Topic: Why do people still use Proteus?

I don't really know how critical I can be, honestly, because it has been two years since I've regularly used Proteus, but here goes. I'm going to go way back, 4 years now, when I was just starting on OS X from the dark days of System 9. I began with Proteus, and I had a friend on my floor in college...

.84 Refuses To Connect An Account

Alright, I checked trac and couldn't find anything similar to this. Last night, still running .83, I got a send file request, and it did not work, so I cancelled it. After swapping to Safari, Adium crashed. I figured this would be a good time to install the new .84 update. Now the account I was logg...

Further update: this feels like a mystery show. evands clued me in and I believe I figured it out. I think that Proteus was running its daemon in the background somehow, and since its account was available, it sucked up all my messages, especially when I was away. Since I was pretty sure AIM servers...

Once again, bad news to report, unfortunately. I left for dinner and a friend arrived there and told me he had sent me a message asking if I was going. When I asked if I showed to be away, he said no. I returned from dinner to find the client had not received the message, either. No rate limiting e...

Yeah, sorry, it is AIM. I only connect one AIM account these days, no ICQ or any other service.

Alrighty. Prefs were moved, I didn't even save my history. This morning, I went to class. I came back and Adium displayed two rate limiting errors, and some people on my list, instead of having an away message, just had "Yes" in the tooltips, like their away messages were not loaded. I the...

you could quit adium, move your preferences to another places and restart Adium this way, you'll create new preferences. if the problem persists then you'll probably have to delete your prefs (not sure though) if it also doesn't work, then you know your prefs are not the cause...

I use Adium nearly exclusively for AIM, and everything I mention below pertains to AIM contacts and lists. I am sorry if any of this has been mentioned before, but I could not find anything when I searched for it. I have the latest version of Mac OS X.3 and am using Adium .77. I recently had to rein...
