My ICQ number was 737916. A hacker stole it 20 years ago because I thought, "why would anyone want this?" and used the password "buddha" for some reason.

I loved that platform. Those were innocent days by comparison.

Wish I could have gotten that number back.

I tried to get into it on the relaunched site a few years ago, but it didn't work. I might have used my university email account as the recovery email, and that account is long gone.

But...why? I doubt anyone else that I know is using it...

Apparently strings of numbers mess with Lemmy. I don't see my icq number at all in the app I use, Boost. For you it formatted badly. Very strange.

Are they not escaping text input adequately? Because that shouldn't happen...

I think they are turning it into a HTML ordered list, and the Lemmy CSS isn't set up for that.

A bit of browser inspection, and I can basically guarantee it's because the li::marker CSS is sized for no more than 3 digits.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So we should report a bug to the lemmy developers?

[–] bss03 2 points 2 weeks ago

If the bug doesn't already exist / is included under an existing bug scope, yes.

I don't think I will, but I probably should.

Android as well

It breaks alexandrite.app a bit. It's outside the frame of the post.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

There's no reason to use it anymore. I was using the OTR encryption protocol with it, which was the best there was to offer.

That being said, I did say "could have gotten," not "could have."

1576488 checking in; still burned into my memory from 30ish (fuck) years ago.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can remember mine too, 4170129. I just can't remember why I remember it. The numbers I tend to remember are the ones that I actually had to use often. For example, I remember some phone numbers because to call someone I actually had to punch in (or dial) their phone number. But, did we have to type in our IDs from memory when logging in or something? That seems like it would be a terrible UI, and surely by the mid 90s nobody was still doing that.

[–] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you wanted to find someone when I signed up for ICQ you had to know their UIN.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

I still don't think that would be enough for me to remember it. It would mean I'd have to give it out to people. But, I didn't do that so often that I'd have memorized the number and remembered it for 30 years.

6 digit ICQ number is actually worth bragging about, it means you were one of the early adopters. Everyone who joined later had a lousy 7 digit number, like OP.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

My brother had a 6 digit starting with 9, he barely made the cut.
