I really liked Pidgin. I stood by there side for a long time. I switched from Trillian to Digsby a long time ago. Now I have discovered Digsby and it synchronizes all of your accounts and preferences. So when you get on another computer, or you reinstall windows, all you have to do is enter one login. That's it. And it remembers all of your accounts, all of your preferences, settings, and such.
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for a fix...
I have MirandaIM Portable running from my USB stick, and it works perfectly apart from one aspect. Every time I eject the drive the Windows XP firewall exception for the miranda32.exe program disappears. Therefore every time I plug the drive in I'm asked whether I want to unblock the program or not, and it's getting quite annoying.
Hi,
I just downloaded the FileZilla 3.2.6.1 and I found that it is PortableAppsPlatform.
Thanks.

Can someone help me? I have installed version 2.5.8, and I still cannot connect to yahoo.
I get this when trying to login: Unknown error number 1013. Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this.
I log in to yahoo, and still nothing. Rebooted, relogged in, still nothing.
Help!
For those who originally picked up version 0.2.1 for Pidgin Portable, there's no a MANUAL INSTALLATION Option for you.
First, pick up the zipped version of the plugin at http://microblog-purple.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-microblog-0.2.2.zip
Second, unzip & install the files
into X:\PortableApps\PidginPortable\App\Pidgin (replace X with your USB's drive
letter) & allow overwrites, if any.
Third, fire up Pidgin & enjoy!
For those who aren't willing to take the manual route, you can wait for the official portable release later at http://microblog-purple.googlecode.com/
Greetings, I'm new to the forum, so pardon this posting if it is not appropriate...
Pidgin 2.5.8 was released a couple of days ago. It looks like there was some fixes for Yahoo and Myspace.
Will the portable version be available soon?
Regards,
Jeff
Thanks to the developers, my prayers have been answered 
I found a plug-in for this "problem". To be exactly it's not a true workaround. It's just a web site offering free video conferences, that made a plug-in for Pidgin. That means the site works on any system!
The only problem with it is the following:
It only is available for Pidgin running on Windows!
The setup that can be downloaded needs a standard Pidgin installation. (Wait for the workaround!)
Workaround:
It doesn't matter if Pidgin ist running or not!
well at least they patched the yahoo login problem, but another one's poped up when you try to send a file the new version locked up and froze on me three times
