HOWTO: Adding Other Screennames To Your Account

[alykat]

Hi, how do you add other AIM, MSN, ICQ, etc. accounts to your already existent Trillian account?? I am running the most current free version of Trillian, and I was trying to add 2 more AIM screen names to my Trillian account, and forgot how to do it, so I would appreciate all the help I could get

Type over your existing screenname in Connection Manager. It will not remove it, but create a new one.

***A word of caution though...***

Your contacts lists for a particular medium will be merged. This is undesirable for some people, especially for MSN and Yahoo which require authorization. (See this thread for more information about that: http://trillian.cc/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35570). If you have a screenname you don't want people on another contact list to know, it would probably be better to run two instances of Trillian to keep them separate.

In 2.x, you have the option of separate (unmerged) contact lists within one instance of Trillian.
