4.7 AIM Problem

[smithlauren84]

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I've downloaded the 4.7 AIM version for Mac, but am having some problems with it. Every time I sign on AIM it appears that I am online but my IMs don't go through and it appears to my buddies that I'm offline. It's getting to be quite frustrating and I was wondering if someone could help me out with this. Thanks so much!

iChat is AIM-compatible. Just use that.

Another much better than original AIM alternative is Adium. You can use all the messengers in one application (and it's free)
