Hi there
First off I'd like to say that I really love this app, so far to me its been stable and actually kinda fun to use
I've just got a couple of suggestions to make on making it even better
1) Having a feature in the info page that will tell you when was the last time a contact was online/ how long they've been online for
2) Comeback messages - I find these really handy when for instance I need to catch someone online but at the same time I need to be doing something else
Thanks for reading this and thanks for making such a great IM client!

1) will be in the next version
2) already exists (get info on contact, add alert)

2) is also actually improved in 0.8, allowing you to set an alert for the next time a contact is "seen" (i.e. not only when YOU are already online and he signs on, but also if HE is already online and then you sign on).

Wow thanks for the super speedy reply
Great to hear like I said before I already love this program and this will only go to make it better

I thought 1) was already there in 0.7x
Guess I'm wrong

I've just had a look at the comeback messages and it seems like its a bit long winded ... what about putting an add event on the right click menu?

You can always try to message a person while they're offline
You'll get a sheet with some options, click on "Send Later"

I know that I'm dragging this thread up from the dead but I was really hoping that the first point I made in this thread "Having a feature in the info page that will tell you when was the last time a contact was online/ how long they've been online for" would be in this release as I found it really handy on gaim
Thanks for your time

Yes it is but as far as I can see thats only for AIM ... Plus I would like to see the last time someone was online ... I think all the white space in the "info tab -> Status" would led itself well to this
Hardly discoverable!

I've been looking for that option!
It's great that Adium has it, but it's deeply hidden.
Would it be possible to make shortcut for it in contact's context menu? Something like:
[X] Alert when contact comes on-line
and this option would go to "Get Info -> Events -> Add 'contact is seen'", with 'delete' checked.
