Hi,

first of all, there seem to be 2 different problems with this issue:
a) CenterIM doesn't show the presence status in ICQ
b) CenterIM does not add contacts to the server-side contacts list

Issue a) is fixed with a small patch [0]. Issue b) still remains.
Although for b) there is a simple workaround: Just add your contacts
with another Client (Pidgin, Finch, icq2go, ...).

The respective dev told me, that there is nothing which we can do, to
bring back the old behaviour. He stated, that ICQ has changed the
protocol and does only allow presence notification for online stored
contacts.

As this does not happen to all users I cannot guarantee the above
statement, but I believe this dev. My explanation to that is, that ICQ
did upgrade only some of their servers, and not all. That may change in
the future.

In addition, some reported, that without doing anything, they have all
their contacts online again. This is another hint, that it depends on to
which of the ICQ-servers you are connected. I do not know how the
load-balancing works, but it seems resonable to me, that you change the
server from time to time...

Hope this helps,
Greetings
