Heh, there's some group-renaming code in source. It's been there for ages, because it basically trashes your contact list when you use it. One of these days, we'll get it working! Until then, you can alias groups (as above), or rename in the official client.

To clarify:

We support MSN and Yahoo (and AOL, if you have it) email notifications because those services tie your messenger to an email address. But, GMail isn't attached to any messegner, so we'd basically be striking out into the land of email clients. That's not going to happen.

mostly?

Yup, I have several users... my regular set, my "oops, I got rate limited while testing Adium" set, and my set with .7x (unupdated) accounts, so that I can use older versions.

Yes, we added a lot having to do with Growl after Christmas.

Heh, I've seen this too -- some poor girl I know from a seminar now has Evan's duck as her icon!

Seems like a great way to offend silly people. Let's do it!

Ahem... please read the stickie at the top of the forum. This is NOT an Adium forum. Moving to an actual Adium forum...

Actually, you can call AIM users. And non-AIM users. You can call anyone with an IP, or with a real phone if you happen to like to pay for the privelege. I find it much more useful in general.

I've seen lots of people on all sorts of clients (i.e. not just Adium) signing on and off quite a bit. I think AOL is doing server maintenance or some such thing, and it seems to have settled down by now.

Just gotta say, some day when you have 1000 posts on here, we'll all be having a great laugh at your name.

[Scottie Voice:] Hello, computer! Computer!
[Salesman:] No, you have to use the mouse.
[Scottie picks up the mouse and talks into it] Hello, computer!

We actually already use the contact list code to draw the users' list -- but force it to have black-on-white. That could lead somewhere interesting though...

Voice-Over-IP is your friend.

Hi! The ability to invite people to an MSN group chat will be in our next major release.

You may also enjoy going to http://adiumxtras.com/ and seeing the emoticons you can get there. Download a Yahoo set, double-click to install it, and enable it in the Preferences.

A Screen Saver with password-to-unlock turned on is what you really need. If you leave your computer alone and you're worried about others using it, lock it.

I believe that most users really do want logs by default -- home users at least. For the minority that don't, they can turn it off AND delete logs from right in the viewer!

Get Info on someone.
Click anther name in your contact list.
Voila! The info window updates to their info.

It's almost as easy, and much less annoying for the rest of us.

Yes, we really need to change how message windows handle group chat. I'd actually like to add the ability to have a different message view for group chats. There is some sort of plan to have better status message support for group chats, after the Great Status System Rewrite (tm) happens... some day...
