Gaim problem, againnnnnnnnn

[deadly7]

Why does Gaim feel it necessary to boot me off every twenty-four hours I'm online? It boots me off MSN & Yahoo! messenger..  AIM just disconnects whenever.

[Joe]

Version?

[Newby]

I get disconnected randomly too. Suck it up.

[Chavo]

Same, but uh, why does it matter when it automatically reconnects?

[Lobo]

I use to have this problem alot, but lately it's been working fine.

[Sidoh]

There needs to be an option to "silently" reconnect.  I'm not sure that there isn't one, but I sure haven't found it yet.  I'm suggesting that when disconnected, it just reconnects again (if the password is saved).

[deadly7]

I don't save my passwords.. Should I start doing that so I don't have to type it in? :P

[iago]

If you're on Windows, I strongly recommend *NOT* saving your passwords.  By default, other users can view Gaim's encryption files.  On *any* program you install, if it saves your password, it can be retrieved by other users unless you specifically lock/encrypt your files. 

[Joe]

unless you specifically lock/encrypt your files.

Or your PC. If I'm away from my computer for more than 5 minutes (IE: Not touching it), it goes to the screensaver, and then it prompts me for my ultra-secret-ultra-secure-uber-leetspeak password. The only way to get past that, that I know of, is to use a LiveCD linux, which nobody in my house knows how to do, so I think I'm safe. =)

[Ergot]

Bruteforce.

[iago]

Rebooting your computer, into safe mode?

Ignorance is NOT a tool you should use in security.

Haha, I have my password saved in Gaim. It's mostly due to laziness so I don't have to type my username/password everytime :).

[Krazed]

gAIM sucks. AIM client for life.

Back on topic, I fixeded it.. Newby it wasn't the servers, something fucked up at my ISP's end and they did some super hightech reboot of my 'net (actually they just restarted the modem, which I did to no avail.).
Le fixed.

Are you sure they didn't reset your DSLAM?  That's fixed my issues when they've done that at times.
