I have it, but for well over 24 hours, I can't log in.
No error messages, it just stops at "2. Verifying name and password" anyone else?

P.S. I am "BlasterC4" on AIM.

It has been working just fine for me.

Hey SoCalRat67 I wonder what the 39% means beside your screen name?

Hey 81,

I am having the same problem and nothing is wrong with my pc. Tried a reboot just to check, no luck. I suspect that aol is having problems, what else is new.

These problems may be related to the battle AOL has been having with Microsoft and other internet service providers (ISP) to deny non-AOL ISPs access to AOL's Instant Messenger system. In recent weeks it's been an ongoing game where AOL erects a barrier and Microsoft finds a way to evade it.

AOL instant messanger s*cks! and so does AOL for that matter IMO. If you want the same functionality with reliability and best of all no cost...get ICQ. This p*ssing match between AOL and MS is going to cost them customers.

Dean,
That 39% is my warning rating. My friend clicked it 5 times to see if it did anything. That's why he drives Firebirds and I drive Chevelles. I'm smarter.

Bob70,
I don't like AOL either, but I use the messenger & sorry to report this, but ICQ is owned and operated by AOL! They own everything! When is this madness going to stop?

OK, It's working again, been chatting with Ohio buddy (Syclone owner). I've put SoCalRat and jshrub into my buddy list, although that takes a lot of time from this EXTREMELY valuable site!!!!
