Anyone lose their AIM buddy list????

[STooK]

So I've been using the old AIM (like version 4.3 or something) because the new ones are trash and it seems like they're trying wayyy too hard and the last couple days I kept getting a pop up saying I will no longer be able to use this version but I just kept ignoring it. So today I sign in, and my entire buddy list is gone. I thought if I got the new one it'll come back, but even after the new version I'm missing my entire 200+ buddies. Is there a way to retrieve it back? Did this happen to anyone else?

I have whatever the latest one is and when i signed on today everything was gone, but then I signed off and signed back on again and everything was there.

Just wait a while, it happened to me and I tried everything to get it back: upgrading, signing on/off, even rebooting to no avail. Waited an hour later and it was back.

Yea, and then i signed out and signed back in... and BAM they were back

I can't even sign on. It says something about a proxy server blah blah. I don't know.

thanks guys, just restarted aim and boom, it's back!

i hate the new aim though...why do they have to make everything so big? takes up so much room on my screen...

It happened to a lot of people. Or at least 6 people I know via LJ & Twitter.

I remember I had like 200 buddies.. I deleted more than half of them when I realized I only talk to like 20 of them
