Category: oscar Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mark Murawski (kobaz) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) >Summary: please don\'t spam users with popups Initial Comment: I upgraded to .61 from the .5x series and after I logged into icq I was spammed with about 50 need authorization dialogues. It would be really nice if you could tell the client to ignore those. Or list them all in a seperate message window so that you dont get a ton of popups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:42 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

The important part of this bug entry was to complain about the bazillion popups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2003-04-14 17:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 When using server stored buddy lists with ICQ, authorization is not client side, it is server side. Gaim 0.60 and higher user server stored buddy lists. Therefore authorization is mandatory. I'm not sure I believe you about those people showing up as online. Are they in your buddy list twice? Are you only signed on with 1 ICQ account? A screenshot with the response from Protocol Actions->Show Buddies Awaiting Authorziation next to your buddy list showing one of those buddies online might sway my beliefs :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Murawski (kobaz) Date: 2003-04-14 15:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=121055 Actually you don't need to request authorization to see them online. The authorization is a client based thing not server. I remember in the old days when i used icq .99 for windows. Before my routine reinstallations of windows I would back up my entire icq directiory and then copy it over to my new windows install. I never needed to ask for authorization again. Yet before I started doing that, each time i reinstalled windows and reinstalled icq I had to re-ask everyone for authorization, which means that if the server kept track of who authorized who, then you wouldnt need to re-request it. And btw, the people that I see the need authorization popups for actually show up as being online. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2003-04-14 12:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 I hope you realize that you need to request authorization from those people to be able to see them when they're online... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=720882&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
