Comment 89 for bug 244591

Wow. Ok, if you read my previous posts from a few weeks ago and today, I am having the *same* issue as described in the bug. I didn't think it was necessary to re-state what the bug itself states. And really, how many people who have a Launchpad account don't do basic things like "check if this is actually an error or just me being stupid" before posting on here? Sheesh.

As per the duplicate issue, that was my mistake Dimitrios. For whatever reason I got a message about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/251032 being a dupe in my email early this morning, and without looking at the bug I figured that must have been my posting this issue in backports (which it wasn't, and which I never did; why I received this email without ever looking at that bug is another question for another time). Anyhow, I haven't tried to connect to icq via pidgin for a few weeks (have an OSX machine right next to my Ubuntu machine, and Adium propagated the fix within hours of the problem occuring), but will try to do so this evening (and will see if there is an updated version in backports) and will report back details.
