It works in 1.4.1, but Facebook messaging doesn't work in that version. So I have to pick one over the other, and I need both.
I love Adium but I miss free SMS. :(

I can't send files for my friends (diff apps). Only they can send me but I have to enable auto received file.

But there is a very specific reason it's getting a star of one: I was on my laptop, about to switch to my desktop and saw a friend I had online. I haven't talked to her in ages because I never see her on. So I shut my laptop, hopped on my iMac and... She's gone. That sucks. So I text her because now I want to chat. She says she's still on. No she's not... I check on my laptop. Yep, there she is. Desktop? No. Same account, same settings. I literally cloned my desktop to my laptop when I installed Lion.
Adium has been uninstalled. Given the other fiddly issues with stability and the fact that it ALWAYS asks me to double-check my passwords when I sign in... Never again. I've given them so much time to work out the bugs and they never do. They worry about new, pointless features instead.

Sometimes I can't receive message and/or sometimes I can't send messages.
My display picture isn't displayed on my contacts (win) MSN clients.
File - transferring... well you know.
By now I have to stick with Microsoft Messenger, otherwise I can't communicate with my friends and family.
I'm sorry about this great app, but this need to be fixed.

For me, though, Adium is kind of redundant. When I first switched from OS9 to OSX, back in those heady Jaguar days, Adium was the ONLY IM client I would use. AIM, ICQ and Yahoo were bad Carbon ports, MSN was indescribable, and iChat was, er... weird. In addition, Skype was barely a glimmer in anybody's eyes and, though Gizmo was cool, only three people worldwide seemed to ever use it.
At that point, Adium -- and, to a lesser extent, the now defunct Fire and the husk of what was once Proteus -- was a breath of fresh air. It was a convenient, solid, feature-rich application that easily blew away any of the official offerings. It was also extremely customizable and, well... it was very "Mac".
Time marches on, though, and the official clients have gotten better. While this has occurred, it has seemed to me as if Adium continues to tread water, a bit. It is still a very solid application and it is still a very convenient way to keep all your contacts in one list, but it doesn't have video or audio conferencing -- which even MSN has now -- and it falls short in some very basic areas as compared to the official offerings. I have rarely been able to get file transfers to work and, at times, it can act just plain goofy.
Now, that said, I am absolutely not trying to disparage this application. I still love Adium to death and I keep installing updates, but... to be honest, I just don't find myself using it very often anymore. Maybe if I needed to be logged into eight different IM clients, or several different screen names, then I'll start it up, but... for the most part, it sits there looking at me, and just doesn't get used. Which is kind of a shame, because it still has what it has had since day one, back in those OSX 10.2 days -- loads upon loads of amazing potential that it just... doesn't... ever... quite seem... to reach.

Checking the console, I'm seeing this, twice, fer every attempt to create a link:
6/17/11 10:37:02 AM Adium[30127] +[AHHyperlinkScanner isStringValidURI:usingStrict:fromIndex:withStatus:schemeLength:]: unrecognized selector sent to class 0x21e5140
Gonna see if I have a copy of 1.4.1 laying around, and roll back.
Same thing with me and contacts I know using this update and MSN.
It's very frustrating since you never really know what's happening with your conversation.

It looks as if it's logging onto facebook with no problems. Just not displaying the user-list properly.

I live in China and everyone here uses either QQ or MSN. I don't want two chat clients running at the same time. Help anyone?

I'm now using the Mac version of MSN but I can't use my webcam:(
Does Adium support Isight so I can use it during chat?
Thnx M.H.
