laian Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:15 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:15 PM So I had been using QQ frequently in america but used this other software called pidgin with out a problem. A few weeks ago i returned to america for my masters to discover that my QQ wont work here. Has anyone had any similar experiences? 莱安 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy_Rising Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:41 PM In what way does it not work for you? They're having some problems with whatever software supports the text in the latest version, but I still can log on from America and use the network.

flameproof Posted July 23, 2008 at 01:35 AM Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 at 01:35 AM Two possibilities: 1. update your Pidgin to the latest version 2. You are behind a firewall I was in the USA recently and had no problem with QQ with the hotel WiFi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laian Posted July 23, 2008 at 11:20 PM Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 at 11:20 PM Well it is very strange. Im using pidgin for multiple accounts and was not having any problems before leaving China. I did have issues with the 汉字 support for the latest update and rolled back to and older gtk to fix the issue. i have tried using two QQ account one of which i know is expired one which should be good. Oddly the expired one give me a response of "incorrect password". The one that should work says "disconnected unable to login". Any guesses?

Entropy_Rising Posted October 20, 2008 at 09:42 AM Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 at 09:42 AM Hi, I'm going to pop in here to announce that just yesterday Pidgin released its latest version which also runs on a newer version of GTK. The NULL problem and the problem of Chinese characters not showing up is completely gone - as far as my installation goes. It's so brand spankin' new that they haven't even updated their main page! Come an' get it here straight from source forge. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wufnu Posted November 9, 2008 at 02:03 PM Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 at 02:03 PM I've tried using QQ and Pidgin multiple times. I can look people up, change my settings, etc. but for some reason no one has ever talked with me =/ I wonder if my messages are even getting out. How can I check?

flameproof Posted November 10, 2008 at 09:14 AM Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 at 09:14 AM The most easy and fastest way to check is to setup a new QQ # and send it to yourself. Pidgin/QQ for me works on Xp and Ubuntu 8.10 - but did not work on 8.04. Also make sure you have Pidgin 2.5.2 . That update fixed some of my issues. in IE you can also use webQQ here: http://webqq.qq.com/ (well, it used to work....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
