If your like me and use GAIM as an IM client, then you might want to follow these instructions for setting up GAIM to use the GoogleTalk servers.





1. Click Accounts->Add (at the login screen)
2. Under the protocol dropdown choose “jabber“
3. Your screenname is everything before @gmail.com
4. Change server from jabber.org to gmail.com
5. Click show more options
6. Make sure “USE TLS if available” is checked.
7. Connect server should be “talk.google.com”

8. Password is the same password that you use for gmail

Rock on…

    Hi Everbody

    I just joined this forum.

    Great work forum crew!

    Yesterday I read that there is a treatment for diabetes on http://www.healthcaredaily.org
    Is this way of curing diabetes mentioned actually true, If so I should have found out earlier! The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website

    Could you someone tell me if this healthcare information is for real?

    Thanks a lot

    Stantypap
