Aim Stuck on Transferring

AIM Stuck On “Transferring”

Currently we are seeing a high number of reports that AIM users can not log into AIM. The problem is described below:

During the sign in process, AIM stops at the “Transferring” message.
The user may alternatively see “Connection Timed Out” messages.
The user sees “Connection error.  Please try signing on again.”

We’ve messaged AOL’s twitter page, and beta page. We are currently waiting for a response.
The current workaround is:

• Sign into AIM with another screen name.
• Sign into your current screen name at Aim Express.

For now we can conclude there is a possible server outage which has affected specific screen names.

We’ll let you know any news as it happens.

  BIG HELP! I was going nuts trying to figure out what was up. It is only certain screen names of mine.

  You’re welcome. Still waiting for a response. We’ve have 3 individuals stating using AIM Express bypassed the problem for now.

    It has for me, too, as both of my screen names can’t log on using the proper AIM program. Really dislike the AIM express, though. Hope they get this fixed quick.

  Well, it’s been fixed for me at least. =) Makes me very happy. Thanks so much for keeping us informed, it’s been very helpful and reassuring that I wasn’t going insane.

  I’ve been seeing scattered reports about the chat.aim.com
  And someone else commented about it just after you.
