I also noted similar behaviour from about a week ago until now. I had changed all my contact's aliases to show their name instead, and licq was acting nicely with them. But from a week ago's snapshot, as soon as I connected, it updated all my contacts with info from server, therefore destroying all I have done to show their names. And I don't even know if it's safe to do it again, or if it will just overwrite them again. However, I'm not noticing harsh disk activity, but I'm in a somewhat noisy room. I'll look into it also. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ UIN: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |
