Re: [Fire-core] Unwelcome "Buddies"

[Graham B. <gb...@ta...>]

First of all, Fire is free software.  It always has been.  We have  
given others permission to distribute it with a bundle of utilities  
(truthfully, under our release license, they can do so without asking  
us), but we don't receive any payment from them.  It is freely  
downloadable from http://fire.sourceforge.net

There have been some issues with some phantom yahoo buddies in the  
past.  Two things must be examined first.  Edit one of these buddies  
and look at the accounts tab.  If the buddy is blocked, then creating  
these buddies is Fire's way of tracking blocked buddies.  I believe  
Alan's suggestion of running version 1.5.4 should solve this problem.

If running version 1.5.4 does not solve your problem, you are welcome  
to try out a beta of version 2.0 which handles buddy list  
synchronization with the server in a better manner.  It may solve  
your problem if other doesn't.  It is available at http:// 
fire.sourceforge.net/Prerelease/snapshot.dmg
