Hi!
I've just upgraded to the latest version, and it doesn't work like I thought it should.
When I search for a user and adds that user, that user doesn't appear in my contacts list.
Sorry, but I have to ask; did you turn on the "Show offline users" switch in the main menu? ;)
Sorry for the delay. I had some RL happening and couldn't do much about licq for a few days.
Now I have tried to compile licq out of CVS. There was no configure, and make -f Makefile.cvs couldn't create one:
Then I had gotten som other answers and tried to find the "offline users" switch. Maybe I was tired, but I didn't (at first) catch that it was in the System menu.
Now all my contacts appeared!
Conclusions: 1. Changing the default behaviour between releases can cause confusion. 2. Not having a man page makes finding a "offline users switch" harder than it needs to be. 3. No response at all when adding a newly searched for, and found, contact is very bad UI design - especially when combined with a default behaviour of not showing all information about available contacts.
I'd change the response when adding contacts, even if offline users isn't shown.
Thanks for all help, and a great icq client!
