Trillian problem

I had a friend over today, and he wanted to check his AIM screenname and see if anyone was online. So I let him do so, but now every time I log onto MY Aim account I keep importting his buddy list every time I delete it and reconnect it. no clue on how to fix it, any help would be appreciated.

Next time, you have to make a new profile for him, or make him use aim-express. Trillian automatically combines buddy lists from different accounts. I'm not sure there's a way to fix this besides manually removing all his contacts.

Happened to my MSN account. I now have well over a thousand contacts, and about 95% are blocked.

Yeah thats why I tend to shy away from Trillian... there are little bugs in it like this.

This is assuming you haven't already played with the Connection Manager.

First of all, Trillian is probably running both your account and his at the same time. It can do that. So the first thing to do is to shut his down. Log in normally, then right click on the AIM icon select his username and tell it to "Remove Connection". This should make everything to do with his account dissapear.

Next, right click on the AIM icon again, and go to "Connection Manager". Select his account from the list, and click the button that says "Remove account from Trillian".

That should fix it. I think. That would be the first thing I'd try.

You could always try the next obvious thing of uninstalling and then reinstalling.

This is the reason I don't let my friends check their screennames when they come over. Not because it screws up Trillian, but because it ends up being a hassle, and unless you stand and look over their shoulder, you don't know what they're doing to your computer.

It's weird though, because I was pretty damned sure what I said would work...
