Kudos to the Adium team. Adium just gets better with age. Version 1.5 brings several enhancements and some new UI elements to what is already the best IM client on the Mac. Adium has been stable for me for years and it works great.

Great app but still crashing when accepting an invite to a Sametime group chat. This started when our company updated the Sametime servers to the 8.5.1 branch. Don't know if this is a LibPurple or Meanwhile problem. I'd love it if this crash was fixed so I could use only Adium for my needs.

Does anyone know how to get SMS working again? It hasn't worked since 1.4.2, months ago. There are a couple tickets open at the Adium developer page about this issue but there's been no response.

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 have work people on MSN, friends on AIM (iChat) and friends on F*book. Adium lets me chat with all of them through one interface. Love it! However if I set up F*book using the F*book option, it doesn't connect even after I authorize it through the site; had to set it up using Jabber as the protocol, but found instructions for that on F*book. Adium is great!

Still the best chat client by far. There is nothing it doesn't handle, and you can customize the GUI to make it unobtrusive. I love not having to use Facebook's chat crap.

There are so many areas in which Adium works great. You can customize it so easily, it supports so many different clients...

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.

I try every update but I wind up reverting back to 1.4.1 because that's the last version that allows me to send IMs to cel phone numbers through AIM.

Still a fantastic app, though.

Ever since I've upgraded, I've had an issue with Adium autocorrecting text. I wouldn't mind so much if it got it right, but it's ALWAYS wrong and it's always something crazy. I've looked for a setting to turn this off, but can't seem to find anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Gryffin had trouble on 17 Jun 2011
I've been using Adium since forever, but this is the first time a full update caused me a problem. In this case, since installing 1.4.2, I can no longer create hyperlinks. When I right-click, the "Add Link" item is there, but doesn't do anything. Ditto the main menu item.

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.

Crompton had trouble on 29 Nov 2010
As mentioned previously by another user: "I have recently updated to the most recent official version and I have some "bugs" on MSN conversations, sometimes my contacts can't receive my messages AND sometimes I can't receive my contact's messages."

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.

I've noticed when they DO msg me on facebook, their name pops up. But does not go away even when they go offline. You have to restart.

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

Shock-J had trouble on 04 Nov 2009
Suddenly I can't login to Facebook. A Captcha windows opens and says "Facebook thinks you're not you. To prove you are, please enter your date of birth." It then provide 3 fields for year, month and day, but no matter how I enter the correct info, it just keeps cycling. The fields are pre-populated with zeros, so I assume they want numerical values, but nothing works. Not 1, not 01, not Jan not January, nothing. Anybody else seeing this?

Downloaded Adium 1.4b13, which says it fixes the FB captcha issue, but still no go. Instead of asking me for DOB, now it asks for two word phrase, but it still won't accept any response and won't log me in. I enter 10 in a row and I know most of them were correct. Apparently FB has changed something. Lame.

I have the same issue. I've tried both 1.3.8 and 1.4b13 with the same result. I wonder if Facebook is deliberately blocking external programs from logging into its chat, or if it's just a matter of some change in Facebook's code making Adium's current method of logging in no longer valid?

OK, I'm a huge fan of Adium and the development team is usually on point with problems, but what just happened here? They release an update to fix a specific issue and is just flat out doesn't work. It's not like this is a hard to replicate issue. It happens every time...can't login to Facebook. I certainly appreciate their enthusiasm to release a fix, but how about waiting until it actually works before you release it.
