r/trillian

When I was younger I used Trillian for everything, but as time went on, more and more IM protocols fell along the way side and new ones have taken their place. These newer message clients don't seem to be as integratable and are less user friendly.

Anyone who has Facebook Messenger installed on their phone will have noticed that Facebook is watching and listening to everything you do on your device. And that is just Facebook.

Today more than ever a universal client is needed. It could be a chance for Trillian to reemerge as useful tool. But unfortunately it looks like all development on the app has stopped. I would assume it is due to lack of resources, but it could also be a result of t

With ICQ no longer working there doesn't seem to me much point in Trillian now. No Google talk, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, AIM. I tried using FB messenger but it logged me out after five minutes and locked down my account for suspected phishing.

All I want is to be able to chat with my BFF and have easy to read and search logs. I can't make heads or tails of IRC and Jabber or how I would go about using either. I miss proper chat messengers.

I know it's still around. I still have it on my phone, but as the "old-school" messengers were discontinued, I slowly migrated exclusively to Facebook's messenger.

I understand that the newer editions such as Kik, Session and Telegram won't connect to Trillian because their owners/developers just won't allow it.

Bring me up to speed...I remember the 0.74x days with all those "letter" patches. I think they ended with the 0.74i version.

I remember when the OG blog teased Astra with the "car" blog entry which was apparently code for Coming Astra Release, or so I always thought.

I remember the blog entry "It's Raining In Brookfield."

I remember the forums with the thread where someone stuck

Not me since Google axed its third party access for its IMs. :(

Well another nail in the coffin. Now Twitter won't connect. What's up with these sites not allowing third party access anymore?!

Question is the title. Anyone else having this issue where it just attempts to connect over and over?

Messages only send intermittently and are unreliable, and google contacts don't always load when the app starts up. Any one have any idea why it is no longer working? I thought google was just finally enforcing 2 step verification but that didn't fix it when I enabled it

I wish I could write a trillian plugin to integrate it into. I think trillian and Matrix have so much in common.

What is Matrix You say ?

is an open standard for interoperable, decentralised, real-time communication over IP. It can be used to power Instant Messaging, VoIP/WebRTC signalling, Internet of Things communication - or anywhere you need a standard HTTP API for publishing and subscribing to data whilst tracking the conversation history.

Matrix defines the standard, and provides open source reference implementations of Matrix-compatible Servers, Clients, Client SDKs and Application Services to help you create new communication solutions o

Trillian sure has been down for longer than 90 to 180 minutes.

Back in early 2012 I had a Trillian IM and archived many conversations from Yahoo. It's been a long time since I've even seen these and before I stumbled on them during a stroll down memory lane digging through an old hard drive, I didn't even remember having them.

​

I remember some of the convos I had with long passed family & friends I left behind after a big move and would like to relive some of those experiences. The problem is, back then, there was a check box option I selected to make conversations 'private' or 'secret' where you had to log in to read any archived messages. Or of you uninstalled Trillian and were just left with the logs, the files would appear in ascii

I love Trillian for it's super effective chat history feature. For some reason, there's some old chats I have in Trillian Google Chat that doesn't show up in Google searches for some reason.

When I reinstall Trillian, it always "downloads" chat history from the servers. I'm assuming this is from Trillian servers, not Google. What will happen in the future when I have to reinstall Windows and reinstall Trillian? If Trillian can't log into Google Chats any longer, how can I still be able to get it to download the search history whether it's from Google or Trillian servers? Is the search history still saved in the XML files?

I am sad but ok if Trillian can never log in to Google Chats. But

My Google accounts no longer connect to Trillian. I guess it's the end.
