Ok I'm about to ditch ICQ
 
I'm not able to ad contacts anymore, tried to remove some but didn't help.

History is not properly saved anymore.

Besides that a power outage in the office got rid of all icq messages I received during my vacation. Love it!

So all the cool kids are on Skype these days right?

My Skype name is RoaldR add me and let's try to get used to that.

Trillian is working well these days. I just installed it last week on a new machine. It should load your contacts. Works with many chat services.

BAKO 10-24-2012 12:44 PM

I switched few years ago. Loving Skype

Sarah_Jayne 10-24-2012 12:44 PM

I am using ICQ less and less and more Skype.

Sjayne76 is me on Skype. I believe we have some stuff to talk about, too.

Itchy 10-24-2012 12:47 PM

The issue last time with importing icq was that all groups and all were gone in trillian. It was a disorganized mess.

True enough. You will have to rebuild groups. It doesn't remember them.

Imortyl Pussycat 10-24-2012 12:59 PM

most days i forget to turn on icq until someone reminds me in skype to do so. sent you a request to add

stephane76 10-24-2012 01:00 PM

added! i am adding more and more people on Skype.
ICQ is starting to suck !

BSleazy 10-24-2012 01:01 PM

I would just use trillian so you can still use icq, along with skype and several other programs.

2012 10-24-2012 01:04 PM

I always have problems with Skype messages coming in very late, as in hours and even days. I've reinstalled, upgraded every time they upgrade, and nothing seems to stop it from happening. If I relied only on Skype I'd be screwed.

Once in awhile I'll receive a message that was sent from someone a few days prior too.That's my only issue with Skype, but it doesn't happen often on my end. In comparison with ICQ, I hardly use that anymore. I'm almost always on Skype though.

I get those, too, but mostly just when I log in on other computers. I'm only on ICQ cuz the masses here move slowly. :)

Rochard 10-24-2012 02:02 PM

Not sure why people have so many problems with ICQ really... Works great for me.

RevSand 10-24-2012 04:56 PM

Have not been on ICQ in a long time. I do prefer skype also.

My Skype name is RoaldR add me and let's try to get used to that.

I pretty much ditched ICQ long ago. It's full of spam, half the time when adding people, they never get notifications and can be quite bloated for what it is.

GTalk is where it's at. Pretty much all we use on a constant basis.

mce 10-24-2012 07:53 PM

Let's talk. My SKYPE is marketingcopyexpert.services

Chosen 10-24-2012 08:24 PM

Skype sucks as IM...
As for ICQ, try alternative client...

I imported to Pidgin, no problem importing logs, groups etc. And you get pretty much unlimited contacts. Try it before you stop using ICQ altogether, it's still widely used in our industry. Me personally, I still prefer it to Skype.

Roald 10-25-2012 11:25 AM

god dammit, you cant create groups in skype??!?

Pidgin. The sooner, the better.

O MARINA 10-25-2012 11:47 AM

No ICQ? Not cool enough for me.

Bryan G 10-25-2012 12:14 PM

Trillian Vs. Pidgin ? What do you think?

Got used to the clean layout of Trillian does Pidgin work better?

Never used Trillian, but I'm happy as a pig in shit with Pidgin. No problem importing groups/contacts, unlimited contacts etc.

might have to give it another shot, how's file transfers? Trillian seems to be pretty inconsistent in that sense, for me.

ThumbLord 10-25-2012 03:51 PM

np, just deleted you

LamboSV 10-25-2012 04:16 PM

Trillian is awesome
Switched over from Pidgin because Trillian also allows Skype

Add me on skype: eagle7715

ICQ didn't let me add any new ones for awhile too even though I removed a crapload (guess I finally got under their "unmentioned" limit) until I finally created groups and moved people in/out.

Once I did that, I was able to add far more people than I started out with. Maybe give that a try & see if it works for you.
