[Licq-devel] User Authorization

[Mark R. <m.r...@ut...>]

Hi,
    I was wondering if there was a way to make the Licq client respect (or at
least show the status for) users who require authorization.  I've had, over the
last few months, problems with a couple users on my contact list who would show
up as offline 99% of the time.  I discovered that it's because these users
require authorization.  When I logged into ICQ2Go I found that these two problem
users were on my "pending authorization" list.  It'd be nice if LICQ would
indicate this somehow so that I could harass these users to authorize me and fix
the online/offline problem.
 
Strangely, it seems that when I, or the users in question, go online, they show
up as online on my list.  However after some time they drop offline and I can no
longer see them.  I had mentioned this to the list before and even collected
some packet traces but never got around to sending them, but now I'm pretty sure
it's because of the authorization thing.  I'm using the server-side contact list
and I'm pretty sure that list indicates if the users are pending authorization,
so I think LICQ should be able to tell.
 
Thanks for a great IM client.
