Strange/unknown nicknames in contact list

[Tragen]

How can I see the old offline history? I can only see the server history?

When I write them, they go offline and when I look at the history, it's empty, but the history wasn't empty last week.

Miranda never wipes out a history, if your profile is in SQLITE format, you can easily check the history presence using any SQLITE database browser

Dartraiden:
Upgrade to developer version and test it the more people test it, the sooner the fix lands to the stable version.

The problem that an ONLINE contact is displayed OFFLINE although being ONLINE does still exist!
What is the point of using a messenger that is not capable of correctly displaying contacts as online/offline?

You can make auth requests from unknown contacts invisible (Events -> Ignore, check "Unknown contacts" row), but mind you they will still invisibly pollute your contact list. And that won't distinguish between a spammer and a lost friend trying to reach you from new account.

Contact list options -> Common -> Delete temporary contacts on exit

Oh, right. It's just I very rarely restart my system.
