Re: Needs work
from my experience it's not my code but firetalk which has problems... it seems to have problems with random usernames... the user can not recieve or send IM's but is online. The buddylist only displays people online according to AOL's buddylist for you. Whether uploading of the buddylist works i dont know... i've had it work before.. and some times not. Most of the problems appear to be firetalk.. which i didnt write...

Needs work
It looks like a promising client.
I will be glad to use this if it gets better, i'm certainly tired of naim.
It took me a while to even log in to aim.
After that adding people to my buddy list did not work.
My brother could not message me even though I was online according to ntaim.
