That's a reasonably ancient version, but I don't think it's changed in a good long while. You can manage all of your blocked status and other privacy settings under Tools --> Privacy, select the account in question and adjust your settings as needed. You can also right click on the individual in your buddy list and block or unblock. However, I think that the red circle indicates something other than a block, take a look at what a blocked icon looks like: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#Whatdotheiconsnexttomybuddymean The red circle helpfully isn't documented anywhere that I could find in 22 seconds of Google searching, but I think it might indicate that the buddy isn't recognized by the server or similar; if I had to hazard a guess, I'd unblock (if needed), ensure that they haven't blocked you, then delete the contact and re-add them, but this is just a guess. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
