Edit | I found Trillian to be a bit more stable and user-friendly, but that's just me. GAIM is still a fine piece of work. ^.^ |

If you dont need the voice features of gmail or msn, and can live with crappy file transfers, GAIM is awesome. I dont need that crap anyway, so it helps - logs me in my gmail, both AIMS, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo. |

Total Posts: 1892 | In response to JC's comment, I've never had Gaim even hint at being unstable, and that's while using the latest release candidates for version 2.0
EDIT [dsp]: The c is lowercase... wouldn't want him to have a fit again!
EDIT [allynfolksjr]: I'll capitalize it if I want to. :)

Total Posts: 428 | i just got trillion..... it works great....
the only thing i don't like about gaim/trillion.... is that if i'm away from my computer for awhile...... it automatically disconnects.....
-this is not much of a problem, but i'd rather not have to reconnect everytime-
is there some kind of plugin i have to activate?? or do i have to live w/ it??
---and i love the sounds that trillion makes.... it's like an airplane
*ding*
i kind of like trillion better....... just my Overall opinion.....
is there another type of program??..... w/e

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

Total Posts: 1892 | I've never had that problem with Gaim, so it must be Trillian or your internet connection. |

Edit | I just started using gaim as well. One thing that bothers me about it is that it lacks the blinking feature that aim had. I am referrring to when someone messages you, the conversation will blink in the taskbar. Without this I never know when I get imes, then I check the window an hour later and someone messaged me 300000000 times. Is there anyway to turn this back on? |
