Phoenix - Chat Like It's 1999

I'm trying to connect to the server using AIM 4.7 on Mac OS 9, but even though I have the server set up properly, and I'm positive that I'm typing in my screenname and password correctly, but every time I try and log in, it says that my screenname or password is incorrect.

Just a girl bumbling into the new millenium. Wherever it takes me, I'll figure it out.

AlexInWonderland	[Quote] Ah, I do have a non-alphanumeric character in my password, so that may be it. Let me change that and see if it works! EDIT: Nope, no such luck. I changed my password so that it's only alphanumeric, but that didn't change anything. :( Just a girl bumbling into the new millenium. Wherever it takes me, I'll figure it out.

Wildman Beta Tester	[Quote] there is no proxy in use. I know that versions of the classic mac client have been tested to work.. Hououin - your friendly neighborhood AIM server operator
