i can sign on to AIM, but it says some crap about my buddy list being lost, and i cant send instant messages, so it might as well be dead.... i'm just gonna keep trying to sign on until it starts working right

Hmmm... Well i still cant get my buddy list to work using my normal ScreenName, but i just tried switching screen names to another one that i have and it works fine. So i switched back over to my normal screen name and it still doesnt work. I dont know what is going on

Most likely, one of their servers that stores user info has gone down. So some screennames work and some don't.

my aim cannot get my buddylist to work either.

i am happy you guys mentioned this because i got a new computer and downloaded trillian (one of those all-in-one IM programs) but decided it sucked too much so i downloaded AIM. I thought that i had somehow b0rked up my list by getting trillian but i didn't, thank goodness.

Your buddy list and alerts are currently not available, but they have not been lost. Please try again later.

Booooooo- urns. :frown:

if you actually read it, it said your buddy list was not lost.
