This sounds like but 1780. Try getting the beta (it'll take a while to fetch the away messages, but it should be more successful in doing so).

When you first open up Adium it takes a minute to get peoples away messages. I would wait about 5 minutes just to be sure.

How long are you hovering over them? You can't just scroll over them and it will show. It works like a tooltip, you need to hover over them for about three seconds before they show up.

i have the buddy clicked and mouse over it for a while. This is with the Beta too. Is there anyway to have a CLEAN install of adium? maybe there's a corrupted file somewhere....

for me I just wait without having the mouse hovering over the persons name and it will eventually show up after around 5 minutes. I'm not sure why this isnt working for you and I think this is one of the features that makes adium so much better than iChat.

now that i think of it, i couldn't do this since 0.8. i guess something got screwed up. well could some tell me how to do a CLEAN install? maybe that'll fix it.

If you want to get a CLEAN install just use finders search thing and type in adium. Delete everything that shows up that is Adium related.
