Trillian 5 for Windows Public Beta!


Recommended Posts

Ha, awesome... I read that post and thought I remember Trillian having spellcheck (purchased Astra, but haven't used heavily since 3.1)... thanks for the link Neobond.

Hm... It looks nice, I do like it. And the syncing of chats was something I wanted from the Astra Alpha, so when they get that working it will be really great. There do seem to be some odd usability choices though. Hopefully they'll hammer out some of the quirks in the Beta...

Yeah, it does. In Astra it caused some weird flickering issues for me with the text... Hopefully that will not be the case for Trillian 5 (I didn't have the flickering problems until 4.1 IIRC)... It was annoying enough that I disabled it.

Hi this is a really great piece of software.

But does anyone know how to keep the Facebook and Twitter icons hidden. Normally they are until I open them from Trillian. Once I close the window they stay on the taskbar.

EDIT

I realised that if you hover over them they appear ^^

awesome, why is this the first i've heard of this plugin lol

The plugin system needs a lot of work. Hopefully that's in the plans for Trillian 5... The last version of that plugin was released in 2007 though and in my experience caused problems in Astra. Not sure about Trillian 5, I might try it later.

What kind of problems? I used it with astra as well and did not seem to have any sort of problems with it at all.

Anyone know when there will be an update?

They are usually pretty good about putting out updates. Seeing multiple in a month is not uncommon (on the Windows platform, anyway; the others are slower). Maybe they are working on some bigger changes that are taking longer.

Damnnn loving this program, just switched from WLM.

2 questions:

1. Any way to disable notifications for certain networks? I don't want sign-on notifications for FB Chat. edit: found out, it's in the last options tab in fb settings.

2. Any way to get rid of that [email protected] connecting to [email protected] in your chat windows (might only be applicable for WLM)?

The text entry box fickered with each key press, resized oddly, and in some cases froze. It was very annoying. It started with 4.1 I believe. There's another spell checker that someone pointed me to that does work though and was developed by Cerulean Studios. The ASpell one though had a lot of problems for me.

Can you provide a link?

I love the GUI, but I cant use it since it seems none of my contacts see the files i try to send them and also no video chat for me is a no-no.

Webcam support would be really nice, and I agree it is an area they have really been slacking. It is one of the last "big" features that trillian really needs, and I think we will see it at some point in the 5.x development cycle for this reason. Anyway, it is not a deal-breaker for me. I think T5 is the best all-around IM client on Windows for the time being.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
