I tried sending you a reply over Odigo, but it says you cant receive messages. You may need to check something…dont ask me what, but something :). Maybe contact Tech support?

So kiddies, if you dont get replies from fellow dopers over Odigo, that may be the problem.

And here I was just sobbing away cause I thought you didn’t wub me. 😉 It’s okay, though, I sent the boys away today so I could clean and I really should hop to it.

Right now, I’m giving Odigo a one week trial to see how it works. Has anyone had problems with it? Coldy said it messed up his computer.

Hmmm, maybe it’s because I was on visible only to friends? I don’t want every tom, dick and harry sending me messages, so we’ll have to work out a way around that. Perhaps if we send friend requests to the people we want to chat with first? I’ll write tech support and see.

So, someone actually tried it hmm? 😉  
The only problem I’ve had is getting some of the menus to respond properly. If I hover the mouse over something, say, it won’t pop up a new menu sometimes. Other than that, it has worked like a charm. I even have odigo open sometimes with another AIM account open on AIM and they both work fine.

I just want to day that this is the greatest MPSIMS thead title of all time. The possibilities for sequential thread titles is awesome!

So far I’ve seen “There’s a special room in hell for” “Tatertot!” and “How does Superman shave?” “Tatertot!”

I’m going to be bumping this baby for weeks!

It seems to be working now. The only problem that I’m having now is that ICQ users in “private” mode don’t seem to be visable to me. I can’t tell that they are on-line unless they IM me first.

I told MisterTot about it and he demanded I install it. For some reason he objects to me running three IM programs at once. If this works, it will be really handy.

Ahem. This is where you are supposed to say: and named after the greatest MPSIMS poster of all time! 😉
