One more difficulty ..

[Angel]

Hello again Eion,
Now that I have the program running again, things 
in menus are greyed out, and buddies show as 
offline, even when we are chatting.  I cannot set 
the font face, foreground color, background 
color, etc. The default formatting under 
Preferences:Conversations shows the look I want, 
but it doesn't show in the chat window,.


And how do I get my buddies to show up as online? 
Do I have to re-establish their connection to me?


Thank you, yet again, for all your help.
Angel

To switch to the new protocol you'll need to 
edit the account and change from ICQ to ICQ (WIM).
If you're still seeing the BOS error, then 
you're using the old protocol stillÂ

Hi Eion,
I did get the message last year and did move to 
the new one. It was working fine until I closed ICQ yesterday.

Thank you for the link.  Here's what I did:
Closed Pidgin completely
Downloaded these two files to folder on desktop
libicyque.dll
libjson-glib-1.0.dll
Opened Windows Explorer
Draged libicyque.dll into C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\plugins\ folder
Draged libjson-glib-1.0.dll  to C:\Program 
Files (x86)\Pidgin\ (not plugins!) folder

Restarted Pidgin
No joy. Still getting "unable to connect to BOS server. Connection refused"
Starting "Panic Mode"!

Hi there,
You probably got a message from the ICQ 
servers near the end of last year that said 
they were shutting down the old service and 
that you'd need to move to their new 
one?  There's a new plugin that connects to 
the new protocol and replaces the existing one in Pidgin:

Cheers,
Eion

Hi!
Looked at all the old stuff, and this has 
happened before, but nothing new came up. Is there a new upgrade for this??
Pidgin was working fine until today when the 
ICQ program, resident and running on the task 
bar, got closed accidentally. Ok, I closed it. 
Forgot it had to be on. So, I get the error 
message: Unable to connect to BOS server: Connection refused.
Tried *everything* (reloading Pidgin, deleting 
Pidgin, reinstalling newest version, 
re-launching ICQ, playing with the settings in 
Pidgin, deleting account and making new -w/same settings) and ... Nada.
Under Modify Account, the server listed is 
login.icq.com,  I do not 
see it in the list of SSL servers:

api.icq.net,
api.login.icq.net
api.oscar.aol.com
api.screenname.aol.com
bos.oscar.aol.com
edit.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
and couldn't find info online to add it for myself.
So.   H E L P !!
Thank you, one and all.

Pidgin is simply repeating the message that icq.net sent.

You will need to ask icq.net's operators, but rate limiting generally
means that there have been excessive numbers of attempts to do
something, and a proportion of those are being rejected without
attempting to process them further than an immediate rejection.

Hi again,

You're more than welcome to switch to whichever messenger program you want
to use, however if you want to keep using Pidgin you can download the
IcyQue plugin from https://github.com/EionRobb/icyque
