Gets worse with every update. Locks up and freezes half the time when trying to use emoticons.

I'm having a lot of problems with this program on Win7x64. It won't minimize, it won't close unless you do an "End Task" in Task Manager, and it doesn't remember me between sessions. Anyone else having issues? |

Brosix connects to ICQ, Google Talk, MSN and Facebook networks , but cannot connect to Jabber and Yahoo. Has anyone experienced this connection problem with Jabber and Yahoo?

Really impressed by this program. The various features, especially co-browsing, whiteboard, and and are unique, easy and effective. I preferred the interface over Skype and other similar messenger tools. |
