Re: your program doesn't work with qq.
i don't really know much about QQ, but it is very popular in China. it is probably the top chat program, the next one is msn. everyone online has QQ but it only has a chinese version, i think. so i don't know how you people were able to get QQ in your program. probably no one tried to use it or no one bothered to email you guys, that is why you don't know that qq doesn't work with your program any more. i suppose that you can email them directly to see if you will get any response. 2010/1/22 David Woolley for...@david-woolley.me.uk: Preppy Jock wrote: i just downloaded the lastest 2.6.5 i got the following chinese from qq. it basically tells me that my version has stopped working, i should go to that site, and download the latest version.

You haven't told us which version of Pidgin you are using, which is rather important if you are talking about version compatibility problems. Also, it is sometimes important to include the exact text of error messages. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
