Just set up the jabber workaround for facebook using the facebook username. All the contacts load into adium, but the contacts' names are not appearing. Its like how ti was before where a code appears as in the buddy list instead of the person's name. Is anyone else having this problem or is there an easy fix for this?

Yup, I have the same problem. Mac OS X 10.6.5, Adium version 1.4.1.

jescoolman visited #adium and it turned out there was something wrong with his View → Contact Name Format setting.

Yes, thanks for your help. You may want to remind users about the views preferences in the wiki-instructions here: http://trac.adium.im/wiki/FacebookChat

If this jabber implementation is utilized in the next version of adium, I think a change to the documentation would be helpful as well. Thanks again!

You're welcome. From which to which setting did you switch?

A change mentioning the View menu setting?

The view was "User Name", so I've changed it to "Alias (User Name)".

Alright, thanks for this good suggestion.

I just figured out the View->Contact Name format preferences while exploring the menu options. Was easy enough to fix. Thank you all!

Second the idea of adding the last step to the facebook help page.
