aaah! After a very enthusiastic start I have to admit that I don't know how to find you!! I tried putting your numbers in the web and people search then clicking go but I didn't get any results. I'm quite new to ICQ. How do I locate you by your number? I don't actually know what my ICQ number is either!! Help please!! Emmie

There's usually a fairly decent "Add User" wizard somewhere on on the ICQ control panel... just follow the instructions...

Emmie, the add user that Sean mentioned does work well but if any of us are going to be able to find you, I think we will need a little more than em - there are loads of "em's". What is your ICQ number? If you load ICQ, you should see your number at the top of the window.

ICQ (sorta means "I seek you") is an online, cross-platform chat program. What THAT means is that by running the program, you can chat with others online as long as you know their numbers. If you'd like to try, go to this site for a free copy.

One caveat... always keep your security settings on "high"...

Muse...

when you are online with ICQ it will show you if others on your list are online too... you can send messages back an gorth... but you can also invite them into a chat room or they can invite you.....

add some of us to your list..... you will see a box marked "add users" about 3 lines up from the bottom of the box that tells you who is online.... insert any of the numbers from up above....... or better still tell me your number and I'll contact you....

Dear Folks,

I used to use a friend's computer, and I used icq on that. Here on my own setup, I have aol as my server, and aol furnishes my browser, too. When I tried the blue clicky thing above, my address box only showed icq's url for a moment, then it changed to some aol homepage. I lost my connection to mudcat, as well as being unable to get icq. Was this probably just an accident, or is this something that AOL just DOES, cause it doesn't want people to use other services similiar to its own?

I can chat with people on my aol buddy list, but I can only have other aol members on there. I have been thinking about switching to another ISP. Have other people gone through frustrations with aol? Did you switch, or stay with them?

Yes, MaryMac, I quit using them for just this reason. A lot of bells and whistles that you pay for and don't use often. I prefer a barebones ISP. Mine costs me $15.00 US per month, I get a webpage, and unlimited time and email. It works very well. And takes up a lot less disk space.

And may I add that I am very pleased that you have joined us in the best little cyber village on the planet. I love your enthusiasm. Please contribute to the threads on a regular basis, we are better for your presence.

All the best,

I was an AOhoLd user for 2 months... soon realized that the convenience factor was heavily overwhelmed by the annoyance. If you're in the States, check with both your local telephone and cable companies... they may be able to offer you net connection for the same (or less) than AOL.

Note that you can still use the AIM feature without being an AOL subscriber... so you don't have to lose your friends' connections.

Warning: Thread Creep!
I suggest that we also list our AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) names on this thread. AIM, for all it is run by AOHell, is more stable than ICQ IMHO. And I say this after all the fun and games that Jon, Alison, Jeri and I had last night trying to keep a chat-room up and stable.
Oh, for those of you who don't know, AIM can be used by non-AOL subscribers, and costs nothing. If you go to AOL's home-page and search on their site for AIM, you'll find the link where you can download it. Note that AOL requires that all names be unique, so it's highly likely that you won't have the same AIM name as your Nickname here. For instance, I am known as Doomspark on AIM. And yes, there's a story behind that also.
Feel free to send me a message, and identify yourself as coming from Mudcat.

I cannot use ICQ at work due to the firewall, but AIM does work. I can chat with my wife while she's in school (to the detriment of our collective productivity, no doubt).

Hmmm. Judging from the amount of time I've spent here today, I'm going to have to curtail my visits while I'm at work, or I'll never get anything done.

JAB, ICQ does have very limited voice facilities. You can record an send 15 seconds as a wav file to a user who is on line. It might not be a lot but I have used it. once to explain to somebody how to pronounce Llandudno, the town I live in and on seveal occasions to identify the name of a tune or to compare versions of a tune - a recent example of this was I was Little Musgrave cropped up in a conversation and we wanted to find out if we were using the same tune.

Hiya, I don't know if anyone would be interested in doing this...but it would be very convienient if someone were to create an ICQ ID called &MUDCAT and set it up to automatically accept all chat requests. this would serve as a chat room for mudcatters. It would have to be someone that is online a lot, and doesn't mind leaving ICQ running.

I understand that most people, myself included couldn't do this.

Mulligan, I don't know exactly what is involved in running that sort of chat room except to say that I for one am not able to be online all of the time.

As far as I am aware, Max is still interested in developing his own Mudcat chat room. My feeling is to wait and see what happens here before trying to set something like that up and assuming it does happen, that has to be the best solution as far as I'm concerned.

there are only a few people who have the problem when there are more than 2 people in the room.... I have suggested they contact ICQ...

we did have an @mudcat room... which worked for a while (off and on).. then one day it mysteriously turned into @sex.... true story (honest),,,, I had some fun trying to convince them that it had been a folk music discussion the day before, (there is an old thread on this if anyone wants to look it up)..... they asked me to sing a song.. so I did "maids when you're young"... *grin*

Is started another room called folk music #46015364.... it is still there.. but it requires me to be online all the time and I'm not.......

the best idea is still to go online on the hour.. and lurk.. see if someone else turns up.....
