shush you

you do have nicknames. that should be asked during setup.
and to message someone there is a buttons that says message. you type the persons name in and type your message and send it to them. once you have sent them that message and the respond, in the message box there is an option to add buddy.

That is way too many fecking hoops to jump through, why don't all you just get MSNMSG or ICQ...I can use those.

I never heard of "Other" county in England Consilium?

What part you at?

Oh yeah, and I created a name shortly after I posted, PCStats Zaltec, cos I thought there wus some sort of group or summat.

I personally use AIM, ICQ, MSN, and IRC. All work pretty well and all are quite simple. Although I can handle ICQ, it bothers me frequently. If it cannot connect (2003 v) it just keeps reminding me and keeps coming over my current work/play with a message, which is a real pisser. AIM is good if you use AIM+ which is a wrapper by Big-O-Software that logs all conversations, strips out ads, and allows windows 2000/xp transparency plus some other stuff. You need to use a version of AIM earlier than 5. I use version 4.something rather because it doensn't have AIM today and it uses a better interface than 5. In 4.something rather you can add buddies by clicking the buddies tab (or something like that). Good luck.
