RTZ Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I'm still using old ancient version of messenger one thats part of outlook express i do not like new MSN is trillian better ANY SUGGESTIONS. Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted July 25, 2008 Administrator Posted July 25, 2008 I use Pidgin to handle my IM stuff. It's alright, requires GTK+. Quote
Eldmannen Posted July 25, 2008 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
Ultimate Predator Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Never really liked the alternatives to WLM, so Iuse the lastets version of WLM with A-Patch. Quote
RTZ Posted August 5, 2008 Author 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
Ultimate Predator Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 WLM with A-Patch, not a resource hog, but heavily upgraded form old MSN. Quote
Eldmannen Posted August 8, 2008 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
RTZ Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 I gave Miranda a whirl did not like it at all. I decided to give Pidgin another go around. Quote
Ultimate Predator Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Don't like either of them TBH. Neither allow for MSN to add YIM contacts. Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted August 9, 2008 Administrator Posted August 9, 2008 Pidgin allows for YIM contacts to be added under MSN. Quote
RTZ Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 Pidgin seems to be working perfectly it is a keeper. :gold: Quote
Ultimate Predator Posted August 10, 2008 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
Administrator Tarun Posted August 10, 2008 Administrator 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
