Version: 2.4.3
Maybe I am missing something. Maybe literally. Downloaded version 2.4.3 and the folder contained various files. But I cannot find the application itself. No .exe file to click on. Help please.

macOS 10.13.6…
It’s the beginning of the end. The IRC parts seem to work, but I can’t customize the channel styles anymore. If you click on a color, the color picker never appears.
If you try to change the background image, the dialog box never appears.
I suppose I could try finding a .plist somewhere and editing the values manually, but that’s a chore.

Linkinus seems to have gone away and Colloquy would be a good replacement but it downloads epub and mobi formats as garbage. Unless I am missing something.

"iTunes got an error: Can't get class of file track id XXXXX of user playlist id XXXXX of source id XXXXX."
Their bug tracker is dead, Trac considered very 00's, time to upgrade. Get that shit up at Github or something, seriously.

I've been a big fan of Colloquy for some time, it's always been a far more polished product than its competitors. Sadly, since switching to Mavericks it's been highly unstable and the developers behind Colloquy aren't known for their updates.
Time to find an alternative :-(
