Do you use Trillian?

[Fyron]

I don't ever have any problems with Trillian...

[Captain Kwok]

I've never had any problems with Trillain either. It's a very handy program.

[Gryphin]

Hm, maybe they fixed some of it. Perhaps it is conflicting with other programs. Does it allow for all of the featurs of the progrms it is the front end for ?

[Ed Kolis]

Hmm, I'm having a few problems with Trillian that I can't seem to figure out, and this seems like a good enough place to ask about them...

If I set Trillian to load on Windows startup, I get two tray icons... eh? How do I prevent that?

Also, is there a way to set Trillian to automatically try to connect to the various services whenever an Internet connection is detected? It's a pain having to click "Global Reconnect" every time I go Online just in case there's someone who wants to chat...

[Suicide Junkie]

In the Connection manager, there is a checkbox on the right side labelled "auto connect to this account on startup"
Check that, and you should be all set.

As for loading on startup, I don't actually use that. With dialup or sympatico, you need to connect to the internet before you bother doing anything on it

I use 3. In order of preferance:
If you add me, please note where you got this from.
Yahoo - gryphin_enchaine
AIM - windingstream
ICQ - I'll have to look it up

I don't use Trillain because I have heard too many problems with it.
I just persuade my friends to use Yahoo. They thank me in the end.

[Ed Kolis]

I already have that checkbox on... guess it only tries to connect when the program loads (i.e. at Windows startup) and not when a connection is detected

[Suicide Junkie]

There are some settings on how to retry.
"Retry X times"
and
"Wait X seconds between tries"

You could increase the retry times to 30 or 60, and have 30-60 seconds between tries...
That should give you 15 minutes to an hour to connect to the internet before it gives up on you.

as for people who actually use the service.. well, i dont know about that so much.

OK. Would someone like to tell me what they use Trillian (or any of these other programs) for? Sorry, but it really, honestly, beats me!
