Therefore, when I come home from work, I get a bunch of emo babble like, "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME?!?!?!" and about 50 of those little "buzz" things in Yahoo IM. Yeah. If someone doesn't respond to you in a few minutes, chances are, they're not there. I'm hardly on IM anymore for that reason, because people love to be clowns.

So, I picked up on that. :) *hugs* *giggles* I have not had that issue with Trillian… but thought you might be away, as only one of your nicks was available. So, I picked up on that.

(Oh, I probably should admit that I've never actually used Trillian, usually I use either Pidgin/GAIM (or occasionally the official client if I need to transfer files, which Pidgin/GAIM seems to fail at for some reason).)

Unfortunately I don't think there's much of a fix. I'm not sure if this is a Yahoo protocol issue or a Trillian bug. I used to have that issue a lot.

I'll take a look sometime, thanks for the suggestion.

Most of it was because of a large collection of small things, but the big one is that I hate the way it handles contacts with multiple SNs.
