Meredith,
Are you able to close pidgin at all? I've had a similar situation now for a
week, and due to this issue ended up uninstalling the software and moving
forward with Adium.
Given the amount of people complaining about this type of behavior, I'm
wondering if the devs would now take our findings a bit more serious...

You might want to mention that to Microsoft, they seem to be making
boatloads of money selling server different Windows Server products,
which comprise a fairly substantial percentage of the base of installed
servers.

We have been trying to sign into pidgin all day and it never loads. Are you
having system problems.

Pidgin is not a system. You are using Pidgin, which is a software
package, to connect to some system. You need to ask the maintainers
of that system.

We are unable to connect here at our office. We are all using MSN accounts and
no one had any problems on Monday. We were closed yesterday. We are not
experiencing any other internet issues and we have not made any changes to our
routers. We just see "Available-connecting" at the bottom of our Buddy list
window. Is there an issue with MSN accounts at this time?
Thanks,

Whilst Microsoft may have changed something recently, that has broken it
this time, you shouldn't be using Pidgin to access MSN for any mission
critical purpose as it has always been against Microsoft's terms of
service to access it using Pidgin. For many months now, any use of MSN,
even with the official client, is at your own risk as support was
withdrawn in favour of Skype, and, in principle, Microsoft could pull
the plug finally without any warning.

I think the real issue is that no one I have talked to today has been able
to use msn, hotmail, etc. accounts that had been previously set up and
working. No, it is not Pidgin per se, and Pidgin is not the "carrier, but
does anyone know of changes that MSFT might have made? If I recall a few
years ago MSFT made some changes and for a period of time you could not use
any of the accounts using the Pidgin application - there were some
incompatibilities.

I just downloaded pidgin and neither the chat list nor the messages will show
up, except as an icon on the windows tray. When I click the icon nothing shows.
When I hover over it, you can see the preview, but it does not bring the screen
up;.
