I've had it with bloody AIM on Windows - cluttering up my screen with a gazillion pop-ups every time I switch on the computer, so I'm uninstalling it and going to go to something like Trillian instead.

So how do I invite myself into Hatrack Chat with Trillian, since I've been so far unsucessful - which is why I installed AIM in the first place?

I use AIM+ and don't get popups... *shrugs*

AIM+?

Troubs is so cute when he's clueless. [Smile]

I can't find my link, but if you google AIM plus you should be able to find it.

Feh on AIM, and on Trillian too!

Use Gaim. [Big Grin]

And don't listen to the website, it works fine with the most current AIM...

I couldn't go to hatrack chat directly through trillian, either. Try adding your name to your buddy list and inviting yourself.

That's it. Add yourself, invite yourself. And then win!

If you use gaim, you can have it setup to automatically log you into chat when you sign on.

And aliases. And tabbed chats. [Big Grin]
