Internet Apps Support

At my school, we have the software that wipes the whole C drive clean every day @ 1:00 AM. We also have Kaspersky and zone alarm, and the thing where teachers watch our every move on the computers... (except they cant monitor 1100 students...) Now the thing is that, I know that I can bypass the firewall (Zone Alarm) by changing the program name AND process name to "outlook.exe" which is our teacher's mail client, which we CAN actually use but any informations put into it will be deleted by the next day's arrival in school (so there's no use to it).

Has anyone installed OpenSSL for use with Miranda IM Portable? I was wondering if there was some sort of procedure for installation on a flash drive or iPod.

Then again, if there's a plugin I can use to access Google Chat directly I'm listening...

So I know that at least one chat program (digsby) that is already supporting the new facebook chat. Does anyone know if pidgin is planning to support it any time soon? Or if the chat has simply started supporting Jabber or something like it and pidgin is already compatible? Finally, if pidgin ends up adding support for the chat sometime soon, will it require another upgrade for our portable version?

And yeah. Sorry for all of the questions, but I can't find this info anywhere else!

As we all know since Version 6x AIM has been able to support offline messaging.

Well in my new and strongly going "Live Free & Run Light" project I have switched from AIM to Pidgin Portable with the intention of getting the same great and fresh chatting experience without making my computer registry a mess plus not having AIM running so many processes + viewpointplayer all hugging my memory.

I recently made the move to not install software that have a portable version to help keep my computer registry much cleaner and smoother. [So far so good] When I had pidgin installed on my PC installing and using a theme was easy as typing this post, now with the portable version have no idea as to how to use any themes. The portable version comes with the pre-installed themes at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\themes" and while it looks like the GTK2.0 Them installer is installed at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\gtkthemeselector" it really isn't.

Hi All,
I am currently using Pidgin Portable 2.4.1 on windows xp machine.

In version 2.1.1, running Pidgin Portable through GUI or CLI resulted in opening of Buddy List ( if the application is already open and i am logged in )

However, while using Pidgin Portable 2.4.1, same action resulted in opening of a new instance.

Does anybody know how to open buddylist without using system tray?

all of a sudden I'm getting block (□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □) characters in all messages from iChat clients. I updated to the latest pidgin portable but it is still not fixed. It only affects messages from iChat (thru Aim and bonjour). Messages from normal AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ are not affected. If I highlight the block characters and paste it in another app like notepad, then the characters appear as normal words. I open the message log in pidgin and it shows block characters also. But if I open the log file in the pidgin directory, then it is normal.

I'm not a noob. I easily got Pidgin to work for an example.

But I can not get Miranda IM Portable to work. Can not connect to any service. IRC, MSN and so on. I don't see any way to connect to MSN. And I can not even type any server name on the IRC.

How the hell to configure it so it can work?

Please help me.

Why does Pidgin Portable not work when I attempt to connect with MSN Messenger? It says that the program is not supported by the server. Yahoo and AOL work fine.

hey guys.

since having installed the most recent version 2.4.1 the search function (search for aliasses in the list by just beginning to type when spotting the buddylist) doesnt work properly any more.

in the former version I was able to put in a name like lets say "chris" and it showed me names with chris in like
christian
chris333x
christopherus dong
...

now, new version:
i begin to type,
