AIM chat in Pidgin does not work

Asked by Alexander on 2013-10-10

I cannot join any AIM chatroom (only at rare times) Either by accepting invitations or adding a chatroom then trying to join it, nothing happens. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Pidgin version is 2.10.3

From Pidgin Debug Window:
=======================
(14:59:53) oscar: Attempting to join chat room ***.
(14:59:53) oscar: chatnav exists, creating room
(14:59:53) oscar: created room: *** 4 0 64 1381406393 2000 39 1 22 *** !aol://2719:10-4-***
(14:59:53) oscar: snac threw error (reason 0x000d: Request denied)
=======================

Your help is appreciated.

I've tried to get access to the chat via the same account using my laptop and got the the same result i.e. (09:05:34) oscar: snac threw error (reason 0x000d: Request denied)
