I haven’t been able to log into AOL Instant Messenger all day. Every other internet connection is working fine. I use gaim to log into AIM, but I also tried using AIM Express and couldn’t get that to work either. Anyone else having trouble?

Appears to be global. I just got an email concerning our Corporate AIM system:  
\*  
AIM is experiencing issues today…some users are unable to login, other users will send messages that are never received by the intended recipients and some users are unable to receive messages at all. \*

I signed on fine this morning and I’m still online. Maybe it’s just where you are?

I’m the next state over from the OP and I’ve been on all day without a problem too. Odd. Maybe it’s storm related?
