RE: Support Digest, Vol 87, Issue 17

2014-11-12 Thread Memisyazici, Aras 
Meredith,

Are you able to close pidgin at all? I've had a similar situation now for a 
week, and due to this issue ended up uninstalling the software and moving 
forward with Adium.

Given the amount of people complaining about this type of behavior, I'm 
wondering if the devs would now take our findings a bit more serious...

You might want to mention that to Microsoft, they seem to be making
boatloads of money selling server different Windows Server products,
which comprise a fairly substantial percentage of the base of installed
servers.

We have been trying to sign into pidgin all day and it never loads.  Are you 
having system problems.

Pidgin is not a system.  You are using Pidgin, which is a software
package, to connect to some system.  You need to ask the maintainers
of that system.

We are unable to connect here at our office. We are all using MSN accounts and 
no one had any problems on Monday. We were closed yesterday. We are not 
experiencing any other internet issues and we have not made any changes to our 
routers. We just see "Available-connecting" at the bottom of our Buddy list 
window.  Is there an issue with MSN accounts at this time?

Thanks,

Whilst Microsoft may have changed something recently, that has broken it
this time, you shouldn't be using Pidgin

Sounds like you're on OS X.  We recommend Adium on OS X, in fact.

The behavior in the email you're referencing was a failure to
understand the Windows system tray icon behavior.  (I don't understand
it, either, I don't use Windows, so I can't help.)  It's not related
to whatever issues you're having.

What that has to do with taking things seriously, I don't know.  I
look forward to my paycheck, I guess.  :-P
