Great!
December 12th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Great … how can we find out what was fixed?
December 12th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
your work is highly appreciated.. Please Please please allow us to restore closed conferences.. or give us the ability like “Recent” tab at Skype.. right now i can’t use Trillian because of it.
December 12th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Nice! @Barry: Click on Changelog in the Build description
December 12th, 2011 at 1:31 pm
I would like to state that the Auto-Hide feature does not work. Is this a bug or am i missing something.
December 12th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Thank you so, so much for the new preview preference option. I feel like I can start recommending Trillian again!
December 12th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Jabber/XMPP reconnecting
December 12th, 2011 at 1:43 pm
You have to click on changelog, then the change log opens.
December 12th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Still no skype dial pad window for outgoing calls
December 12th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
@Scream81 … thanks … ultra-tiny type is too small for easy use by over-40 year old eyes. I’ll bet the web page composer isn’t over 40.

Google has added a feature to secure email access to it’s users by texting a code to your phone or emailing that code to an alternate email address in order to proceed with Google email verification? Now that this is in place, Google Talk (messenger) won’t work after I enter my password. Believe me that I’m entering the correct password and it won’t work. Any ideas around this? Anyone? help!
December 12th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
still no spell check. why?
December 12th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
Nice update.
@Barry Glasses help, or change the browser settings so you can see. Site design doesn’t matter you have the tools already at your disposal.
December 12th, 2011 at 2:11 pm
@Barry check out the firefox extension “nosquint”, it’s incredible for things like this
December 12th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
@Barry Try pressing Ctrl and the “+” symbol at the same time. That should enlarge everything on the page. Ctrl and “-” will do the opposite. Works on every site and browser pretty much.
December 12th, 2011 at 2:52 pm
it’s great to see bugs are being fixed, but it would be even better to have fixed some bugs reported 2 years ago…
December 12th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
@George If you are talking about 2-step verification, Google will allow you to generate an application-specific password that you can enter into Trillian.
December 12th, 2011 at 2:54 pm
@Fareed A. Hameed can you try dragging the contact list past the edge of the screen? dragging it to the edge (where it may click) is not enough; you need to bring it even further for auto-hide to engage.
December 12th, 2011 at 4:26 pm
Please add the playscript message style again… Why you got rid of it I don’t know
December 12th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
Would be nice if we can get back FULL preview of emails, not just the first 2 or 3 lines.
December 12th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
@shaunj66 you can find playscript and alot of other message styles here: http://developer.ceruleanstudios.com/index.php/Chatviews
December 12th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
Is there any way we can have the skype messenger running without actually having skype running?
December 12th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
Sending ‘/t test’ to someone (over AIM at least), followed by anything else crashes Trillian.
December 12th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Sometimes, when changing window to single chat to multichat, tabs doesnt work ultil remove or detach new chat tab
December 12th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
When will you add Zune support for “set status to what I’m listening to”?
December 12th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
…and by crashes I meant it did in build 15. Was that a debug switch or something?
December 12th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
Is msn over http:443 working ?? hope so
December 12th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
After the update all my accounts are offline ???
And when I try to reconnect they still are offline.
Is there something that must be configured?
December 12th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
I would like to state that the Auto-Hide feature does not work. but the best program of mesages of net
December 12th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Why is it that when I hover over the system tray icon with my mouse I get a two inch square box with my account info flashing on and off? This has only occured since two updates ago.
December 12th, 2011 at 8:22 pm
i have fail : crash. Can u help me T.T
December 12th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
fail in crash for facebook
December 12th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Change log you say – where might that be?
December 12th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Secure ICQ gone?
December 12th, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Scott, my enduring thanks for fixing the XMPP/Livejournal issue. Was glad to be the ‘tester’ for each tweak until the right one was found.
December 12th, 2011 at 9:38 pm
Hopefully this new fix will now allow me to accept people to my contact list….I am or was only able to add people….yes, i even checked my settings and it still made no difference.
December 12th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I need the hability to copy email address or ID from a contact, there are noy easy way to do that
December 12th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
now my trillian works good after u have fixed
December 12th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
where is the change log at?
December 12th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
on windows vista, the preview when hovering over the taskbar icon blinks on and off when the taskbar is set to auto-hide. this does not happen when it is set to not auto-hide but I very much prefer auto-hiding my taskbar.
December 13th, 2011 at 12:42 am
Any plans on adding skype video support to trillian? I still see no menu option to make a video-call.
December 13th, 2011 at 2:25 am
Great, thanks guys
December 13th, 2011 at 3:01 am
Thanks for oscar online time !
December 13th, 2011 at 3:07 am
I really like the update.its simple, easy and specifically suit its features. well done
December 13th, 2011 at 3:37 am
When is Google+ coming to Trillian ????
December 13th, 2011 at 3:53 am
Hello how can someone send a web cam if you re chatting with someone and if that feature is not there i wish trillian can fix that
December 13th, 2011 at 4:25 am
I gotta say the pre fix build is really unstable and stops responding a lot, wasting a lot of my time, as it slows my pc – i hope this is what you fixed!
December 13th, 2011 at 4:39 am
Thank you for bringing back online time in tooltips, I missed this a lot! I also appreciate that I can hide the youtube previews in message. Excelent work!
December 13th, 2011 at 4:40 am
The copying from previous messages still is clunky
December 13th, 2011 at 4:46 am
Seems that sending an url to somebody over icq has some problems. My configuration was newest trillian on icq to an buddy with the current miranda on icq.
December 13th, 2011 at 5:06 am
No info whether the SecureIM option is back in this build, so I suppose it is not back? I’ve to decline the update then. Bad idea to remove that option, seriously. It was one of the reasons I once bought Trillian. Still disappointed.
December 13th, 2011 at 5:21 am
13448 Kevin Kurtz FIXED [Preferences] Option to disable youtube/web previews
THANK YOU!
December 13th, 2011 at 5:33 am
Hi Scott, where exactly did you fix skype mass messaging? When I mass message my contacts, the moment I press enter, the chat window dissappears. So the problem seems to persist…
Regards,
December 13th, 2011 at 5:40 am
Whats about the google Hangout? The chat is working but when will we be able to use the videochat too?
December 13th, 2011 at 6:30 am
Is there a way to “participate in a conference call” command like in skype ? Also, would be nice to have “group contact” saved in trillian like “group contact” in skype
December 13th, 2011 at 7:00 am
Have a big problem about file transfer from msn to trillian
December 13th, 2011 at 7:39 am
That’s quite a lot of fixes, I expected something minor. Thanks, guys, great job!
December 13th, 2011 at 9:08 am
Oh – not so good: Crashes on start-up after asking permission to connect to Facebook.
December 13th, 2011 at 9:31 am
Could you add a little Mac version status update as well?
December 13th, 2011 at 9:46 am
Why can’t I copy messages from the conversation window?
December 13th, 2011 at 9:57 am
@Barry Demchak just click on the Changelog Link…
December 13th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
Mhh, instead of repairing any, it actually caused ICQ HTML issues, damn…
December 13th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
%name% and %medium% variables not working properly with Skype contacts.
Thanks always.
December 13th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
What do I need to do to have my e-mail contacts again listed under contacts as they used to be. I have uninstalled and reinstalled as was one suggestion but I still do not have a visual contact list.
December 13th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
I’m really looking forward to using the newer version. Fewer crashes mean I get more IMs and calls from buddies
The previous version would occasionally crash though I do remember when I first started using Trillian (back when the domain name was trillian.cc), Trillian never crashed at all!
December 14th, 2011 at 4:14 am
When you block a contact in Gmail Trillian, it is impossible to unlock without going directly through Google / Gmail. Other than that, it’s a great application, continue:)

December 14th, 2011 at 4:32 am
Workaroud for QIP scenarios – really great!
December 14th, 2011 at 8:30 am
Nope. Still cannot connect to any of my instant messaging services via the client, only via the web.
December 14th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Google keeps telling me my password is incorrect (is not!). Also, spellchecker please!
December 15th, 2011 at 12:13 am

December 15th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
I have a weird bug to report. I am getting a black border with a empty white space with any emoticons that are used.
December 15th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
@AJM…. AWESOME… Woooooohoooooo.. Thanks Mayte
December 15th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Awesome…as usual.
December 16th, 2011 at 1:15 am
File transfers still not working over MSN. Sending pops up a dialog for sender but not recipient.. Otherwise nice software. Not even considering buying before basic stuff like this is fixed though.
December 16th, 2011 at 4:32 am
I am not going to update as well because without SecureIM Trillian is no option for me anymore. I am deeply disappointed by old functionaly removed without any alternatives added.
December 16th, 2011 at 12:07 pm
thats cooooooooooooooooooool! i have never seen this program before:D tnXXxxxx>>>>:D
December 16th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
Great work on the fixes, I didn’t get the exact count, but looked to be a long-listed changelog (bug fixes) and in only about 1 month’s time. Great work to all on the team!!! Keep up the efforts and know that your hard work is appreciated by us simpletons (endusers
December 19th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
What is build 17? I don’t get it as an update but when you click the download button on the main page of trillian you’ll download buil 17 not 16.
December 20th, 2011 at 6:16 am
Bug Report: Msn small file transfer work only on second try..if you’re lucky xD
December 23rd, 2011 at 4:36 am
Hallo Liebes Trillian Team,
ich bin von eurem Programm (Trillian Messenger) echt sehr begeistert.
Doch es wäre schön wenn auch mal daran gedacht werden würde das Programm und den Support (Website) komplett in Deutsch zu machen.
Da ich und viele meiner Bekannten nicht so gut in Englisch sind und alles verstehen. Wäre die Benutzung in Deutsch viel einfacher.
Ausserdem habe ich das Problem das sich die Zugriffssteuerung bei Skype nicht einrichten lässt, es müsste doch möglich sein die Zugriffssteuerung mit einem Klick für Skype zu aktivieren so das Skype fragt soll die Zugriffssteuerung für Trillian aktiviert werden.
Wenn sie sich darum mal kümmern würden es möglich zu machen wäre es sehr gut.
Vielen Dank im Voraus und ein Schönes Weihnachtsfest und ein gutes neues Jahr.
Wünscht Sir Thommy
P.S. Antwort bitte in Deutsch.
Danke.
