Help me defeat Instant Messenger glitches?

Have you tried Yahoo? I believe they have a good IM thingy…can’t recall if I’ve ever tried it myself though.

I use AIM daily and have no issues with it. You might give it a try.

@FutureMemory I don’t really want to download yet another thingy without hearing what people who use it think of it. Thanks for the feedback though. :)

@Hawaii_Jake Do you use AdBlock also?

@Blueroses : Sorry, no, I don’t use Adblock.

Why not skype?

E-buddy is a good one, or whatever its called

Are you both on dial-up or at least one of you on dial-up?

Do you know if you are loosing internet connectivity during these blips? Does your network connection icon in your system tray say anything?
Who is your internet provider?
How is your PC connected? wireless to the neighbor? (just kidding)

Yahoo messenger is very stable and if one party does get intermittently knocked off, the offline messages work pretty seemless…

I can’t stand Skype’s layout and the last time I tried it, it was constantly signing itself in whether I wanted it or not and unblocking people I had blocked.

@Tropical_Willie I believe we both use broadband and wireless routers. I’ll ask him though. Good point. just asked, yes. We both have cable modems

@blueiiznh I don’t think that’s the case because I think the frequency of it happening would be noticeable in other areas like fluther chat rooms or streaming videos. Both of those are issue-free.

You could try Pidgen to log into all of them without actually dealing with the program.

Thanks @Aethelflaed that’s a really good idea. I’ll look into that.

@Blueroses Anytime :)

We tried AIM and it works perfectly :)

Thanks Jake!
