Administrator Tarun Posted July 25, 2008 Administrator Share Posted July 25, 2008 I use Pidgin to handle my IM stuff. It's alright, requires GTK+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 On Windows I use Miranda IM. (Very light-weight) On Ubuntu, I use Pidgin. (Pidgin works for Windows too though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Never really liked the alternatives to WLM, so Iuse the lastets version of WLM with A-Patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTZ Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thank You for all the info right now I see no good alternatives the old MSN that came with OS for my needs is more then adequate and not a resource hog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 WLM with A-Patch, not a resource hog, but heavily upgraded form old MSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTZ Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Is Miranda any good is it stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Is Miranda any good is it stable. It is very minimalistic and light-weight. It also have plugins to extend it, and it is highly configurable. I do think that it is good and stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTZ Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 I gave Miranda a whirl did not like it at all. I decided to give Pidgin another go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Don't like either of them TBH. Neither allow for MSN to add YIM contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted August 9, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 9, 2008 Pidgin allows for YIM contacts to be added under MSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTZ Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Pidgin seems to be working perfectly it is a keeper. :gold: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Pidgin allows for YIM contacts to be added under MSN. Is this a relatively new feature, because I swear it didn't before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted August 10, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 10, 2008 It has, even since the MSN/Yahoo protocols added the ability to add cross contacts. I have heard it's a bit buggy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
