Message Styles, Tiger & Adium .80

elijah81 · Post by **elijah81** » Wed May 04, 2005 9:34 am

I can't seem to use message styles anymore
it all looks like a bunch of un formatted test...

anyone know about this or got a fix?

Which message styles? Have you tried all the built-in ones? Screenshot?

Also, I heard that if your language wasn't set to English you might get something like this.

I'm using just the built in ones at the moment...
They don't work...
I'm now using ver. 0.77 and the prob is still there...

Under Sys. Pref. > International my lang settings is just English...

Try moving/deleting Adium's .plist files in ~/Library/Preferences. Failing that, you could temporarily move ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0 elsewhere, that's where Adium stores almost all its information.

Man it still doesn't work...
it seems that Tiger's causing this..

Adium is compatible with Tiger, I run it myself with no issues whatsoever.

Tried reinstalling Adium? A screenshot of your difficulties would be helpful here, as I mentioned earlier

Have you tried using .80?

elijah81 · Post by **elijah81** » Fri May 06, 2005 2:30 am

that is .80

dbomb · Post by **dbomb** » Fri May 06, 2005 2:34 am

ah, ok, I got confused when you said that you were using .77.

Hmm, that looks a bit dodgy. Do you use Safari for browsing? How does Help Viewer cope with help documents?

elijah81 · Post by **elijah81** » Fri May 06, 2005 5:05 am

Help viewer seems fine...

as far as i can tell only adium is giving me the formatting probs...

Son of a Preacher Man · Fri May 06, 2005 5:10 am

Hmm. Repair permissions?

Are we talking of Mac OS X 10.4.0 Tiger, right? The one that says build 8A428 in the About this Mac. Just to be sure.

elijah81 · Post by **elijah81** » Fri May 06, 2005 8:07 am

Nothing...
Repaired permissions...

This bites...

just tried a demo of proteus and it has some elements of this problem...
wondering now if anyone can post a screen shot of their lang settings so that i can compare...

It sounds like a webkit problem then - which is why I was asking you about Safari.

Does safari work for you?

Are you on the build eevyl asked you about?

Did this start occuring after you installed tiger?

Did you upgrade install or do a clean install of tiger?
