Hi Brittany, Are you able to take a screenshot of the 'Modify Account' window for your gtalk connection, just to check usernames/domains/etc. Are the other contacts on your gtalk buddy list using gtalk as well, or are they on other servers? Also, are you using the XMPP(GTalk) support that's

I made an attempt at loading certs from the Windows store, however its not possible to do this in libpurple without also using the win32 SSL/TLS system - certificates and SSL/TLS transports are tied together. Unfortunately a lot of protocols had issues when going via Window's stunnel SSL libraries

Hi Phil, Pidgin on Windows stores ca-certs in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin\ca-certs folder, as this is where the libnss plugin loads them from. Cheers, Eion On 11 January 2018 at 12:26, Phil Smith III wrote: > Alex Oren write: > >OK, found it: >

Hi Christina, Virus checkers often falsely identify NSIS-based exe installers (such as the one Pidgin and many Pidgin plugins use) as a "generic" trojan, as some small part of the installer system matches some other small part of generic trojans. Normally these false-positives go away after

Hi there, What type of protocol is it that you're seeing this behaviour on? If it's XMPP it can just be part of the way the protocol works, depending on the type of chat room. The people in the room list are indeed in the room, but if they're not advertising their "raw jid" and instead use the

Hi Micky, Those red-X icons are just placeholders for "no image". Unfortunately running the exe installer to upgrade to 2.13 of Pidgin has likely removed the icons that the plugin installed in your 2.12 install folder. You should just be able to reinstall the plugin or just copy in the images
