AIM Buddy list just vanished...

[Soapy Bones]

So I logged into AIM on my laptop, which is usually fine, and it showed some error message, which i dont remember now but it was a runtime error and asked if i wanted to debug or cancel so I hit cancel. Anyways, I logged restarted my computer and it wouldnt load up right, so I uninstalled it re-downloaded from aim.com and now my list is completely gone. It shows all of my groups and whatnot, but it doesnt show anyone as being online or offline.

I submitted a problem on the aim.com website which is the only thing that i could find. I think this happened before but it came back within a few minutes or said a particular message saying that it was unavailable and would be back shortly. Well its been like 10 hours and it still hasn't come back.
What can I do!!

Oh noes...i really have no idea since i'd never touch anything made by AOL, but i hope you can get it figured out.

Use Trillian or GAIM

I highly doubt that would help. Your buddly list is stored via AOL, not on your computer, so its AOL's server fault most likely, not just the program.

I can't even find a contact email to actually get anything done through them...

If anyone knows a good contact email to get something done... please help me out!


Its definitely a server problem because i can't log in on any of my computers or even my cell phone.

funny

I would understand if they were all offline

all of my groups say 0/0, which is just plain wrong

 

[vshah]

just get signed on when you can, and anyone who wants to talk to you will im you. simple as that

You need to go buy something on some insecure yahoo store ASAP

O make sure to use your CC, the good one.

Dunno about GAIM, but Trillian also stores a local copy - which would have helped.

Exactly what I was getting at, but it's too little too late for it if the list no longer exists..
