I recently discovered Trillian and love it, but I can’t figure out how to activate different profiles – I know how to set them up, but I can’t find any way to switch between profiles (and didn’t find any mention of profiles on the online help).
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Until you have more than one profile or setup a password with the default profile, you won’t see the profile screen that pops up when you initially launch Trillian. To switch between them, you basically need to exit and restart Trillian.

After creating two profiles (one opens by default), I quit trillian and relaunched it (and repeated the process several times) but was never prompted with the profile screen. I even tried rebooting my computer and still haven’t seen the profile screen.
Strange…
September 13, 2002 at 12:31 am #67037AnnaParticipantMake sure that under Preferences > Profiles, the profiles have activated passwords and that the “Automatically login wiht this account” is NOT checked off while editing your profile. This should trigger the profile prompt when starting up Trillian.
As well – you don’t necessarily have to have 2 profiles (1 default). If you’re not using the default profile – you can remove it under Preferences > Profiles as well.

Thanks for the help!
