Suddenly ICQ keeps asking for login?

Post by caboodle »

Anything wacky at the ICQ headquarters today?

Using Adium 1.3.3. on a 2.4 GHz Intel Mac laptop, running OS X v. 10.4.11.

This just started happening about 10 minutes ago outta the blue (was chatting with ICQ contact last night just fine): I'm logged in to Adium and can see/chat with my AIM, MSN, iChat contacts ok, but I'm logged out of ICQ for some reason and the ICQ log-in user name password account access dialogue box pops up, prefilled with my info, I click OK, and it disappears for two seconds then pops back up again asking me to click OK, I do, it reappears, lather, rinse, repeat.

I've manually re-entered my ICQ account and pswd and clicked OK, same thing keeps going on. Between last night when things were fine, and today when this started happening, I haven't run any updates to Adium or any System updates. Was just logged in to everything with Adium and cruising along.

So, is this just a sun spot on my machine, or does anyone know - Anything wacky at the ICQ headquarters today?

Thank you!

I had this problem too, but it seems to have resolved itself.

Typed 'icq' into search.twitter.com and quickly found that many people (also non-Adium) were having problems. There's a Dutch saying that "shared grief is halve the grief." =-)
