Buddy List Lost!?
Is anyone having serious problems with AIM today? I am using AIM 4.8.2790 with AIM+ 2.21 and first, I rebooted my computer and when I signed back on, my buddy list was gone. Then I finally restored to an old back up I had. So now I started adding names my backup didn't have. Then came the bigger problem. As I would add a name, when I switched back to the Online view, the new buddies I just added disappeared! I would go back to the Setup and the names would not be in the list. Anyone else having problems? Anyone know what is going on? Please reply ASAP!

Sometime early afternoon and into the evening / night, AOL was having problems with their servers. Not only did it happen to you, it happened to me and a lot of my friends as well. When you recieve the error of your buddy list not loading but it's not lost.. don't panic. Do exactly as the error states -- Try Again Later. There is no need to load a previous version as you did. The buddy lists are stored on the AOL servers, once they fix the problem... your problems will be fixed as well
Yea, a lot of my friends had that problem last night...luckily I didn't. But as of this morning I think everythings back to normal.

I had that problem with my main screen name last night. It kind of suck that I could not use my normal screen name but I found out that if I switch temporale over to my very old sn TJH119 it normal can get it buddy list and since it a complete dupicat of my Timelessblur one it really easy for me to copy stuff (and right now i keep it very up to date after what happen to my TImelessblurr screen name because i lost a few screen names that i have trouble putting back onto my buddy list

Problems
I got my buddy list back, also, this morning.. but did anyone else have the problem where they couldn't even add names to their list? It was the wierdest thing. I would add a name in List Setup view then switch back to Online view and I could actually see the group decrease in size by one number as it deleted the name I just added.

Silly AIM servers spazzing out again ... I'm glad everything is back to normal for everyone. At least nobody tried to blame AIM+ this time around, usually that's where the fingers get pointed first when something starts to go screwy!
