I've recently started taking a look at Adium - and it looks pretty good!
I can see that there should be an alert somewhere that tells me if my contact is typing a message, but I can't see where that is supposed to appear. Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
If you havent installed any extras there will be a pencil icon next where their status should be. Or a blue icon. I can't remember what the default one is but just look at their status and you will see a different icon come up when they are typing.
