Hi John,
Thank you for your answer.
Thanks for the tip to set a buddy as always show while offline.
However I don't understand what is wrong with the idea of having the online
buddies
sorted to the top while offline. Why is this something to be avoided. I thought
this
would be very helpful and makes the program more comfortable to use.
Best regards,
Steven
PS: I found some issue with this setting "set a buddy as always show while
offline".
Every time after I restart my computer after hibernating, my friend dissapear
from
the buddy list, even she is set to be shown always while offline. After I exit
from
pidgin and start again, she is there in the list.
I usually hibernate my computer, I never shut down because it's much faster.
