I've tried to login with the every one of the 17 passwords that
I use, & it's still not doing it. Has my account been deleted
due to inactivity? Or is it still regged in my late younger
brother's handle 'dregby4096'?
I think this is Trillians way of saying you have to pay for sh*t
now. They won't allow the "older" free version of Trillian to work.
You have to download and pay for the latest from the app store.
To keep the servers running smoothly, we had to make some
changes. Unfortunately, those changes are not backwards compatible
with earlier builds of Trillian. Trillian 1.4 — which is
still free in the App Store — will connect fine, though
some people have had password problems that the tech support team
is sorting through. If you are on Snow Leopard and don't have
access to the App Store, you can snag http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1126110/Trillian-1.4.0.52.zip
directly as the latest non-appstore build; those are also free.
If you are on a build of Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), however,
Trillian 1.4 is not an upgrade option; Apple no longer makes it
possible to use the Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) tools to build
for Leopard and the Leopard tools no longer run on Lion (Mac OS X
10.7) or Mountain Lion. If you want to be in the App Store or
support Mountain Lion's new 'Gatekeeper' security certificates, you
can't build for Leopard off that project anymore. Trillian 1.3 and
1.4, as a result, require Snow Leopard or later. If you're on an
Intel Mac running Leopard, upgrading to Snow Leopard will probably
be useful in general (because Trillian is far from the only program
caught in a position of having to drop Leopard support).
However, we know this isn't ideal for the handful of users still
stuck on Leopard. So we are working, simultaneously with the next
release, on putting out one final build of 1.2 which has the new
server code but will still run on Leopard; it would lack all the
features from 1.3 builds and later, because some of those use
chunks of system functionality not introduced until Snow Leopard
(Mac OS X 10.6) and which wouldn't work on Leopard.
This requires taking code from the newer builds, merging it into
the older one, and then rebuilding everything on a machine running
a version of OS X old enough to still have the ability to compile
for Leopard/PowerPC targets, so won't happen immediately, but IS in
progress alongside the next build.
In the meantime, the web client is still available and works on
Leopard as a fallback.

Mike,
You need to upgrade to the latest version of Trillian (1.4) which is available in the app store.

Understood - & thank you. It makes sense. I'm using hacked version of Trillian now.

I hope that helps a bit! :)

I finally got trillian to work. Had to make a new account. I apologize for causing such a fuss.
