Anyone else getting "buddy list not available" in AIM?

[Heifetz]

I don't know if its something I did, or the AIM buddy list server is having problems, but I try to log into AIM, and it would try to login for a bit, then give me the message that my buddy list is not available, it's not lost but would be available later. I'm using the version of AIM that stores the buddy list on their server. It would really suck if the list is lost!@! Anyone else getting this problem to reassure me that this is not just happening to me!?

Mine is working now, but I had the same problem as you a few months back. I used my alternate AIM account and the buddy list was fine. It took about a month for my regular account to start working again.

dont worry it keeps a copy of your buddylist on your hdd.

The AIM/Buddylist server is losing its mind.

I've had that happen to me a few times, but just wait an hour or so and it'll be back. Don't worry.

'Tis why I make backups of mine.

However a friend of mine noticed that her AOL mail wasn't being checked tonight (she uses an name on my AOL account, and logs into AIM with it, but uses AT&T Broadband for Internet access; AIM checks AOL mail if you log in using that name). I checked my own, and AIM also wasn't getting the AOL mail, and I wasn't able to log into AOL directly at all, and she did but said it was wicked slow.

So, methinks AOL is having issues tonight.
