my msn was fine up until about 3 hours ago...when my msgs couldn't be sent...stupid msn, they better fix it soon

Canyarion · 10-11-2004, 10:57 AM

Now what? I can't log in, while the help function says their network is just fine.

Well, I never really had any problem using it. I'm using Trillian though, maybe that why I'm not having troubles?

Huh. I thought I was having problems just because I'm on a Mac. Guess that's not the explanation after all.

But then I started using Fire (it's a Trillian type application for Macs), and I haven't had a problem with MSN 95% of the time. Of course, that still means I have connection issues 5% of the time which is much more than I ever do with AIM.

Good thing iChat uses AIM.

MSN, ICQ, AIM, YIM, IRC.

5 in 1

MSN is working.

I have trillian now, i must say, it is good...but I only have people on MSN and AIM, so its not like im missing out on much.

Plus in a convo via MSN/Trillian between me and h-dude, apparently MSN plus is not supported on Trillian, and Trillian also has no audio/visual support.

EDIT: MSN isnt working now....wth.....

EDIT EDIT: MSN is working again.

At least their inconsistency is consistant.

Null · 10-11-2004, 03:56 PM

Why do people always assume programs dont do this or that just cuz its not there when they download it?
you can get a plugin for msn plus stuff. and im not sure what visual/audio things you're talkin about, but theres other plugins with visual and audio things for trillian.

Hm, you're on the MSN network?
Let me hereby express my interest in adding you to my list.

... not like I'm gonna bother you all day or something.

did I sound pathetic?

Trillian is a RAM hog.

MSN is working fine again. I got kicked off last night and they did more maintenance.

Yoda9864 · 10-12-2004, 02:12 PM

Trillian isn't too much of a RAM hog. Not too much more than AIM or MSN I don't think. Of course, I don't really care considering I have 1+ gbs of RAM, lol.
