Help: Removed buddies are not deleted
Dear readers When I right click on a buddy and select Remove, and the OK, the buddy can still write to me. How do I delete a buddy for good? =) Lots of love, Louise ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Help: Removed buddies are not deleted
You've removed the buddy, but for the most part that doesn't mean they can't write to you. You'd need to add them to your Blocked Buddy list. Tools, Privacy, add them in there, and change to the appropriate action, ie "Block only the people below."

So it is impossible to remove a buddy for real? =( ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

On the buddy list, select the "Tools" menu then "Privacy" From that screen you can define who can contact you or not. Different protocols have different defaults. Which protocol is this person using?

you mention the extremely long development time of pidgin is partly due to the fact that all your developers are not that interested in features such as video call/teleconferencing, etc. i'd just like to point out that if you are to be a serious contender in the im market, their likes/dislikes mean nothing. this is business and if people that work on the project (even if they're volunteers) cannot meet this commitment, then you should withdraw your product from the market as 'unsupportable'. don't get me wrong... i love pidgin. but without features to help me conduct business on a daily basis, it is worthless. i hope your developers will realize that if they're going to compete in a major marketplace, they need to push their personal preferences aside, because they are producing a product for the market, not themselves. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Help: Removed buddies are not deleted
Unless I'm mistaken - yes. You ARE essentially removing them. The point of most chat protocols is to allow anyone to contact you - ie if I knew your screen name, I could message you. So if you don't want someone to contact you, you are blocking them, or basically 'removing' them. Same thing.

It just wonders me, because in Microsoft's MSN for Windows, it is possible to delete a buddy. Or that is atleast how it looks in Pidgin. When I delete a test buddy on Microsoft MSN, it says in Pudgin "Has you: no". So I assume that Microsoft MSN can delete? > Different protocols have different defaults.

Because I have to approve a buddy before they can write to me. ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Based on that same logic charities should just shut down. They cannot meet the needs of every starving person in the world so they should withdraw from helping anybody. Video and voice is being worked on. If it was trivial it would have been done by now. Pidgin is free and meets the needs of millions of users each day. It is not in business and not contending for anything. The world is not made up of just capitalist.

I'm sorry I had to quote it all to make it obvious. Let me know what your business is so that I can avoid it and recommend others do likewise. Remember this; Pidgin for you is clearly worth what you paid for it, so please stop using it and go and buy the product you want. Don't forget to ensure you also purchase the support you clearly require for it to meet your mission critical needs. I sincerely hope that eats into your profitability to the point where you need to crawl back under whichever bridge you emerged from. Meanwhile the rest of us will continue to use and appreciate Pidgin daily and be very pleased that we can do so after the tremendous effort put in by all the developers over a very long period. -- Brian Morrison "Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud; after a while you realize you are muddy and the pig is enjoying it." ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Modifying account status
Hi, I'm curious as to whether there is anything in the works for modifying the account status based on each account rather than as a whole. Currently I can set myself to be invisible among other statuses but I want to be able to specify which account I choose to be available, away, invisible, etc. If you haven't had this suggestion before, then I have one for you. :-) My suggestion would be to add an additional arrow to 'Change Status' with a complete list of 'Accounts', and then after making a choice of account, choosing the status. This way each account can maintain its own status without being available or unavailable to everyone especially if you have several accounts.
