Pidgin - yahoo - Not on Server list
Hi. How do I know a person is 'blocked' how do I unblock them ? The persons status is offline not on server list. I'm using Pidgin 2.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.04. Ps there is a red circle with a line through it - on the right side of the user-list against the persons name. -- G Auckland North Shore Freecycle - New Zealand http://nz.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Enabling / Blocking account
Hello. Basically i've got a friend I dont want to see (Yahoo / Pidgin)... If I remove them, they're off my screen - But will that automatically remove me off their screen ? or is blocking the only way ? -- G Auckland North Shore Freecycle - New Zealand http://nz.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

ip address
Hello. I'm using pidgen to chat with someone on yahoo... is there a way in pidgen (or yahoo messenger) to find the ip address of the other person ? I dont need to know 'exactly' where they are - just the country. i'm not sure if they're telling truth. -- G Auckland Freecycle - New Zealand http://nz.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Has pidgen got a security login / password - I have 3-4 different users logged in, if i close the pidgen, another person can open it up instantly get access to my chats / buddies with no password requirement. (unless i lock / shut down the pc - they log in at that point...) -- G Auckland Freecycle - New Zealand http://nz.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Last I knew, the functionality you are asking for didn't exist in that client. Unless that has changed, it can't exist in Pidgin. why does it need to be in the official (Yahoo messenger) programme to be incorporated into Pidgin ? 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.. Or am I missing something ? -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

If it isn't part of the official protocol, Pidgin cannot implement it, if I'm understanding Daniel right, because there is nothing there to implement. if they ARE part of the protocol - It can be implemented.. 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... No worries - Just an idea - pidgin can use Yahoo's protocols to become BETTER than Yahoo :) -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Visability...
Good day. when using pidgin, (one of the recent versions..) I can mark a yahoo person as showing on my screen, even if they are logged off (I do not show other logged off people).. now, this setting sticks remains for that particular person - no matter how many times I log off log back in, I can always see their status / name on my screen (I want this)... However, If i am invisible - i can mark a person, so they can see me as online - even if I am invisible. This setting, does NOT stick - I have to manually do that each time I log in... (I do see a permanently OFFline setting, so they can NEVER see me online) - Can there be a permanently ONline setting / option ? Is there a setting in the latest version of pidgen, so BOTH of these settings stick and i dont have to manually adjust them when i log in... - If it does do that, I'll d/load the latest version) If the second option is not yet available, who do I contact to make a suggestion ? -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

pounce
Hi, I've just added a pounce on someone - but can't see a way to view / edit / remove the pounce. (or to confirm the pounce is active) If I right-click pounce the user again, I just get the default template..

Last seen ?
Hello. a query re the last seen (online) detail. example :- one of my contacts was last seen 10 days ago... If I'm normally online from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (pidgin is turned on aswell) one of my contacts was online earlier in the day, but logged off at 5 p.m. - Before I logged on. does the 'last seen' record the time they were actually online ? Or when my pidgin actually saw them on (while I was on aswell) Hope that makes sense :) -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Pidgen - Enhancement / Improvement
Hi, I like pidgin, except I have a suggestion I want to make :- :- When people talk with me directly, the Pidgin icon in the tray flashes, so i can see when someone talks... :- I am usually in a chat room, with only a few selected people, it may be HOURS of silent, then someone speaks.. However Pidgin doesn't let me know... Suggestion :- can Pidgin be improved to allow an ON/OFF setting 'per conference room' - So we can know when someone speaks. But - If we are in another room with 50+, 100+ people - we can turn it off - So as to not be distracted... Is this planned for - Or can it be added to the wish list ? I am currently using 2.5.8 -- G Freecycle Auckland :- http://www.freecycle.org/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
