aim problems

[ieldib]

i was using my mac earlier and was running aim fine im'ing a bunch of people so i then decieded to quit aim and mess around with the terminal , i do a cc -v browse the filesystem a little doing a ls and ls -al , then i finally deciede to close the terminal and relaunch aim , so i do it launches , but its gets to the part of the data retrieval on my news ticker right after it loads my buddy list then it just freez's , has this happened to anybody else , i dont think its the 10.1.4 update that caused this because i was using it earlier and it was running fine.

OH SHIT.... this happened to me!!!
That means it's not an AIM problem.. it's an AOL problem?

I was able to use other AIM clients like Adium just fine... even AIM for OS 9... but the OS X version is freezing on me at the news ticker!!! I noticed this on 4/27, at night.

Anyone else???

i think this has something to do with aim for os x only also as my os 9 version works fine, good to see that im not the only one with this problem, i hope aol fixes this soon i tried uninstalling and installing but same problem exists

Use Adium

The AIM OS X client sucks majorly.

I'll second (third? fourth? 32nd thousand? ) that. Adium rocks.

adium is light doesnt take up that much sys resources but being light it has sacrificed alot of aim features , aim for os x still is the leading aim client that supports all the aim features , buddy icon , file transfer direct im images , e.t.c.

I understand. File transfer is apparently coming really soon. And stuff like buddy icons I honestly couldn't care less about. But if it means that much to you and you like Adium, have you requested it?
