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?
