Re: FQY error 508: Contact list reading error, then disconnects

Hi Konda, have you tried the latest Pidgin beta? I don't know where to find it though. I tried the latest Adium beta, and now I have been using MSN for a while and it's seems to be working well.

Re: FQY error 508: Contact list reading error, then disconnects

Hi Robby , thanks for your reply again. I am German/Irish and I have been living in Germany all my life growing up as a bilingual speaker of German and English but my English isn't as good.

Re: FQY error 508: Contact list reading error, then disconnects

Thanks Robby for your kind help. Yes, I have searched for error 508 before and returned no results! The closest error is 241. It suggests that this is a combination problem, consisting of error 241 being triggered by a recent change in how MSN handles the contact list. It seems that somehow the old ...

Hi guys, I am experiencing a problem which is similar to one of the known issues already (error 241): http://trac.adium.im/wiki/MSN#Defectsbrokenfeatures Basically, I have been able to connect to MSN using Adium for years but for some reason cannot do so for the past 3 days. I get the following erro...
