Google Talk question

I just installed Adium, and set up my Google Talk account. I can see my buddies and their status, and can initiate an new chat...they see what I'm sending them, but I get no replies. Instead, *all* of their replies only show up in the Gmail chat window of my browser.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the entire conversation to show up in Talk instead?

For the record, the person I'm trying to talk to is using Google Talk on a Windows PC.

Are you having Google Talk website up at the site time as you are connected through Adium?

And that's your problem right there. GTalk allows you to be logged in multiple times with the same account concurrently; that's what the Resource string is for in the Adium Account settings. How it decides which account to send to is a mystery to me (and in Adium there's no way to select which session your messages should go to, as far as I know), but in your case it's clear that the Windows GTalk client either prefers gmail sessions over Adium sessions, or routes messages to the first one that was connected.

Are you logged into gmail before logging in through Adium?

This is why Jabber priorities are useful. It decides which account receives messages when you're logged onto more than one. Unfortunately, we can't set them right now. 1.1 will fix that.

it's now 2008, and at version 1.2 i still don't see an option to select jabber resource to send to. what's happening with this feature?
