why all this criticizing about updates? - Version: 4.16, 1/2/2008 05:06AM PST

I don't understand why everybody is criticizing about Proteus updates. I use updates for centuries and never had a problem. I tried Audium etc but i like Proteus the most.
I hate when there are numerous and meaningless updates for apps.
Proteus is always my choice and never liked other apps (maybe only for the look).
The only issue was "joining" conversations with multiple persons but I was ok.
I hope these guys continue updating whenever they really have something to offer and not just to "remind" us that they are "alive".

Sorry, but this group promised the world and delivered zero. The time lapse between this release and the previous, place it dead last. Adium rules this world as well it should for its constant revisions and added feature sets.
I was a licensed user of Proteus, and it was once one of the better ones, but those days are long gone.

Just the intel compatibility...?! - Version: 4.13 Beta, 8/1/2006 11:38PM PST

I've payed for it anyway, still running a G4 Powerbook...so I think I'll pass on this update until they actually include a few improvements and/or new features...!
It's still one of the best multimessenger apps out there, though...! And I'm sure many owners of intel-based Macs have been waiting for this...
Won't Run on Intel - Version: 4.12, 7/28/2006 09:15AM PST

I payed for Proteus long before it became free. I loved the program (and to a small degree still do).
I recently got a MacBook & today tried to use Proteus on it. Proteus crashes out before it finishes loading. In other words it's completely incompatible on Intel systems... Oh well, guess it's time to find a new client...

Proteus, Proteus, wherefore art thou Proteus support ??
What the hell happened to what was once a great piece of software ??
It was bought by a company from a young chap [who went on to work for Apple] and has been made free, and apparently forgotten by the new owners.
Wake up owners - making something free is not an excuse to forget about it and consign it's support to the "maybe we'll work on it, if we can be bothered" pile !!
Just my thruppence worth

ICQ functionality seriously flawed - Version: 4.12, 4/26/2006 09:15AM PST

Basically, I refuse to use the Proteus for a simple reason. The ICQ "add to the list" spamming that's going on for quite some time has revealed a FLAW in ICQ functionality of Proteus. Although I have refused to accept any messages from unknown contacts, it keeps allowing the "add to list" spma to come through and I'm CHOKED by as much as 20-30 such messages every day that I have to cancel out of manually. Waitinig for the developer quite apparently makes no sense since this problem has been reported a long time ago. So, adieu Proteus...maybe some other time, some other place...
Questionable support for Intel Macs - Version: 4.12, 3/20/2006 02:18PM PST

Installed Proteus on my MacBook Pro and it doesn't even start up. A brand new intall and I'm even a paying customer, who's a bit PO'd that it's now free and no support really for it.
I'd really appreciate any comments from the developer why it doesn't work at all... at least it should work in Rosetta, but no go.

Also, when I tried to set up my jabber account with Proteus, I kept failing until finally I noticed that it was necessary to open another tab to enter the host name for my account. I had thought that it was implicit in my account name (user@host).
Bottom line: Adium is still my chat client of choice for MacOS
