    Anyone else having issues with iChat and AIM tonight??
    Usually when I start iChat, my AIM messenger box pops up and shows my buddies under the various headings (Family, etc.).
    Tonight, the AIM box pops up, but none of the headings nor my buddies are showing. Whats up with that??
    Help! :(

    I have had no issues with mine. Sometimes on my old pc I used to get that error with using straight aim. I can not remember how I ususally got around it.

    I had an issue with one of my screennames not being able to connect to server. Doing AIM express, I got the same results.

    This was pidgin, AIM and aim express. I think it's a problem with AIM service itself.
