[Gaim-devel] troubles with invisible/ghost mode vs. gaim

[Michael R. H. <bu...@su...>]

My friend likes to use invisible/host mode in AIM (he's using the
official AOL client), but when he does this, I can see his messages, but
I can't respond to his messages or see that he's online.=20

When I go invisible in gaim, and I initiate a conversation with him, he
is able to respond and doesn't see me as offline.

Is this expected behavior? I'm using 2.0.0beta6 as packaged in Ubuntu
feisty.

thanks,
mike

No, that's not the expected behavior.  When someone is invisible, you should
be able to IM them, but they will not show up as online.  When you are
invisible you should show up as offline to everyone.

Do you get an error message when you try to IM him?

I'll have to try again, but I recall that it said he was offline and
stored the message as a buddy pounce because when he IMed my second
account (which opened a new tab), gaim immediately sent all my past
messages to him in that tab.

The problem was the Offline messages plugin. It was getting confused by
the invisibilty of my buddy and storing the messages. When I disabled
the offline messages plugin, everything worked normally.
