I need help with Trillian

[lilminx]

Ok, I downloaded Trillian, and I know that you can use it for multiple messenger programs. I have heard that you can use it for multiple names in ech messenger program, but I don't know how to. When I downloaded it, it just asked for one aim name, one yahoo name, etc. How can I make it so that I can have more than one aim name signed on at a time?

i have trillian...i don't think you can use two different names at the *same* time...but you surely can have more than one name...i do! good luck!

 

[lilminx]

Hmmm... someone told me that they use 3 different names for aim and yahoo, and that they are able to have all 6 going at the same time with Trillian.

Me too. I can't figure out how to register. Monk has it downloaded, but I can't get signed on.

lilminx - bring up the Connection Manager (click on the globe, hover over 'connection', then click on Connection Manager). Pick the chat medium in the drop-down at the top left (AIM, Y!, etc). Highlight the account that comes up in the ID box (probably your primary account), clear it and type in your second account & password, then click 'connect'.

That should do it - when you click on the icon for that messenger, it should show both accounts. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Myst - be happy to help if I can, have you tried setting up your accounts in the Connection Manager screen?

 

[lilminx]

Thank you!

Now I just have to figure out why all my names say I'm offline, even though I went to the connection manager and put "connect".

I downloaded Trillian once to try it out as so many liked it. Am I the only one who didn't like it???

Im not sure how I did it but I did it once. i think you have to go into the prefrences for the AIM part to do it. I did it on MSN once because i messed mine up and didn't put in the correct pw.

LovePotion, the most recent release is significantly better
