I struggled with getting my AIM Buddy Icon (display picture) to show in Trillian Pro, it wasn't an issue with Trillian though, it was caused by my being an AIM newbie, I had to enable this via my AIM preferences under..
Edit > Settings > Expressions, then under Buddy Expressions select All Buddy Icons
| I can't webcam either way. .. |
| Trillian gets stuck on... |
AIM Triton... |
 |
thankfully generates
an error message

not exactly helpful I know but
something is better than nothing |
I switched to AIM v5.9.3861 to see if this would resolve my webcam issues... no joy.
I headed to my Mac, fired up AIM for Mac v4.7... not an option. I can send the invite to AIM but nothing pops up regarding the requrest... my black screen remains :(
I then headed to iChat v3.1.4, another dead duck. Either I have real issues with AIM (both versions) and ICQ or there is a great deal of confusion on Trillians side regarding which ID belongs to which IM provider...
