For years I had used ICQ 98a because it was nice and small and simple and had no newbie garbage in it. Then my brother wants 99b which ok good enough cause it's not that much worse than 98a, and I like being able to type long messages if nothing else.
But now, when someone tries to add me to their contact list, it asks for my authorization even though I have it set so EVERYONE CAN FREELY ADD ME. So even though I click authorize and keep clicking it when they send requests, they don't actually get authorization because I don't really have it on in the first place. So in the end, people can't add me to their list anymore lol.
And I can't change my preferences or security settings (perhaps if it was actually set to authorize, ppl could add me when I authorized them).
I guess it's because ICQ is trying to force people to upgrade to newer versions.
So does 2000 work okay? I'd say it just gets worse with each new version so would 2000 be the best choice? It has banners though right?
