Buddy list question
Just curious as to how this works ... I had pidgin set up on my laptop and have an AIM account. I set up my account and one buddy in Pidgin. All worked fine. Month or so later, I trashed my computer setup and had to reload an image from way before I installed Pidgin. I then reinstalled Pidgin and added my account back in. When I did, I was surpised to see my Buddy automatically show up in the buddy list. I thought that info was only stored on my local drive but clearly it must be stored somewhere else online? I completely formatted my drive so I am pretty sure it wasn't on there. Is the buddy list stored online somewhere for my account? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

email notification using task bar icon
I wonder if there's a way for Pidgin's Windows task bar notification area icon to change color when there's Yahoo email. Buddy List does change color but I like to hide Buddy List from the task bar.Thanks.___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Either you are visable, or not - Easy... if the visable command is active (even if you are invisible to the other people), its just a matter of Pidgin remembering which person you want visable / to see you, then stick a 'permanent' thing on it. so next time you come online - It automatically marks the person as able to see you. - no changes needed in Yahoo Messenger system to cope..

Hello, My name is Lauren Reynolds. I have Pidgin installed on my computer, however when I installed it I used AIM as my protocal but only Aim, and some of my friends have MSN accounts that I am unable to access through Pidgin. I would like to know how I can change my Pidgin settings so that it includes both Aim, MSN and whatever other protocols I like if it is possible. If you could get back to me as soon as possible I'd gratly appreciate it. Thank you and best regards Lauren Reynolds ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I guess i'm lost / or people are getting confused.. :- Yahoo Messenger :- has protocol to be visable (per member) :- Has Protocol to be invisable (per member). Pidgin can activate / use these 2 protocols.. :- pidgin remembers permanently (within the pidgin system - NOT Yahoo), which members I want to be permanently visable too.. when i log in, pidgin knows I want to be visable to ABC member - it activates the 'visable' protocol.. The permanent visable part doesn't need to be implemented within Yahoo messenger itself. Where is the URL to submit a pidgin idea ? i'll submit it...

Right, that's what we are saying. I guess i'm lost / or people are getting confused.. :- Yahoo Messenger :- has protocol to be visable (per member) :- Has Protocol to be invisable (per member). Correct Pidgin can activate / use these 2 protocols.. Correct :- pidgin remembers permanently (within the pidgin system - NOT Yahoo), which members I want to be permanently visable too.. Not so sure about that. You'd have to ask a dev. when i log in, pidgin knows I want to be visable to ABC member - it activates the 'visable' protocol.. The permanent visable part doesn't need to be implemented within Yahoo messenger itself. Maybe, but you might try and see if you could script it in a buddy pounce for whenever you login. Where is the URL to submit a pidgin idea ? i'll submit it... Bugtracker is the way to go bro (: No worries - Just an idea - pidgin can use Yahoo's protocols to become BETTER than Yahoo :) Not sure how Yahoo would like that, but that would be awesome -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
