Further update. After a period of time, appoximately 3 hours, even the "freshly made" user directories went haywire with the invisible list, visible list and online notify again stopping working, On one of the local machines the user always shows up visible to remote regardless of settings, and the other local user is the exact opposite.... always INvisible to remote regardless of settings. All option screen settings are the defaults with the exception of toggling the invisible checkbox in the status tab. Most perplexing. One other note, we discovered that the Security Settings (web presence, hide ip, etc) hangs with the unknown SNAC error with the Debian package, but works correctly with the locally compiled SVN. As for the visible/invisible issues, it went from working perfectly to not working at all with nothing more than exiting the program during lunch, then re starting it a bit later. Let me know if there is anything specific log-wise that might prove helpful and I'll send it along. Thanks again. Denny
Hi Yesterday morning I had the same problem. I put some contacts in my invisible list and they could see me online. In the afternoon I had some free time and I decided to take a deeper look into it. I booted up in windows and did some sniffing, but everything seemed to be working fine, so I went back to Linux and everything was working there too. Today I'm also checking it and it works great. In my opinion, the reason why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't is that the guys from ICQ are changing things in their servers and this is why some things have an erratic behaviour. ICQ6 is under development and they're probably adding some stuff to their protocols. For instance, if you search for users in licq and you ask for online users only, the result is some online and some offline contacts. I thought this was a problem with licq, but if you go to http://www.icq.com/people/?advanced=1 and ask for online users online it also returns some offline users, so I guess their doing some nasty things in their servers. I might be wrong, of course, nut this is what I've found. Can confirm if your visible/invisible list is working now? Thanks. Cheers. Seba
