SHOCK J 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? (Version 1.3.7) | |

SHOCK J 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. (Version 1.3.7) | |

ROBOTANK 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into its chat, or if it's just a matter of some change in Facebook's code making Adium's current method of logging in no longer valid?

MREDRUP Same Facebook captcha issue here too.. (Version 1.3.8) | |

SHOCK J 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. (Version 1.3.8) | |

MREDRUP Updated to ß14 and the Captcha issue seems to be fixed now. (Version 1.3.8) | |

ROBOTANK Also now successfully connecting to Facebook after upgrade to beta 14. (Version 1.3.8) | |

STILL_SPARKLING Adium is perhaps the single most famous, high-quality free app that makes Windows users gnash their teeth in envy. The praise it receives is richly deserved: it's been a stable, full-featured workhorse on most Mac users systems for years. Yes, video chat would be awesome, but from the steady pace of updates Adium receives, I know if this were possible, we'd already have it. It's still the best chat client on the Mac platform, imo. Keeping that in mind, I'd like to offer a bit of constructive criticism: 1. The Adium homepage really needs an update. There's nothing "wrong" with it per se, but, considering the amount of traffic it must receive, it could use a refresh to make it more streamlined and user-friendly. A bit of color wouldn't hurt either. 2. The Wiki and videos and are nice, but most news users don't want to watch videos or plow through a wiki after installing a new app, they want to start using it right away. This is especially important for visual apps like Adium. A QuickStart guide with plenty of screenshots would be a helpful addition to the homepage. 3. The app itself could use a bit of a touch-up from a user interface standpoint. One of the most common features of any chat client is the ability to make the window(s) stay on top of other apps. In Adium, this is hidden under Preferences-->Advanced-->Messages-->Window Handling (uncheck "Hide While Adium Is In The Background). There are further, separate options for the Contacts list and the Status Window. Clunky and confusing. A simple solution is to use View or Window "Stay on Top". 4. The Xtras: one of the best things about Adium! The Xtras should be able to be browsed and installed from within the app, much like Unsanity's Shapeshifter. Those bozos from Unsanity may have cashed out and left their users in the lurch, but they did have an elegant way of browsing through and installing themes. I think that method is superior to the one Adium uses, where you have to click each individual item on the Xtras page to look at and/or install something. Failing that, add some javascript to the Xtras page so the user can hover over an image without clicking, to get a zoomed view of the contents. Okay, I'm off to donate again. I really do love Adium and appreciate all the hard work that goes into it. Thanks, folks! (Version 1.3.7) | |

RISEOFCHAOS Adium is such a great Mac app. It's the best IM client I've ever used! You can use almost any network with only one app. Hope for an early 64 Bit Release with AV Chat. Awesome Jobs devs. :) (Version 1.3.7) | |

ROBBY.IS.ON Where's your contribution to the Open Source project? (Version 1.3.7) | |

ILGAZ Why don't you ask multi billion, nearing trillion company Microsoft to ship a SDK for video chat or better, ship a MSN client that supports video along with specs? Do the math. (Version 1.3.7) | |

YOSHINATSU Definitely the best IM app ever. Lacks audio/video, but still the best. Can't wait for a 64-bit release. (Version 1.3.7) | |

NINJA BOY Can't get this to connect to QQ no matter how many times I follow the Help page to the letter or play around with the settings. 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? (Version 1.3.6) | |

ROBBY.IS.ON Hopefully, the patch in http://trac.adium.im/ticket/12748 will fix QQ for 1.4. (Version 1.3.6) | |

FOXSTRONG It's Tencent's problem. If QQ opens its API, that will be easy to fix the problem. (Version 1.3.7) | |

ROBBY.IS.ON QQ support should be fixed in 1.4b10. :) (Version 1.3.7) | |
