Hi Carol, Just to add a couple more options to the pool:
You can try to find the buddy using (from the buddy list) Buddies->New Instant Message... then the 'Name' field can search through your buddies. Once you find the right contact you'll probably see them as offline. If that's the case, you can right click their name in the conversation window and choose "Show When Offline". You can also show offline buddies through the Buddies->Show->Offline buddies (again, from the buddy list) menu. A second option is to use the Hangouts plugin from https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts which won't show anyone offline (and has a few extra features) Cheers, Eion On 30 June 2017 at 03:43, Carol Zazu <cjz...@gmail.com> wrote: > so a buddy on Pidgin using GoogleTalk has disappeared.
