[outages] ICQ: Blocking third-party clients

[Keegan.Holley at sungard.com]

I think this only has to do with the version of ICQ the client emulates. 
For example Adium version 1.2.5 emulates a version that is actually too 
old and will not work.  So I updated to 1.2.6 which was released yesterday 
(YMMV) and was able to login without any issues.  I think there is also an 
older Adium client that works maybe 1.12 or so.  Also, is this really an 
outage??

[outages] ICQ: Blocking third-party clients






According to an ICQ.com forum thread, linked to by Slashdot, ICQ has
reportedly started blocking third-party chat clients, such as pidgin.

Users receive a message telling them their "client version is too old".

No further to date.
