This sounds like that either did not happen or some data loss/corruption/etc. occurred somwhere which made the server forget that this authorization was given. If your colleague right-clicks on the entry for you in their pidgin buddy list they should see a '(Re-)Request authorization' entry in the menu. If they select that it should cause an authorization request to appear in your pidgin buddy list. Accepting that request should sort this problem out. -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Buddy Showing as Not Authorized

Re: Buddy Showing as Not Authorized
Katie, Some IM clients allow you to appear offline when you are not. There are reports of this going back quite a while but I couldn't find any specific cause. Do you have another computer you can try this on to see if it's (perhaps) caused by a problem with Pidgin on your computer? -Tres On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Katie Elverson kelve...@emich.edu wrote: Good Morning, I am showing as Not Authorized on my colleague's buddy lists.
