I've been using Pidgin for weeks to connect to AIM. Starting this afternoon,
when I try to login to my AIM account, I get:
AOL does not allow your screen name to authenticate here
Any idea why I am getting this? I've looked on the AIM support community with
no luck.
Thanks,
Peter
1) What version of pidgin?
2) Does it work with the standard AOL/AIM client?

AOL seems to be requiring users to either agree to new terms of
service, update some info about themselves, or both. Signing into
http://www.aim.com/ will probably fix this.
See http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/14308 for more discussion.
