Description (Last modified by boredzo)

The developers are aware of this problem and ask you to please not comment unless you have new information to add. We appreciate your interest, but a thousand comments saying “Same here” are not helpful. Thank you. —The management

I can not connect because my "ICQ Client is too old". I've attached a screenshot of the error message. Here the translation into English:

"(ICQ) Error: The Client-Version which you are yousing is too old. Please update under: http://pidgin.im/"

I'm using the Adium 1.3 Beta and Mac OS X 10.4.11. I'm using MSN parallel to ICQ.

Other questions?

Same thing here!
If the ICQ Protocol version libpurple supports is too outdated, this is gonna be a serious problem!

07/01/2008 12:19:09 PM changed by cowgirl99

the same here Adium 1.2.5, OSX 10.5.3

07/01/2008 12:27:51 PM changed by homa2001

Same. Adium 1.2.5 OSX 15.2

07/01/2008 12:29:56 PM changed by mike330r

Same issue. Hope there is a simple fix!

I'm having the same problem. I tried to upgrade from 1.2.5 to 1.3 Beta5 to no avail. I've also posted to ICQ forums: http://www.icq.com/forums/index.php?act=view_topic&group_id=400&topic_id=176034&forum_page=1 and apparently people are having problems with all kind of clients: Pidgin, etc. It seems as a server-side snafu.

is there any help for this trouble? it's damn uncomfortable. i think it's not with all non-icq clients - i can sign in from Proteus without any troubles, but Adium is definitely better.

07/01/2008 02:26:12 PM changed by eoys

same with mine (Adium 1.2.5, OSX Leopard). ICQ also forced every windows-ICQ 5.1 user to upgrade. None of them can log in without using ICQ 6.

They have to make libPurple fake the protocol version it supports. Let's hope they make it quick.

07/01/2008 03:18:47 PM changed by tomte

same here : adium 1.2.5 - Mac OS X 10.5.4 the error is : The client version you are using is too old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/

07/01/2008 03:23:40 PM changed by Swordmaster

http://pidgin.im/ - troubles again, "Safari could not open the page “http://pidgin.im/” because the server stopped responding."

semi-off topic hint for those who „need” ICQ: iChat still works with it.

07/01/2008 04:43:06 PM changed by eoys

Proteus works with ICQ, too. It's an acceptable alternative for adium

Can someone explain it for dummies how to fix this? I am on a Mac and it looks like pidgin is not for Mac.

Am I not able to use Adium anymore?
