I hate ICQ
I'm sooo freakin' annoyed with ICQ right now. Freakin' piece of crap software. When I try to load my main identity, it loads, but then none of my contacts appear. Then when I log off and start-up ICQ under a secondary identity, all of those contacts appear. Not the contacts I currently need though. It's not like the main identity has a contact list of 600 or something like that. It's a small list. It's just more annoying than anything. I just hate when I need to talk to someone and I know they are on ICQ and not the other IM programs, and then I have to result to sending an email and then waiting.
I just needed to rant. LOL! It's monday.

Panky, I have had the same problem several times over the past half year, and I know... it is annoying.
I ended up having to have to backup my history (somewhere else), uninstall ICQ completely including manually deleting empty directorys, and then re-installing from scratch.
I tried Trillian for a bit... but I can't stand it.

That's a relief to know that I'm not the only one who does not like Trillian. I felt like such an idiot because everyone brags it up, but it seemed rather unorganized and confusing to me.
I'll have to follow your advice and do that sometime today. I heard people post with various ICQ problems, but I was one who never had ICQ issues up until now. I guess it's just a matter of time until it was my turn. LOL!
Thank you Chris.

I don't know why ICQ is so popular. Everyone outside of work that I know has MSN. Maybe it's a Canadian thing??? Personally, I love MSN. I also here good things about AIM . . .

LOL! I don't know if it is a Canuck thing or not. I'm an American. I think it just a means of communications a lot of people in this industry got into the habit of using. My mainstream contacts are mostly all through MSN.
LOL @ monaro... Just wait. Your time for ICQ problems is just right around the corner.

I've heard good things about Trillian but haven't tried it myself. What didn't you like?

LOL! I'm just an import. Americans are more interested in Toronto.
