AIM Error

[ginopiazza49]

I have a .Mac account. In the past I have no problem adding people to my buddy list. I just tried to add someone and got the message:

---------------------------------------------------------------

AIM Error

Could not add <name> to your buddy list.
(Feedbag error 17)

---------------------------------------------------------------


I am using iChat AV 2.1 (beta). Could the reason be the beta software or is something else going on?

'Feedbag error'?

That could mean that the person you are trying to add has an illegal character in their screen name. I've never seen that error myself, but that would seem like the most probable cause to me. Is it just with that person or with anyone you try to add?

There is a limit of 150 names for your buddy list. If you've reached that, you may get this error.

BTW, you have to scroll down a little on that page to get to it.
