Not sure how new this version is but it's gotta be pretty current. I just downloaded it and I like it a whole lot. Anybody else get it and what do ya think?
 
It took me a while to get used to, but now I really like it better than the older versions.
 
There's a few things that I do like.

Pros
  • I kinda like how they bunch up all the IM windows into one tab.
  • I REALLY like the log that it keeps. It makes tracking the convo easier.
  • I like the button setup, and how it drops down

Cons
  • It's ugly as hell
  • I miss the option of only hearing the IM sound when they first IM you.
 
Honestly, I do. Just not for AIM. Reason being, I like my AIM Smileys, and if I switch, I lose them. :(
 
I'm starting to not like this version as much. I keep getting signed off, and then it takes AGES to get signed in again.

Its doing that to me, too. Which is really weird because YIM and Trillian stay connected. :huh:
 
is this like aim triton or something equally suck? cuz if so, it sucks. if not, aim triton or whatever sucks. also, trillian sucks too. so does yahoos im thing. : O
 
While you're listing all the ones that suck, you should really add MSN messenger.
 
I wouldn't know. The five people I know on MSN never talk.
 
kypade should know, but maybe it doesn't suck for him. For me, it signs me off every ten seconds ever since I updated to a newer version. Ugh.
 
I don't have problems, but I use Trillian for that
 
actually, i left msn off cuz i like it : O aim, gtalk and msn are ok with me. mostly.
 
AIM 6.0 didnt look nice so i stayed with the old one :)
 
I stuck with AIM 5.0 because Triton just sucks, everythings different...that and I like my blue smilies :p
