Here is how it does look.
I send a message from the phone to my miranda, that uses another phone number, and it just hangs for some time with only one check mark, just like the contact isn't online. Then, after some random amount of time, it pops in the chat window.

I’m experiencing weird issues too. Sometimes messages fail to be delivered, useless to retry. Sometimes it goes offline without reason. I need to close Miranda and reopen and then I get previous messages. Rather undeterministic, difficult to help.

Currently in a group chat i see people numbers instead of nicknames, and on join it did list all users like that
The topic is '*nickhere*' (set by *phonenumber*)
The topic is '*nick2here*' (set by *phonenumber2*)
etc. but still it shows all group users as phone numbers.
How to fix it?

You have to add every phone number to your miranda contact list. To do so, double click on the number in the groupmember list. This will open a chatwindow for this contact and there you will find an option to add to contactlist. Afterwards the chooses username will be displayed in chat.

Sadly currently miranda does not support displaying the nicknames send by a user.

@MPK it seems i cannot even add people now, whenever i add them to the list they dont appear on the contact list, however if i do open pm chat window, from the group chat window, it will show them under my chosen nickname for contact, acting like they are added.
Still do show as phone number at group chat however.

Also why is it like that, it used to show group chat nicknames correctly in 2014.

@Der Jude: You probably have offline contacts hidden from your contact list. And as Whatsapp contact are offline (except for groups) they are hidden. I suggest to make a special Whatsapp group in your cList and turn off hiding offline contacts there.
There where huge changes in whatsapp since that time. So its not jet implemented.

@watcher: How about showing whatsapp contact as invisible instead of offline? Then you could show them together with others in a group.

@MPK no i don't hide offline contacts and i even tried search for nickname, its totally NOT IN THE LIST, and old whatsapp contacts that i added in 2014 are on the list.
Who broke the plugin code and why  :(

Der Jude, options, contacts, ignore - check if you can see the contacts there.

My guess would be - they in the "Root group" of contact list and this option got turned on:

@watcher no that's not the case, i checked in database editors that the new contacts seem to have Group key with empty value in CList, while old ones don't. I think this is the case, however is it safe to delete that key from database manually?

There is no way to do that.

Forget about the old plugin - it stopped working, then most of the code was rewritten by ghazan.

Make a backup of your profile and give it a try.

Also it is not possible anymore to keep a history/message log of the group?

It is. Just it is now saved into a logfile. See settings->message session->group chat->log format.

There were thought of getting it back to db, but it will be a long way.
