I hope you all are still there in an hour or so. I promised my son Wienershnitzle so we're off to go get that. Then I need to download AIM as I'm in the same boat as hotbox05.

 

Trillian should work fine getting into an AIM chatroom...

Any client app that can create a chat should be able to join a chat using exactly the same method.

(Creating and going to an AIM chat are the same thing: if the roon does not already exist it creates the empty room, if it DOES exist, it joins the existing room.)

i create the chat room scionlife and i'm always THE ONLY one in there.


trillian uses "exchange 5" chat rooms

 

Well, I just went to the AIM ScionLife chat using a non-AOL client app and am one of the five people chatting in there right now. We've had a few others wander in and out while I've been there.

im using trillian pro right now and i am in the aim chatroom
it has always worked for me

 

Damn work firewall. I can't have AIM

I WANNA CHAT

 

In fact, at least one of the 'chatters' currently in the room uses trillian...

 

thats me!

 

i use trillian... it's not working for me/

somebody send me an invite!

 

Yeah, I'd already posted by the time I notice you beat me to it here, so I just left it, Chris.

Whenever I fire up my AIM client I get bombarded with IMs - means I kinda get behind on everything else.

Tom

 

i can't get in. I go to join chat and put scionlife and end up in a room by myself.

 

Hm, I don't see squat about getting to a chat room on Trillian.

 

you go and click on the aim icon up top then theres an option saying join a chat but it's for some other chat service. maybe it's ause I don;t pay for trillian pro .

lol paying for an im program. wow./

 

Okay, thanks hotbox05, that worked... I think. One other person in the room.

 

ummm i didnt pay for it
wow

 

Well, that person isn't chatting. Boo hoo!

And the aim:gochat?roomname=ScionLife in the URL thing doesn't work for me.

 

Check the options/preferences for your app - is it set to go to AIM for chat, or to some other service???

 

to use the link you have to have aol software on your comp. sorry jenna that was me in that room .

 

I think you're on to something, Tomas. But I don't see any way of selecting what type of chat I want.

I'm just going to start downloading AIM now.

 

i wont. too much on my old desktop. tis why i got trillian so i can chat with aim and msn people with less strain on my comp.
