Adium isn't seeing all my yahoo! buddies

Post by obvioustroll »

I recently added someone to my buddy list via Adium, but when I restarted Adium I noticed that they weren't there.

So, I started Yahoo!Messenger up, and they *were* in Yahoo!

Any suggestions? I deleted my Yahoo! account from Adium and recreated it, but there was no joy.

Are they offline or online when you see them in Yahoo messenger, but not in Adium?

If they were offline they you can opt to show offline buddies from the view menu.

They do not appear in the offline list, either.

Are they MSN contacts added to your Yahoo list?

I have the same problem. I'm a switcher and came from Trillian on XP. I have several Yahoo contacts that are on line but do not show up as on line.

They are in my offline list and if I double click on them I can send them a message and they get it.

Any ideas.

Yahoo buddies

Same thing for me... it's the upgrade.
After I upgraded I lost my Yahoo buddies. They SEE me but I don't see them. When I readd them , they are visible for maybe 20 seconds then POOF! It shows them offline but they are ONLINE...when I do the show offline buddies. Is this a glitch in the upgrade?? Please fix it soon- I love this app and don't want to use Yahoo...I'm on a Mac and this is the only thing that lets me see and communicate with everyone!

I am having the same problem.
Yahoo accounts are appearing off line when they are online. I can send im's back and forth though.
