i try to log on to my icq through adium today,but i was told no more supported.that i have to download the real icq.but i dont want this.i love adium and am use to it.anybody knows what to do?


Please excuse that I edit this opening post of yours to inform everybody opening this thread:

Ok, everyone, as Dimmuxx stated it appears this problem affects Russian/Ukrainian users of third-party ICQ clients like Adium.

It would have to be fixed by the developers of Pidgin who maintain the libpurple library (Adium Wiki entry for "libpurple") which Adium uses. The issue has been reported to them (link to report) and once they have a fix it will be implemented in Adium.

For now, all you can do is wait or use a different chat service like AIM (which is compatible with ICQ) or XMPP (also known as Jabber, an open, non-proprietary protocol).

I'm able to login with my Adium but I have changed stuff for the icq protocol in it so in case this problem is global then I know the solution to it.

+1, please do share your solution :help:

I asked a couple of friends who also use Adium 1.3.2 on Leopard (10.5.6) - they don't have this problem. I used Adium 5 hours ago at home on another computer and it was fine - but that could be just Europe vs USA time difference because it was morning here and could still be previous day in wherever ICQ has headquarters.

In case someone wanna try my solution you must be using latest 1.3 branch svn.

I downloaded and installed current beta, hoping it would fix the problem. Is this what you mean? What are my next steps?

The latest beta might work but I can't guarantee it. Do you have any contacts that are using the official icq 6 client btw?

Stuff in libpurple but it seems that it won't work. I'm still able to connect though but that's probably just because the server I'm connecting to haven't changed.

Same here ... Adium 1.3.3b2, Mac OS X 10.5.6.

3 hours ago it just stopped working..
with stupid message:
=============================
System Message
=============================
The version you are using is not supported by ICQ. Download a free authorized ICQ version from ICQ's official website.

Any chance to fix that?
