ICQ and unofficial messengers?

[iX]

Wierd... 
My online ICQ contacts every about minute goes Offline for maybe 100 miliseconds!
This makes icons blinking (probably I could disable icon blinking?).
What is wrong?

Read the wiki please.

Other users had a similar problem, but disabling "Send slower with full acknowledgment" option helped them. If this problem will remain after the release of the stable version, please open ticket on Github.

Read the wiki please.

Not that problem.  My NetLog is full of these: One after about minute, 1.5MB for few hours online.

When will the new stable version of Miranda be released?
Was information that it will be released before the new year.

sst500,

Was information that it will be released before the new year.

you're right, but the disadvantage of being russian is the obligation to drink a full samovar of vodka during a New year celebration, and unfortunately my trained bear who can buy some vodka in the nearest shop is not so smart to make a release :-) wait a bit, please, we need to seriously stabilize ICQ in the dev branch

[Krishty]

Thank you for your fantastic work! I have three small issues with yesterday’s development build:

1. No password prompt
I never saved my password, I always used to type it into the password prompt upon going online. This does not work anymore – Miranda just doesn’t connect then. I have to enter my password in the options for successful connection. I’d be glad if the password prompt came back in the final version!

2. Keepalive probes
Years ago, I enabled the "keepalive" ICQ option. I don’t need it any more, but now I can’t find that check box in the options to disable it! The effect is: A keepalive probe is sent every 60 seconds (I checked this via log file), and my status changes from offline to online, which annoys my friends and myself (because my task bar icon changes twice per minute).
I’d be glad if the final version either added back the check box to enable/disable keepalive probes, or just disabled this feature altogether …

3. The first 100 or so messages I sent with the new plugin got back as duplicates to me – they’re twice in my message window (four seconds apart). After an hour or so, the problem vanished without any further action. Just mentioning it in case it’s relevant to you.

Excuse me if you’d rather have these as tickets – then I’ll gladly do so! But it was mentioned that tickets are for the final version, so I guessed I should try it here first …

1) you can encrypt profile if you are afraid about stolen password
2) known probem, but we fixed this sometime ago (or not?). Is this problem still persist after today update?
3) known problem

[Krishty]

1) not worrying about password theft, I just don't want my kids to send other people messages when I leave the room (they like to play with the smileys!) :-) Though if you say it’s no sense in supporting it, I won’t complain.
2) yes – I downloaded today’s 32-bit development version (ICQ.dll from 2019-01-04 00:01) and I still see keepalives in 60-s intervals
3) ok

My only problem with NG's ICQ is everyone using the official client keeps on bouncing on and off line constantly.  I hope the next stable release fixes this.

[Krishty]

It won’t – this has been mentioned a dozen times already; last time six messages above yours: https://wiki.miranda-ng.org/index.php?title=Plugin:ICQ#Contacts_that_use_an_official_client.2C_constantly_switching_between_online_and_offline

[dartraiden]

Some users asks to implement crutch (if contact was online recently show his as away some time), but we should think about this...

[ellick]

I saw the wiki message already.  I had assumed that was for the development version and started happening after ICQ did this latest update that blocked miranda.  I figured it was something that would be fixed in the stable version.  I didn't realize that was the norm.

It's not keepalive, developer said
"Miranda just keeps the thread with messages reading"

we have ticket about this, but we have not yet come up with a solution

Ok, ticket created.
btw, can BossKey plugin help you?

I second that – this problem needs solving!

Okay … I’m quite suprised because this annoys me more than the other-users-are-offline-after-15-s thing, but it may be overexaggerated here due to me having myself in my contact list.

Do you have a link to the ticket? Maybe I can help with log output or something!

btw, can BossKey plugin help you?

Sounds like it can, thanks!
