If anyone can help or if your having the same problem let me know, since last night it seems I am not receiving IMs from people on my friend lists that are online and I am online too, we don't have each other on mute, and they are not receiving my IMs as well, it also seems to be random as some of my friends are able to get through to me as others can't. I've reinstalled, rebooted, clear cache still the same. Help :(

So its not just me,

Seems the xml file bugs it up, you can not set or change these anymore;

"log chat"
"show timestamps in chat log"
"show incomming im in chat log"
Change path ; where to store you chat logs/im's.

Change it, then relog, it will be blank again, as for lost IM's im sure thats the thing that was on blog fault, emails failing again.

good to know then its not just me i guess lol.

would this problem be related to that blog mention of object to object emails failing? i didn't think it would since its happening when we are online, its not the offline messages its the online ones, although im assuming too at this point im not getting offline messages as well

These have wanished from your client xml file, only viewable in the default one, but that should copy itself to your client one, wich it doesnt.

And i cant find path to store log in xml file anywhere now, its totally gone.

<key>ChatShowTimestamps</key>
- <map>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Show timestamps in chat</string>
<key>Persist</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Boolean</string>
<key>Value</key>
<integer>1</integer>

<key>IMInChatHistory</key>
- <map>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Copy IM into chat history</string>
<key>Persist</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Boolean</string>
<key>Value</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</map>

<key>IMShowTimestamps</key>
- <map>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Show timestamps in IM</string>
<key>Persist</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Boolean</string>
<key>Value</key>
<integer>1</integer>
</map>


I think they messed this up (debug);

LogInstantMessages
LogChatIM

^ um isnt that the same? just with diffrent wording.

This one i dont get why did they change xml file ,
before one line would look like this;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<--!Time before automatically setting AFK (away from keyboard) mode (seconds)!-->
<AFKTimeout value="30" />

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
however now it looks like....well a mess
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
<key>AFKTimeout</key>
- <map>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Time before automatically setting AFK (away from keyboard) mode (seconds)</string>
<key>Type</key>
<string>F32</string>
<key>Value</key>
<real>30</real>
</map>

I hope this "new" one is faster or something, cause its sure hell to edit it manually now.
