AIM won't connect to GChat?
-
For the most part my AIM account has always logged into my Gmail chat account. Recently, (these past two days), my AIM won't log in. Instead it says, Unable to connect to AIM, retrying... but it never works. Is anyone else having this problem? Could it be a server issue? Or does this have to do with "aim: Gmail is making significant changes to the way you connect to your friends on AIM. For information on how this will affect you, visit our post at http://www.aim.com/google-chat-changes " this message that I received about a week ago? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really would like to keep in touch with people on AIM. (:

Answer:
I am experiencing the same problem! Today my AIM wasn't loading onto my gmail account at all. I figured out a way to add my AIM friends on my Gmail Buddy list. On the side bar where you see your Gmail Buddy list there is a space that says "search, add, or invite".. you have to type your friends AOL screen name on there. For examble if your friends screen name is "JonSmith123" you would type "[email protected]", then a tab next to it should pop up saying "mail, invite to chat, show in chat list, view recent conversations, and view JonSmith123 profile" (columnized). You can either then click on "invite to chat, or show in chat list" you should then see your AIM friend's screen name on your Gmail Buddy list. This is a temporary solution to chat with your friends on your Gmail. I am pretty sure Gmail is doing some maintenance because when i logged in today i saw all sorts of new features. So hopefully once they get things going our AIM accounts will once again automatically log in to the Gmail chat account. Hope this helps :)

some times gmail does that...and some of their services might become u available for a little time. It's probably under maintenance or something :)
They are changing the way it works, and if I am not mistaken you will not be able to connect like we use to be able to. Unfortunately other than that page you listed it does not give us much help as to how or when we will be able to connect in some way.
