ichat can't communicate
This morning I cannot log into ichat. Last week everything was fine. I found an old discussion from 2010 but contents did not help. Error message is: "ichat cn't communicate with the Mac.com account xxxx. Screen name intered is not valid."
I tried to log on to the AIM site. After entering my user name, I got the response there had been unusual activity and the account was disabled. The website wanted to verify the account with some questions (looked like standard stuff) but was unable to. I have been using the same AIM account for about 5 years.
I tried creating a new account but after doing so, I get a strange message about putting in 110% effort and my account will be ready in 24 hours. Then there is an error code at the bottom.
What's up?
The ichat version is : 5.0.3
