So, the newer update (that included the *new* update system that you already tested) was gone, and the old one was back. When the update (that included the new update system) was released, the old updater continued its poor performance and messed up your Digsby install. (are you confused? So am I...) Anyway, if you use the latest installer, you should be back up and running and the new updater (which was about 99.9% effective) will be used from here on out and this shouldn't happen again. @Todd: The likely cause is that the test “updated” to the older version, including the update system itself.

I've always been a transient laptop user, but since graduating and finding a new job, I've been chained down to a desk most hours a day. Digsby's given me a fighting chance at keeping up on social networking and intraoffice instant message. My one suggestion would be to expand on the preference pane for notifications. It's a bit distracting having the IM window flash in my Windows task bar while, well, while I do everything, including type this comment. The Growl-esque pop-ups are fantastic, and if there was a way to make *that* the primary means of responding to messages, which we've already sort of got, that would be even better. Just a couple comments I've got after the first month or so of use. All in all, your commitment to extensible functionality is superb, and I hope you keep it up without going overboard with it.

Why can't this be integrated into the twitter menu like the update box is on twitter.com? That would just make so much more sense to me. Also, I mentioned this a little while back, but it is impossible to select all text in the status box on the messenger. Ctrl+A should in my opinion be ignored by digsby as a request for the "Add Contact" dialog when focus is set to the status box. It should instead (in this case) highlight all of the text in the box. It gets annoying to me when I have to manually select all, etc. I don't see how this would be a hard one to fix. ;) I think it would also be cool if you could make a way to show/hide the socials/email accounts at the bottom like you've done for the messenger connection status things. I know you can hide them via preferences, but a toggle button to show hide them or even show/hide selected ones would be great. I tend to like to have that space that they take up, but other times I use them at the bottom of the messenger. I'm not sure why, but the only thing that I miss from Pidgin really is how it has a place holder that shows your chosen buddy icon at the bottom of the messenger. I think several other messengers show this in there as well, but I'm not sure which ones don't. This just makes the messenger feel more personalized or something and far more convenient for updating you icon when you can just drag and drop and it's set! Hope I've inspired some more additions/tweaks for the next build! Thanks guys, digsby is great! I’m not a fan of the popup box for updating twitter.

ARGH I DONT KNOW :D. you know, just do what i say and we will have a happy end hehe. okay, countdown is running... you got 3 builds time :D. keep up the great work ;) greetings from germany! yo, i just wanted to say you guys are doing a great job! i’ve been watching so many developers of IM’s and they all look dead for months. but not with digsby, this looks like a great program and you can see that the dev’s are working on it, i like that :).
