When I run the FileZilla I get this info box.

FileZilla Portable's settings could not be loaded into the registry. The account you are logged in with most likely does not have the ability to alter the registry. FileZilla Portable should still run correctly, but the default settings will be used.

The two best Instant Messengers out there are Miranda and Pidgin. Miranda with a ton of plugins allows you to manipulate just about everything, you name it you can do it in Miranda but this level of complexity is more suited for those who love to tinker.

Then there is Pidgin, Pidgin take a no frills approach to it's instant messenger, staying ahead of the rest(in my opinion) of the other universal IM's in the way of protocols and stability, this basic approach is more for the "Set it and Forget it" crowd that is not interested in pushing the envelope of tweaking the application.

I'm behind company firewall. If I install Pidgin and set proxy, I can login Gtalk account.
But if I use Pidgin Portable and set proxy, I cannot login Gtalk account. The same proxy setting works on Pidgin does not work for Pidgin portable.
And it's more funny that, I can use Pidgin portable to login my yahoo and MSN accounts. The only thing that does not work for Pidgin Portable is Gtalk.
Any suggestion? Thanks!

I don't use much msn so I don't know if it's normal for this protocol or not: when I want to send a message to someone who is not in my buddy list(and it seems that the person is offline) I get this message:

Message was not sent because the system is unavailable. This normally happens when the user is blocked or does not exist.

And I know for sure the person really exists and I am not blocked. Don't you know what to do about it?

Yahoo Error - Yahoo altered their protocol. This will be fixed in Pidgin Portable 2.5.7 which will be posted tomorrow morning (NY time).

Shouldn't this be '...This will be fixed in Pidgin Portable 2.6.7...'

Hi,

I can't use portable pidgin because I need to use XMPP with SSL and I get the "Invalid certificate chain" error.
I know this is related to the certificate on the server but I need to have a workaround for this.

Could it be an old version of portable pidgin could work for me?
If so, where can I find and download old versions of portable pidgin?
The only version that is available is 2.6.1 that has this problem.

I hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Running on Windows XP Home SP3 "fresh reinstallation". Started it from my USB-Stick and it worked. Later after a system reboot it crashes constantly after something around a minute. It says it's a problem with "libfontconfig-1.dll". I even downgraded to 2.5.8 with the same result!

Connections: 2x ICQ, 2x MSN, 2x Yahoo, 2x IRC, 1x XMPP

When I disable all connections, it does not crash!

After enabling ANY of the connections it crashes.

If somebody got an idea, let me know. If not I'm doomed!!

The 2.6.1 version (portable and not) has a bug that will prevent proper connection to XMPP service (jabber to some).

This is mentioned in bug #9956 at (http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9956).

The fix is a newer version of libpurple.dll provided at http://pidgin.im/~nosnilmot/2.6.1/srvfix/libpurple.dll.
