A warning and an additional privacy option for Pidgin
I recently discovered a new privacy option called TorChat ( https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat/wiki). There's a stand-alone client that's fully functional but not nearly as slick as Pidgin. Of greater intrest is the present form of a Pidgin plug-in that takes a bit of cobbling to work, and had I not resolved persistent OTR connection failure (see below), making TorChat work inside Pidgin would have been my next effort. I'm a big fan of Tor and it would be great if someone with more time and better coding/packaging skills could create a Pidgin plug-in for TorChat that is better integrated and more easily installable. TorChat not only offers encryption comparable to OTR but also provides anonymity via the Tor network. I love OTR and have used it for many years but in today's privacy-hostile climate, more options are always desirable. The problem that precipitated this discovery: Pidgin suddenly stopped connecting via OTR 2 days ago on all 6 machines in my network. Nothing I tried would resolve the issue on any of them until I migrated from ICQ to AIM accounts and everything started working perfectly once again. I strongly suspect that the ICQ network has been altered (intentionally or inadvertently) to block the use of OTR. Perhaps gummint goons are sniffing. ICQ becomes FQ2 - you have been warned. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

I recently had to get a new computer at work. I have redownloaded Pigdin onto the new computer and can't seem to log in. I am pretty sure I know my password but could possibly not remember it. This is the e-mail address I used when I set it up. Thanks Amber Ables Project Advisor Project AHEAD Student Support Center Chattanooga State Community College Omni 10C 4501 Amnicola Hwy.

The same way you uninstall any other program on your operating system. Assuming this is Windows, Control Panel -- Programs, select pidgin and uninstall it. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Help
Please reply to the list, and not just me personally? Check for a pidgin icon in the system tray (near the clock), or use Task Manager to find pidgin from your running processes list and terminate it. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren On 2013-11-01 17:55, Tom Mensel wrote: Yeah that sounds great, but it won't let me , telling me that it is open somewhere, though I cannot figure out where, when every program is shut down except what I need to start up the computer!

Re: Help
Whatever you've got, it's not connected to pidgin. pidgin installs only pidgin itself, and possibly GTK+ (although I think it's embedded in pidgin at this point anyway). There's no browser plugin or anything else included with pidgin. -- Dave Warren http://www.hireahit.com/ http://ca.linkedin.com/in/davejwarren On 2013-11-01 18:27, Tom Mensel wrote: It also seems to have installed some conduit program on my browsers that is very annoying.
