OMG. I'm asking like, a thousand questions, and I feel so embarrassed.

How come in Group Chats, you can't see when people are typing?

Because everyone’s typing at the same time :)

But using MSN Messenger 4.0.1, you can see multiple people typing at once... Like:

"So and so is typing, so and so is typing, etc."

yes and in a group chat of 20 people, 15 would be typing at once making it very crowded and a little pointless

Not if you have it so their icon in the chat list is showing if they are writing or not.

Yes it still would be :P

You don’t want 20 orange flashing contacts in your Contact List, would you?

If it applied to the user list for the group chat only it'd be quite nice.

Adium isn't ready for this particular enhancement, as some serious improvements are needed behind the scenes for this to be possible. Please file a trac ticket:
