New user- Font color question
I would like to save frequently used font colors for later use so I'm not having to try and re-find the exact color on the color ring. I've noticed in the rectangle white box below the ring it states "The color you've chosen. You can drag this color to a palette entry to save it for use in the future." Now I'm not seeing where I'm supposed to drag the color too. I can't find an option for a "palette entry." Any direction would be greatly appreciated. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Just curious, how did that URL leak? Like, did an Oracle IT-department sent a mail asking to give that link to anyone coming from Oracle?

Please advise You can't sign up to Pidgin as it is something that you use to access the service, not the service itself. You need to contact the people that run the service you are trying to access, at a guess, your IT department. Pidgin simply passes the account details you provide to the service that you specify. It has nothing to do with determining whether those details allow you access to that service.

new user question, all buddies not authorized
I've looked quite a bit for an answer, but have come up blank. I installed Pidgin on a Windows PC, set it up with my mailbox.org account, and Pidgin says the account is enabled. Yet when I try to add a buddy, I get a not authorized error, remote server not found. I've tried inviting people on Gmail, Yahoo, and i...@ddg.gg as a check, to no avail. So what am I doing wrong?

Re: New User, Discouraged.
FYI there is a bug in Pidgin 2.10.8 that breaks logging into Facebook using XMPP. We'll hopefully release 2.10.9 with a fix sometime in the next four days. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
New User, Discouraged.
Hello, I am new to Pidgin and XMPP. I am trying to combine my Skype, Facebook, Google Hangouts, and Steam chat using Pidgin. After 2 hours and not being able to connect to anything I'm starting to realize why this kind of thing isn't popular. Am I wasting my time trying to use Pidgin to this end? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Steam chat and Skype are both non-open, non-standard protocols. There is a plugin for Skype that states it should integrate the chat with Pidgin, though Skype has to be running in the background, and isn't officially supported. To my knowledge there isn't a plugin for Steam like there is for Xfire, but I could be wrong. Google chat should be pretty easy, there's even a protocol option for it in the accounts menu (https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#HowdoIuseAIMMSNYahooGoogleTalkJabberXMPPICQoranyotherprotocol ). Facebook should work via XMPP (https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php ). -Michael ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Maybe you can't write to you home directory? Of course, it doesn't make sense to add buddies if you haven't created any accounts yet. 2. Will Pidgin blink when I have a new message, until I answer it. I expect what behavior you see this depends what platform you are on. On my Gnome Linux box the icon in the task bar changes and the text on the account tab in the chat window changes color. As I remember the Windows behavior is very similar.

New user - Can't transfer files.
Hi all, I just finished to set up a XMPP server with ejabber and Pigdin as client. At this moment the shared rooster works good and all user didnt report problems with msgs or server. But i was asked about the file transfer by pidgin. It doesn't work. I tested wih alot of people and it do nothing. There are two possible errors: i) I try send a file to userA, he gets the popup asking to accept, so he accept the file and it doesn't start the transfer. At my computer it shows the same thing, waiting to file transfer process start. ii) Other thing what happens is when i try to send a file to userA and he doesnt get the popup asking to accept and again my pc shows the transfer window and same msg: waiting to file transfer process to start And the weird thing is when the file transfer works. I read about i can't have a NAT and at the intranet i dont have it. Firewalls are disable and the problem remains. My system is: server: Suse 10.0 - ejabber - running as virtual machine. clients: windows XP and 2k. Thanks for atention, and sorry for my english.
