Hotmail - Can't connect
Hey, For some reason I can't get my Hotmail account to connect to pidgin. It just constantly states its connecting. Is there an ongoing issue at the moment? I have updated to the most recent version. Let me know if you need any information to resolve my issue. Thanks, Jake --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: Links don't open
Daniel, I have attempted to fix the problem by switching my default browser between a few of the ones I have installed, but the problem persists.

Hi guys, I've been using Pidgin for a long time, but recently a problem has cropped up. I think it might be related to the fact that I switched to Windows 8 from Windows 7 recently. Anyway, now, whenever I click on a link of any kind in Pidgin, nothing happens. The link turns red/purple like it's active, but the browser doesn't open.
