* What server software and version are you using? * What version of Pidgin is everyone using? * What happens if they quit Pidgin before shutting off their computers? * What about if the users write "/part" into the window (manually leaving the room) before quitting Pidgin? > 2.

What do you mean by 'alias'? Do you mean that he changed his in-room handle from "[email protected]" to "Jason G."? Is the room anonymous, semi-anonymous, or not anonymous? Would you provide the Help->Debug Window output from your joining the room (preferably with a few people besides the ghosts in there)? (I'd like to see if you're the owner of the room and get a sense of what the affiliation/roles of people in the room are) I think there might be an issue with kicking a room occupant whose handle contains a space (although the error message you reported suggests I'm wrong on that). > > Obviously the first is more annoying, but solvable. Why are people sometimes > left in the chat room and sometimes not? Can it be server related? It does sound like a server bug, TBH. I'd like to get more data before I really assert that, though. :) One last question: when users shut off their computers, do they appear to log out in your buddy list? ~Paul
