I am a new user to Adium, and i love it; much better than iChat. But i have noticed that there are numberous AIM buddies on my list that dont show their icons. Its just blank where the icon is supposed to be. This is weird because their icons show up in iChat, but not in Adium. Is there anything i can do, or is this something that need to be worked out. Thanks!

Have you messaged these contacts yet? Depending on what program the contact is using to connect to AIM, Adium may not be able to retrieve a buddy icon from him/her until 2 or 3 messages have been exchanged... we're still not sure how iChat seems to get around this particular oddity of the AIM protocol.
