Just curious if anyone here uses Pidgin....I actually like it and usually I hate things like GAIM...just one question though....where the ****** is the block list??? I can block people but it seems to wear off the next time I sign on which pisses me off, as I have a substantial block list.
Anyone here use Pidgin for IM'ing?

I use Trillian Pro, but I'll give this program a look-see. 
EDIT: Just wanted to add, I'm getting tired of Trillian's same interface, since I've been using it for the last 3 years.

I am using it and love it...couple quirks and Direct connect and file send don't always work as consistently as AIM but still better.
Uh, I am pretty sure even the GAIM developers supported Adium. Adium is only for OS X, right? And Pidgin isn't available for OS X, right?
Edit: Well this is in the current Pidgin FAQ:
Can I run Pidgin on MacOSX?
Yes you can, but we do not provide a package for it. The reason being that in order to use Pidgin on MacOSX, you need to install an X server and GTK+, which we are not prepared to support. You can either compile Pidgin (and its dependencies) yourself, or you can use the fink installer available from http://fink.sf.net. If you would like a native aqua interface or a user-friendly installer, we suggest trying Adium, available at http://www.adiumx.com/

Pidgin is awesome. I used gaim for the past year and a half and it was okay. I could have kept using AIM 5.5 with DeadAIM 4.5, but AIM was giving me some nonsense "ran out of memory" errors, so I was just like "f#ck it" and made the switch.
OMG, this is AWESOME! It was such a nice and clean interface! :heart: It looks very simplistic, and the sounds are much better.
:thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
EVERYTHING that dead-aim has, and more. logging, tabbed IM's, multiple IM programs on the same buddy list (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, and like twelve others), it has everything.
I still can't figure out how to install new themes...anyone have any knowhow on this? I can select the themes I place into the GTK folder but when I reread the files with the plugin nothing changes...help?

As far as I remember, the themes program installed to a directory (on XP) called GTK+ where I can open the Theme Selector. From there, I pick a theme, close Pidgin and reopen it and it will have the newly selected theme.

From the description of the plugin, it opens the chat window from a person that is going to send a message before they actually send it message. It picks up on the fact that they are typing a message.
