]

I use iChat :-D

[Var]

if i download Trillian will i be able to import my AIM buddy list?

[Ritz S14]

AIM stores your buddylist on their system database.

[!Zar!]

I use the telephone... Who needs aim? Haha. I hate the new aim also, so whenever I get around to it I''ll download trillian.

[Ritz S14]

Download Trillian HERE (http://www.download.com/Trillian/3000-2150-10047473.html)

Trillian is a little weird, I sometimes can't always get it to direct connect.

[OptionZero]

aim ad hack solves alot

problem with AIM is certain routers (linksys) default config makes you lose your connections regularly, i used to get dropped every 10 minutes till my house bought a new one (netgear)

[TurDz]

Yup, Aim Ad Hack user here. They're good with having an update the instant a new AIM version comes out. Cleans up the messenger very nicely.

[Arsenal of Glory]

Adium user here. simple and more customizable.
I'd recommend it to anyone using a Mac

[KwKouki]

I use iChat :-D

Much respect for a fellow mac user :high5:

and yes KW,macs rule! This is my first run, iBook :w00t: its just an old G3(panther OSX),but got it for cheap caus I needed something portable,and am completely HOOKED on macs...

[S14DB]

I bought Trillian for my PC's and it Fubars my buddylists.

[Irukandji]

hehe got rid of my aim triton and installed trillion.

that new aim took a while to sign in and load chat windows... kind of a ram sucker

[BillKlineVT]

or you could just go to www.oldversion.com and download an older version of aim... I still rock 5.2.3292 or whatever it is... old school, works with the older free versions of deadaim too

I just got a new computer last month and that is what I did; Version 5.5.3598, same one I been using for a LONG time now, since 2-3 upgrades ago.

[SimpleSexy180]

www.adiumx.com

you can also log into multiple chat clients with this (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, iChat)

[theicecreamdan]

didnt trillion use to have a virus or something?

ever since I installed trillian my computer goes haywire when I shut down... but Im not positive its trillian's fault.

[HyperTek]

so will trillion allow me to direct connect for file/picture transfers?? does it log aim chats? does it allow me to go invisible? I like the old aim back in the day when I could use programs like aim+ or Middleman.. but that doesnt work anymore..

I will have to check this out. Last multi chat client I had was fire and I didnt like it.

[dct223]

im a dead aim user... no problems so far

[NZO]

I still rock v4.7.2

I got Trillian Pro and I can connect to some people and can't with others. You can save chats and will display last 20 or so lines of chat since you last talk to hte person. Yes you can go invisble, I like it cause when i use AIM it shutsdown on me like after 5 mins of usage...

[YakuzaS14]

i got the 5.5.3598 back from oldversion.com site. its money

[rms13]

i just use an older version of aim with aimutation. works fine

[ALTRNTV]

I have Version 5.9.3681.

I like the older versions though.

[Helghast]

I still use 5.5.3992 or whatever..

It's hacked tho, it has nothing but the buddy list and one menu called "Menu".

I tried Miranda too one time, it was good but, like trillian, rarely be able to Direct Connect.

[kazuo]

I've been using Trillian literally for years.. never had problems whatsoever.

As long as your router is setup properly, DC/filesend/etc works.

Trillian will import ALL buddylists, etc., and autologs all chats.

Supports AIM/ICQ/MSN/YAHOO/IRC.

Only "bad" thing is the free version does not support HTML in user profiles.

[Shells]

Yea, Triton sucks.
