BuddyPop not working on G4 running Leopard - Version: 2.5.6, 4/15/2008 01:08PM PST

Just a warning -- I've been using BuddyPop for years, then upgraded my G4 Quicksilver to 10.5.2 and BuddyPop no longer works. The Apple Internal Modem does not dial (there's a discussion thread about the issue at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6935046). I know the modem is OK because other comms programmes like ZTerm operate normally. So it is a software issue -- either with 10.5.2 or BuddyPop (or both).

I've emailed the developer twice over the last 3 weeks but have not received any response. So I can't confirm that BuddyPop is still supported.

BuddyPop not working on G4 running Leopard

Address display / Update check - Version: 2.5.5, 12/22/2007 02:29PM PST

Ever since I moved to Leopard, I have been unable to get BuddyPop to display address details even though I have checked the address field to display in the app's preference settings. It displays all other address book fields happily. I don't know if anyone else has had this experience?

I've also just noticed that clicking on the 'Check for new version' button freezes the app. and I have to Force Quit it using Activity Monitor. (I was alerted to the latest version (2.5.5) on one of my regular checks of VT.)
