    During a chat session with AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, ICQ, & LJ chat (livejournal's jabber) connected I primarily use AIM.   Very frequently during its use I will find that no one is replying to me on AIM. I have come to discover that GAIM seems to be pretending to have maintained its connection to AIM.  When I message a bot like Smarterchild I get no reply just the same as I don't get an away message when I message someone who is away.  The only way I can receive and send messages again is if I log-off AIM and log back on and even then it's very temporary.

    I've seen similar complaints in these forums of this in MSN (and I believe AIM) with no answers or possible explanations.

    Ubuntu Edgy, GAIM 2beta6, the debugging window doesn't catch anything I recognize as being important even if I knew the exact moment I lost the connection.

      Sorry about the same thing being posted twice.  Firefox crashed then re-posted it on its own.
