Well, you didn't console me, my friend, and I see that you are more knowledgeable on the subject than I am. I really like Miranda as a messenger and I don't see myself using the original Facebook portal too often.

I understand how you feel.  I've been using Miranda then NG for 20yrs or more and don't want to give it up but since all my contacts have moved to facebook, I won't have much choice.  I originally used it to combine iCQ, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, AIM and Google chat.  Those are mostly all gone now.  I really hate the official facebook messenger client on the desktop. It's ugly and cumbersome and takes up way too much of the screen.
What's especially frustrating is I can still see the contacts in Miranda.  I just can't send or receive messages from any of them now.

I see that there is a huge update including the Facebbok plugin. Now let's see how it goes.



I'm already saying that the update didn't help at all. What did they improve? Errors occur all the time.

There have been no commits to the plugin since March 10
https://github.com/miranda-ng/miranda-ng/tree/master/protocols

The plugin has been rebuilt so that it can load with the new kernel version, but this does not affect its functionality in any way

As Dartraden said, there's really nothing that can be done for Facebook unless they can figure out the encryption.  It's not Miranda NG but Facebook that has effectively blocked it and other third party clients. 
I will keep Miranda NG on a drive for a long while.  I'm not good with change and I always loved the fact it could be made portable.  I could transfer it to another computer or have it run immediately after a clean install of windows without the need to reinstall it. 

I'd like to thank the developers for all their work in keeping it running well for so long.
