a question about adium chat transcript

hi everyone, i just started using adium and i have a small problem.
when i use it to chat online, it records only the date of my chat, and i cant see the exact time of the received msg. so if someone messaged me when i was away, then when i am back and see the chat, i have no idea what time he msged me. not only in the IM window i cant see it, when i check the chat transcript, it also only shows the date/year, not the specific time like other IM clients do.
how do i make it show the exact time of the received message?
Thanks in advance.

The time of each received and sent message should be at the rightside of your message-window, as shown in Preferences-> Messages.
Also, when you rightclick a name and choose "View Chat Transcripts", there are three columns, "to", "from" and "Date". When the "Date" is Today", the time is also displayed, open the chatwindow, and you will see the time of each message.

yeah thats where it should be, but in the message window it just shows Saturday, 07/18/2009.
and in the chat transcript, while it does show Today, 07/18/2009 2:38PM, but thats just the time of the first message received in that Date column, below that where the whole chat history is showed, it doesnt display the time for each message, they are all like this:
"Saturday, 07/18/2009 Linger: damn
Saturday, 07/18/2009 Linger: only me and you are available anytime tomorrow"

i dont know how to aattach a picture of it

You could upload a screenshot to a hosting site like imageshack.us and then post the link.
