Below, you will see the different views you can arrange your icq panel. The most confusing part of ICQ, is knowing where to find everything! Many people have trouble doing things because they don't know this, so I going to illustrate HOW to find your features...
VIEW 2- illustrates the panel with the regular ICQ LIST BUTTON
pushed...in this layout, you see your REGULAR LIST on ICQ ABOVE, with only the DOWrats group button at the bottom. (NOTE-You may have contacts on BOTH LISTS, just in case DOWrats is OFFLINE. This way you can also reach you implant sisters when the DOWrats server is down.
)

3 - illustrates the panel with the ONLINE MODE BUTTON
also pushed. This view shows only the users that are online, rather than
listing both online AND offline users.
(NOTE-
This is rather nice if you have a large list
of contacts on your list. Also, in this view, notice that the activelist
contact buttons are RED, meaning
their group server is OPEN, but you are NOT CONNECTED THEM. If
their server is DOWN, the buttons are grayed out. EX:

#3 - This illustration shows it in ACTIVE
LIST MODE, but the server is NOT
connected in this picture. I have shown what
happens when you are showing the RED,
DISCONNECTED and you need to connect. A window opens with the options and
the first option is the CONNECT OPTION. You will want to CLICK
this when you want ON DOWrats.
