Well, Licq puts them in the "pending authorization" list so we can make a visual note in the contact list as well. I just wasn't sure that you can't see them as online if they are in this group. Before it didn't matter, you could still see them and everything, just not get their IP I think. At some point, they changed that I guess. > Strangely, it seems that when I, or the users in question, go online, they > show > up as online on my list.

There is some strange behaviour where users drop offline. I was talking with somebody that showed me the dumps of these users and how the packets are different. I'd really like to confirm it locally so I am sure that these "user has gone offline" packets mean something else. It just seems so strange for the protocol to have a user offline packet mean something else...
