Adium simply logs out without warning & a strange message.

Post by NYGrrrl »

Hi,

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I looked at the other topics, and while I did see information about "crashes", that isn't really my issue. My adium simply logs out. There is no crashing or error messages, it just logs itself out and a small window pops up with my screenname and password ready for me to log myself back in. That never happened until I updated a couple of days ago.

Can anyone explain, or tell me of a way to reconfigure adium so this doesn't happen anymore?

If it helps, I have an Imac running 10.5.5.

Thanks.

What service are you using? What version of Adium are you using (Adium > About Adium)? Can you take a screenshot of the dialog that you're seeing?

Sounds like one of the problems I've had last few days- lemme guess you use yahoo messenger?

Is this the dialog box you get?

Thanks for the responses. I did more checking yesterday. The strange message is actually an adium thing (silly me). It was a Star Wars reference that freaked me out a bit because I wasn't sure where it came from. Apparently, it has something to do with "psychic". So that part of my message you guys can ignore. :)

The other issue is still going strong, though. Every few hours like clockwork, adium logs out, and yes, I'm using yahoo messenger. It's a minor annoyance (much better than all out crashes), but if there's a way to fix it I would sure like to.

My version of adium is 1.3.1, so I think it's the latest, and my mac runs 10.5.5.

Same problem for me. Yahoo service closes w/o warning and there's a small dialog box asking for the account password (with the •'s for the password there). I'm logged in as invisible. I'll grab a screenshot the next time it happens.

Using Adium 1.3.1 with OS X 10.4.11 on a PowerBook G4.

Edit: Doh! I bumped the wrong thread. I see that there is another thread with a much more involved discussion of the problem. I see that the issue is known and I'll watch for a fix. BTW, this program kicks major booty. Love it.
