used to use adium about a year and a half ago... just switched back from iChat. while i used iChat i had everyones buddy icon in my address book (because iChat pulls those names).

well.. adium is doing the same thing. sometimes. any ideas why adium is pulling some buddy icons from address book, but leaving other buddy icons as their original?

I think address book has to have the contacts msn name in there

oh, does Adium also take the address from the book? I.E If i added a contact in adium (and put there IM in there) would adium add them?

They wouldn't be added to Adium, but if they do, it will show their picture.
