ICQ Lite

Ever head of this ICQ before?

Perhaps not, ICQ Lite was previously web based ICQ, now called "ICQ2Go!". Very handy if you like to chat from school or job.

But now to the point, some time ago new Alpha version of ICQ Lite was released. Few days ago I decided to give it a go, to my surprise it really is very good! No more advertisement banners and useless **** laying all over place!

Although this is still considered Alpha, it's not crashed single time since I begun to use it.

Although some of you may not like it's new "better" look, there's a skin folder under ICQ Lite's installation directory. I don't know if there is already alternative skins somewhere, but I am sure that full skinning support will eventually come in future versions.

Note for ICQ Lite: Make sure you have "Auto save incoming and outgoing messages" selected from preferences!

Bye bye ICQ "Pro", welcome ICQ Lite!

I don't think theres ever been a "stable" version of ICQ...

At least its always been in Alpha or Beta the entire time I've used it (since 2000a).

Because I have no idea what you mean, then I suppose: "No".

Bleh. Any version after ICQ 98 sucked, badly. Thankfully I still have a copy of it... somewhere. I guess it really doesn't matter because I use Trillian now.

Trillians OK... When they fix their ICQ module so that it allows you to synchronise your contact list with the online version ICQ keep on their servers (like just about EVERY OTHER IM PROGRAM OUT THERE including the other 3 which Trillian supports) then it'll own.

Agreed, since I just lost my ICQ database
AIM recovered it from the web no problem, plus it makes synching buddy changes from home->school a snap.

Oh, and I wish their IRC client supported highlighting. If it did, I'd use it. As it stands, I got so used to it that I run mIRC instead...

no, see, I want Trillian IRC to support highlighting. I know mIRC does, I use mIRC now because of highlighting
