Hey, is there a way to add or can someone add a SEND button to the IM window, many times I will type something, but not send it until the other person responds and it would be nice to be able to "click" and send the text.

I used to be a fan to miranda, ironic as it may i'm hardly on any chats as it is, i was just testing out miranda and it has tons of configurable options, and seems to be more advanced but it's downfall is that it's difficult and it's rather awkward to use. i remember playing with gaim (before pidgin) and found it way too simple for my tastes, and bulky. i've just tried out the latest version of pidgin and on first load it ask for a username/protocal i chose irc, right off the bat i was connected, and checking out irc channels, again, great test run.

Anyone have used those for awhile and like one better than the other?

I really only use fireFTP, just because it is within my browser and has less windows open, and for some reason filezilla didn't work w/ my one of my websites' servers in version 2.

What are the keyboard shortcuts for Aspell in Pidgin? If I am typing a message I have to go to the mouse and click on the underlined words. It would be nice to use the keyboard for this.

Pidgin is unable to connect to Googletalk or Yahoo on my company PC from behind the firewall, but Googletalk itself works fine.

However Pidgin connects to MSN without any problem.

Debug log is below:-
(11:55:16) proxy: Connected to talk.google.com:5222.
(11:55:16) proxy: Error connecting to talk.google.com:5222 (Connection timed out.).

I want pidgin portable 2.42 with OTR and spell check as a single install. PM me if you have it since clearly there's never going to be one to download. I'd also like the installer to double as an updater, since its a real chore as is.

I never can make it work, either it forgets accounts, or the spellchecker only works on my home machine, or the OTR just vanishes, or all of the above.

I've been using Pidgin for quite some time now. I've stopped using it yesterday. I noticed Pidgin eats too much memory. Especially when I am talking to someone, when conversations window is opened. It eats even more then Firefox. More then 100,000 K.

On the other hand, Miranda has really small memory usage.

This is big dissadvantage for Pidgin and I surely won't use it anymore (or untill memory usage problem is normalized).

Can logs and settings be moved from your desktop to portable apps? If so, I would love to know how. Thanks in advance.

In the release notes for pidgin 2.4.2 it says a plugin has been added but not installed by default to add a send button to conversation windows. What exactly do they mean "added but not installed"? I do not see a plugin for that and don't know where to find it. If there was a forum for Pidgin I would post there but I don't know of one so I am hoping someone here knows.
