ICQ: Blocking third-party clients
According to an ICQ.com forum thread, linked to by Slashdot, ICQ has reportedly started blocking third-party chat clients, such as pidgin. Users receive a message telling them their "client version is too old".

I would think that anything that causes end users to call the support desk because they can't connect is considered an "outage".

I don't think ICQ is blocking anything, because I'm connected from Adium and it redirects me to the Pidgin website to get a "new version" of the software. I think it's more of a need for the IM client guys to update their crap to the newer ICQ protocol version. -Daniel On Jul 2, 2008, at 11:22 AM, Andrew Cruse wrote:

I updated my pidgin client to the latest release and haven't had any issues connecting.

I think this only has to do with the version of ICQ the client emulates. For example Adium version 1.2.5 emulates a version that is actually too old and will not work. So I updated to 1.2.6 which was released yesterday (YMMV) and was able to login without any issues. I think there is also an older Adium client that works maybe 1.12 or so. Also, is this really an outage?? Keegan Holley ? Network Engineer I ? SunGard Availability Services ? 401 North Broad St. Philadelphia, PA 19108 ?
