iChat and Adium

Post by InTheLight »

Why can't I sign onto Adium and iChat at the same time anymore? Did the AIM protocol change to not allow this anymore? I know I used to be able to. Thanks for any advice/explanation.

Oh, Tiger & latest Adium .8 beta if it matters.

Of course

Well, I wouldn't ever fault Adium for anything. Still, is there a fix for this? Or do we know *why* it's happening?

It's just the way iChat works really... i don't think theres much you can do to fix it, other than to not use iChat :lol:

But if you need to switch to iChat for a file transfer or what not, its not that big a deal to be signed off and back on really quick, IMO

It'll disconnect other versions of iChat as well. No idea why Apple decided to do that.
