Yes I can still log on to the website even though my account was started on 11-9-02. I still say that the dialling home is a bad idea as it is putting increased pressure on Ceruleans servers and, as has already happened once, if their servers go down nobody can start Trillian.

In regards to the MSN buddy icon thingy in systray alerts you will also see it when you do a mouse over on their name in the list and in the message box if you have the buddyicon holder visible. You can set an MSN buddy icon for yourself using the buddy icon in preferences. If you view a users webcam on Yahoo the last picture gets used as a buddy icon for Yahoo or if you wish you can actually set a picture to be used for a buddy.
