   i just signed up for the beta, and amt rying it out. i have pidgin with AIM / MSN.. oddly enough it logs all of the messages i receive but none of hte messages i send

   any idea why this is?

   also is there a wiki or some sort of bug tracker we could get to or shoudl be looking at?

   That’s really odd… can you tell us the version of Pidgin? (look for version number somewhere at help or about)

   We will setup a wiki shortly.

   Hi! I just signed in for the beta and I got it working except for one problem…. I use Trillian 3.0 and after changing the proxy setting, trillian keeps signing me off and back on every few minutes.

   Like the concept of history.im !

   Hi Aravind, what type of IM account do you use, AOL or MSN? Is the internet connection good to your computer?

    I use Trillian for Yahoo. I have a 256kbps connection, but it keeps fluctuating between 128 and 256.

    Aravind, Trillian 3.0 does not have any proxy configurations in settings. you should update to version 3.1, it specifically resolves some problems with yahoo and also it supports Proxy settings (in Trillian Preferences -> Advanced Preferences -> Proxy Server)

    Aravind, I have found that people have the same trouble with trillian without our proxy. I’m not sure why exactly right now, not enough info yet.

14. Aravind Says:

    I knew that Yahoo had this sort of problem, which is why I switched to Trillian and never noticed a disconnection. Trillian lets me chat for hours without losing the connection. As said in the link youp rovided, trillian might be getting disconnected but am yet to notice it. But after turning on the proxy, the connection keeps getting cut at an average of 3-4 minutes. I just found out that I also have the same problem as Nate about not being able to send messages, but being able to receive them. But after getting reconnected, I am able to do do both. Maybe I should try Pidgin.

    i use trillian. i send messages and they get saved. but the recipient doesnt get them. account name is xolubi (yahoo). when the remote party sends me a message, it doesnt get delivered/stored.

    maybe a bug for me?

    when i click show all contacts, all contacts are shown, but there is no way to go back]

    button remains labeled show all contacts and does nothing.

    i want to swithc back to the view of just the people who i have a history saved with…

17. Andrew Masyk Says:

    Just click on “Name” or “ID” and you’ll see only your contacts with history. We’ll add more functionality to that soon.
