Hi Daniel Thanks for the additional info. I've been banging my head against the wall for the past few days wondering what I was doing wrong.
For newer users like me, could you please put a bit more information into the FAQ to explain the following ... Why would you want to group several buddies into one contact? (Answer: They are for different services (eg MSN, AIM) used by the same person). What does the term "Contact" actually mean and why is it different from "Buddy"? (Answer: As above (sort of). Although it is odd that the term "Buddy" no longer refers to a person, but actually refers to a *service*.) When you drag and drop a buddy, why does it sometimes move nicely to a new group and other times become embedded inside an existing buddy where you can't see it? (Answer: It depends on the exact positioning of the cursor when you drop it. If you see a line, the buddy will be dropped between two existing entries. If you see a square box around an entry, then the buddy you are dropping will become part of that entry. This is quite tricky to see because the box you are dragging often completely obscures the destination.) Thanks to Billy I now understand this a lot better. Others may still be in the dark ! A small feature request. The procedure to expand and collapse a contact is inconsistent. To collapse there is a little minus button displayed. To expand you have to right click and select expand from the menu. Ideally there should be a plus button displayed like the minus button. Thanks for your help.
