I am Impressed!

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Adium impresses me. Not only is it really customizable, it is also very easy to use and easy to set up and get going with. I have yet to try the more advanced features, such as file transfers. But if the developer has put some effort into that I see no reason for it not to work. Of, and it is really nice to my processor as well!

I have a few glitches to report though: When I logged in the first time on my ICQ account, every contact I had there had to re-authorized and I have no idea whatsoever could have caused that. Is't that kind of data stored on the ICQ servers? This caused a bit of inconvenience and a mental war: I can't wait for all my 70-something contacts to reauthorize me again. But on the other hand, I really want to keep Audium because it works so well! What do I do?

Oe last thing I would like to have in the next version of Adium: The feature set of predefined conversation windows is really well done, but I would like to be able to customize it myself.

Thanks!

"I am Impressed!" me too ;) - Maximilian Schulz

if you previously used Proteus, all you contacts have to be reauthorized, cause proteus allowed adding contacts without authorization. i realized it before, when i used ICQ2GO the first time. just check it out. if you notice th same problem, its not a adium-bug but a mistake at proteus side ;)

and regarding the request of selfmade customization.
no problem, if you are familiar with html, you are able to customize the message view in almost every aspect. just check the forums. and there is also an wiki.
so feel free to learn and contribute ;)
