170151 2003-08-24 10:34:00 ok so i have trillian set up and have for ages and occasionally (much more lately) i get messages from other people while they are talking to others..... not actually me and its almost like they dont see me when i tell them this...

its like im connected but am just a watcher not actually taking part...
i can only see one side of the conversation so its really weird them having a conversation by themselves...

any ideas why its doing this?
how can i fix it cos it drives me nutty... ive always got something coming up on screen when online from other peoples conversations, and it goes on and on even when i close the message box within the next reply from that person it comes back....
i could get some interesting gossip this way i guess but also does that mean im being seen when i am messaging to?

stumped

170152 2003-08-24 11:09:00 Spooky.

Do you know what brand of instant messenger the others are using?,i do recall ms saying that they were going to block Trillions access to there chat servers,slthough i dont know if that has come into effect or if it could be related.

170154 2003-08-24 11:17:00 I would suggest that you try using Yahoo messenger for a while instead of Trillian to see if the problem is actually Trillian's fault, or whether someone is playing games with you. ;-) Fire-and-Ice (3910)
170155 2003-08-24 11:22:00 In Trillian under Options / Preferences, check what privacy settings you have on for Yahoo. Is there an option to only receive messages from people in your contact list? Jen C (20)
170156 2003-08-24 11:38:00 jen c it appears not to have that setting . . . .

and also this has only just recently happened and i have had trillian for ages now .

and yes i will try the yahoo only thing thanxs .

If you are having trouble with Trillian, your best bet is to drop into the Community Forums and Search for your problem. If you still can't find an answer, post a message in the General Technical Support section of the forums.


Sounds like good advice to me,heres there url

170158 2003-08-24 12:45:00 been there but dont know the key words to explain what is going on in my puter to say i want this bit . . explained to me please . . . .

had a read of some of the posts but none seem to relate to my query . . . or fixit problem . . .


and apparently the main contact this is happening to is not getting any of my messages through yahoo but all systems seems to work on other contacts and msn ok . . . . so the go is?

thanxs Metla

170159 2003-08-24 12:48:00 You'll probably find that it is someone inviting you to join a conversation.

MSN and Yahoo both support similar things whereby you can have three or above people chatting in a conversation.

This will open a new window allowing you to watch people chatting or join in.

170160 2003-08-24 22:51:00 WTF have found that even when type something in they are not getting my messages.... so it cant be a invite as it doesnt tell me that either.???

and my contact (one of the main box pop ups) has deleted me... and
we are starting afresh.... and see if that helps.....

otherwise i have no idea how to fix it.
