Please help....My digsby stops working after a few minutes in Windows7. I'm using RC. Thank you. Waiting for your reply

I swear by this thing for updates on social sites and email. Ironically don't use for chat too much. Three things should be done I think though... if my wifi drops I hate the dropped connection status messages that spam the screen, should be a way to disable the popup for that and just grey the icon... Usually I love these for status updates though. How long before fade out would be nice, but not critical. I would definitely also put in a vote for having it autostart minimized. I loved that about YahooIM and since I use this for status I like the idea of having it start down in my systray at login, autologin to all the networks and be done with it. Nice and streamlined. That way if I have work to do I can just glance in the bottom corner and it stays out of the way. Thanks for the great prog other than that. I love it.

Yep. One more vote for Linux.

Hi there. This is cool. I really really like it. One question though; Can you IM people from the website where Digsby is html-ed ?
I need that. I have a school web site and I need to know if the students can di that or not !

Thank you Though !

what about computer to computer voice calling like in Yahoo? I need it... other than that it's a OK IM client.

Now, if it could plug into my youmail.com account to let me know when I get voice messages, I'd have it monitoring everything for me!

(There's supposed to be a very simple RESTful API for this)

please add orkut.bcoz we Indians mostly use only one website for social networking which is ORKUT.

Any chance you guys can add a plugin that allows you translate any highlighted text? that would be awesome!

Commenting again to say AIM file transfer still works like it did last build: I can send to AIM, but AIM can't send to me. I also totally agree with Kerya. I'd LOVE to see Livejournal support.

Also reiterating what I said in my other comment about the in-line text thing.

I notice Paul said something about search in the chat history. I don't know exactly what he's talking about.... since there IS a search, BUT! But, the search only searching in one day. it'd be nice if I could search a past month or everything in the history of a chat with one person. Maybe some choices?

congrats for everything. Thsi applications is the best ever made.

The only thing we would like in the future is skype support voice and normal typing chat.

It will be great to see a LiveJournal support!

I agree with the following:

- Text formatting: Bold/Italic/Underline/Colors
- Searching chat history
- Status/Icons per protocol

The dev team has been making serious headway, and I'm happy for the efforts on a free application. I'd say these things very much qualify as "feature enhancement."

I realize everyone has different needs but I'm pretty sure we can ALL appreciate being able to bold a single word, before we add "webcam support" or some other very unique functionality like that.

The chat history without a search is borderline useless, it might as well not be there because I can't find anything. The bold/italic is such basic functionality I can't believe we're on Build 60 and this doesn't exist. It literally should have been in Build 1. The icon/status for different protocols in my opinion is just a tick down the "importance" pole, but it seems pretty basic.

Maybe it's just my perception but it seems like the Facebook and Twitter functionality are constantly breaking or not working in some way or the other (I use neither) and that ends up sucking up a lot of development resources; as I notice a LOT of builds mentioning repairs of this, that and the other, for those two things.

Please please, fix the basics first.

I just started using digsby a week ago.. and I can't wait to replace my linux IM program to digsby too. It's really great

Please add orkut to your social netoworks too....

IMO, group chat and orkut are the only things digsby is missing..

Thanks!

Please make it so we can bold one word without having to bold the entire sentence. Also, group chat would be fantastic. I appreciate your hard work getting this release out to us, both alpha testers and dev team. ^_^

Skype support needed... stop... Digg/Delicious/Reddit/Mixx support wanted as well

Yep, works with wine. Not sure whether you have to use a native ole32 dll for that though... FWIW, Digsby doesn't look that nice under Wine as a native Linux one would :/

Agree digsby still has file transfer problems, this sucks.

I have to open up live messenger just to send or get files.

I hate WLM so this sucks.

It would be really nice to have linux support. I have a desktop that i primarily use Linux Mint on and i always have to reboot into windows to use digsby. Does anybody know if this works with WINE? I read lots of the comments it sounds like lots of people want linux support.

On my laptop, it seems to be hard disk IO that limits the speed of Digsby rather than the CPU ... Perhaps an improvement in that would be more useful.

However, the improvement I'd appreciate most would be a simple official (Digsby-maintained) theme. Digsby is so busy, not at all easy on the eyes. That big Digsby logo in the background is so distracting, I'm almost starting to hate the logo itself.

When are you going to add Skype Chat? I sooooo want to use just one client.

Has anyone asked for Linux support, yet? ;P
Anyways, +1 for Digsby on Linux!

What I miss is the option to set a different status on IM accounts. I would like to be able to set my work MSN to 'invisible' while being available on my private account.

It would be great if we could have a Where to Show: contact list, icon in tray, or both setting for each individual email and social network account, because I care more about certain accounts more than others.

Much more improved and faster Digsby! I love it very much! Superb! Thanks!

Can you PLEASE improve the search function of the "Past chats" log viewer.

I use this for business and it bites hard that it can not search through the entire chat log for a selected person and is limited to being able to search just one date.

For me, it's a huge issue and something that baffles the mind that it is not able to do what I need.

Or am I missing something.

Great update guys! Thanks a lot!

Here check this. This is for you
http://nitingaopande.wordpress.com/2009/06/28/d...

Is anyone having a problem connecting to ICQ now?

I'm getting "Authentication Error" now :-/

I NEEEEEEEED Digsby for Mac. PLEASE! I'm begging you, please!!!

Mac :)

No support for GMail labels, nor Orkut? This lack for GMail labels is what prevents me from migrating to Digsby as one only solution.

Digsby is great. Thanks for all the amazing work.

The 2 most important features I'd love to see:

1. Improved chat history with universal search, etc.
2. Group chat.

Sometime mentioned a Windows Mobile port and that would also be pretty badass as well. Is porting from Windows to Windows Mobile easy?

I'm a newbie, just wanna ask. Where's the access for the Microphone & Web Cam? Can I use them with Digsby? How? Thanx...

how about the following features:

1. Nudge/Buzz
2. Group Chat
3. IRC Support

Linux and Mac have been mentioned in so many of the comments here but yet the it's not being addressed by the admin who is replying to comments. Why not!????

Turned Digsby on
Tried to update, got msgbox "Error code 0 - Incorect parameters"
Same as previous version, NOT WORKING.
Any smart advices?

i really happy to use digsby i m very glade to give the comments that i could archive gmail, yahoo, hotmail, emails *after* live opened them via digsby, without going into gmail, yahoo, hotmail.


thanks to digsby

its great,...makes my lyf easier:))

awesome and almost perfect^_^

thx

The one and only thing that Digsby doesn't have is Linux version :(
I know that it "will be released soon", but I think one year has passed and with no results :( Does anyone think about Linux users ? I am really disapointed :(

I agree with Noir Raven and all of the people asking for Skype support. I like the avatars on Yahoo and AIM.

i really wish i could archive gmail emails *after* ive opened them via digbsy, without going into gmail itself

I love Digsby and appreciate all the time and effort that goes into creating it. I am sold for life on it! The features are amazing, especially for a freeware client. What kills me the most is how I see a lot of people are never satisfied and are constantly asking for more features, or questioning why you can't do this or that. Ungratefulness will never cease.

Hai, all are best but better had voice chat in gtalk,
if already there pls inform me

beautufulll beautifulll

beautifullllllllllllllllllllll

I am new to digsby and I truly like it, I don't know how I did without it. I am a heavy user of skype, since I have alot of family overseas and make a lot of international calls. I would like to see you add skype. Are you looking at adding skype?

Aw, spent ages on that :(

L IIIII N N U U X X
L I NN N U U X X
L I N N N U U X
L I N NN U U X X
LLLLL IIIII N N UUU X X

Will we ever see support for AIM group chat? It's really the ONLY think Digsby seriously lacks. It sucks that I have to download AIM as a secondary program JUST for that feature. D:

New updates are terrific btw! Thank you!

Mac

Digsby for iPhone, RSS Feed, Skype

IRC.

Tabbing for using mutiple accounts all at once on msn, gtalk etc etc.

Why'd you change it so when you double click the myspace/facebook icons in your tray it goes to editing the mood/status. I liked it way better when it opened facebook/myspace.

Oh well I'll get used to it :(

Group Chat!! I need this so very much! It's the only thing missing before I can use Digsby as my primary IM client. I frequently use jabber in my work setting and we use chat often. Thanks

sweet! Please please please do some kind of buddy pounce similar to pidgin. I keep hoping the next release or the next release or the next release has it, but here we are now at build 22564 and still no buddy pounce! That and get a linux version already! Keep up the sweetness.

I love Digsby, but there are two features still missing that I'd love to see added (and that I had in Trillian Pro for years):

1) Group chat/meeting rooms. You can actually join one in Digsby as long as someone else sets it up, so that's a reasonable workaround, but I'd really like to see this supported first class.

2) Significantly better chat history search. Right now you can search a particular user on a particular day, but there's really no good way in Digsby to find an old conversation when you don't know which user, account, date, etc.

Overall, though, Digsby is still my IM client of choice, and I'm recommending it highly to friends and co-workers who are using Trillian and Pidgin still.

por favorrrrrrrr,quieo leer en español

The Mac and Linux versions have been "Coming Soon" for well over a year now. Don't you think it's time to take down that part of your web site if you're not going to deliver on your promise?

My ONLY disappointment from switching from Windows to Mac was no Digsby. But if you're not ever going to deliver on your promises, stop getting my hopes up.

Linux version, please? kthxbai

I would also like to see a way to add notes about each contact. I have so many contacts I forget who some people are.

awesome update.
- 1 complaint, my listening to music status still won't work.
- 1 suggestion, Last.fm would be awesome!

Linux please!!!!

lookin' good so far!

Skype
Group Chat
RSS feeds
per character modification

...possible blackberry app?

Great update~~~, if digsby can voice-enabled chat with yahoo or msn, It will be perfect..

I love the new updates!!! I've noticed that we can do video chat. It'd be even cooler if we could also be able to SCREEN SHARE.

God save the Disgby!!
this is by far. the best IM!!
If i can ask, the only think i have to say is if there is a way to improve Proxy connections.
i'm ruled by a Proxy in the office and i can go trough with skype and MSN, but Disgby dies in the run... :(

but the rest is completly Awesome!

can you add the yahoo emoticons..

Another update and yet STILL no Sametime support?

Come on guys, it has been over a year. Sametime protocol is easy to implement, it's extremely popular in corporate environments.

There was a large thread on Reddit about Digsby's bloat and how the Digsby devs continually choose eye candy over protocol support:

http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/8uw...

Many of you guys keep saying Trillian is better. Does it have weather and RSS in there? And can it dock to the corner like Digsby? Cuz I'd like to try it if it does have that.

TWITTER BUG:

I have two twitter accounts. One of them has the centered logo on the feed with the update link on it. The other doesn't.

Things I would like to see:
1. http(s)://proxy.digsby.com - Get around funky firewalls and have it encrypted.
2. Twitter part to have features like tweetdeck
3. Skpe
4. Group chat
5. IRC (sure why not)
6. DZone
7. File sharing? I would love to be able to browse my computer from another location.
8. Away on locked

Man, I would just love to see some better Vista/7 aero integration, either through added skins or "skin-ability" to make the contact list and the IM box include more aero glass.

xfire
group chat
IRC

One thing that I think is awesome, is the feedback from the staff most of the multi-client messengars dont talk about to the community but I see a nice amount of feedback from Digsby, that's what is awesome.

Our whole office uses Digsby, we think you guys are awesome :).

great update........loving it......

LES-> The buddy list can start as minimized with a little tweaking. Create a prefs.yaml in your user folder and add the following to it

buddylist:
show_on_startup: no


I have had success doing this. When I start Digsby it does not display the buddy list


Instructions on creating the prefs.yaml found on this post
http://forum.digsby.com/viewtopic.php?id=2879

Great update, the speed definately kept me from deleting it. [I was actually planning on it today. :P]

Only two suggestions:
1. Ability to delete one screenname from a contact with multiple screennames without splitting them

2. Having a cache of the past few IMs instead of having to save a log of EVERY IM I have.

Thanks!

Yeah, I reverted back to GAIM for a while because of the solid performance that it had compared to Digsby -- BEFORE *this* release, but now that the performance is back, I'm back!

I think someone mentioned this above, but GAIM has a feature called 'Buddy Pounce' which can notify you in one or many ways that a user has come back from a certain state, signed on/off, went idle, etc.... And it can even automatically fire them off a message, pop up a text box on your screen, play a sound.. With lots of work contacts and friends over different time zones, it would be cool to catch them coming online, automatically shooting them a message, and having a reply waiting for you when you're available. Oh yeah, it can be a one time deal or recurring, PER contact.

Other than that, its working well so far... I'm going to keep an eye on the CPU over time since I have it open all day. Thanks for the hard work!

One thing I would love is the ability to add notes to specific people on your buddy list (much like Trillian Pro does).

I must read more carefully, lol.

I rarely leave comments for stuff like this - but I gotta say, your groovy tool here makes such a huge difference in the office when I have 5 teams all on different IM platforms - keep up the awesome works guys!!

Aw, I came to this page for more info and all I got was the same summary. Um, I suppose there's a change long somewhere. I'll go check. Thanks for your hard work! Keep it up! Thanks for the great application :)

where is the iphone version? when you finally decide to do it please ensure it syncs with the windows and mac version.

i wish there are more customizations for the digsby skin. i would love a better green color :) I just love windows live messenger's color combination.

congrats for the new release. this is the 2nd day i'm using it and i was surprised by the update.

IRC, IMO...

I've really enjoyed using digsby, but the only thing it seems t o be missing compared to other multi-service IM clients is IRC support. Considering all the ot her additions, it seems an odd omission.

Please DON'T have Digsby log in BEFORE downloading & applying an update, or at least give us the choice. Most updates have been fast enough that it would simply log me in and back out and back in again in quick succession (I *hate* that when others do it).

Would REALLY LIKE Skype and group chat functionality!!

Other than that, kudos for a wonderful build.

Hi guys - I look forward to the new Digsby, but I didn't see anywhere to increase the font of the INCOMING messages.

Is there something I am missing?

Love Digsby! The only thing missing for me is the ability to set the status to Away when the computer is locked. It looks like the basics are there already since the default.yaml has "auto_away" already

+1 for Skype and group.
Even without though, I love this app.

Thanks for all your hard work!

File Transfers. Digsby still has trouble with file transfers through firewalled systems where WLM does not. This I would like to see improved. Maybe ultimately a collaborative work environment idea-- something similar to Adobe Connect but better/faster might be nice.

I found this application about 6 months ago and am totally impressed by the functionality and your (what appears so for to be) aggressive development. Specifically, I'm excited about the performance increase in this release.

I use this to communicate with my wife while away from home, and to monitor my email acconuts. However, she takes advantage of the my space and face book functionality, and we're thankful that one application can accomplish this.

Thank you for continued support of an excellent product.

All great - but GROUP CHAT seems to be the top request, and I heartily agree. It's the only thing that stops my mates using Digsby... get that sorted and you will RULE THE WORLD! FACT!

I use digsby all off the time, and I am very impressed with it.
And I really love that you added the contact search feature.

Things I would love to see, and I am curious to see if/when they'll be released:

Group Chat.
Screenshot Paste.
Google Voice support.
And The ability to bold or italicize single words or segments of an entry, instead of the whole thing.

Digsby rocks. I'll have to pay attention to the 50% reduction is CPU because that will really make a difference when I'm also running CS4 and a few web browsers.

Plus, I've blogged about Digsby a few times and just love it. See http://www.mattmauldin.com/tag/digsby. Thanks guys.

One thing I'm still bothered by, bold/italics still does the entire field instead of what I highlight. Why does it still do this?

no gadu-gadu support, sorry :/

Remember the milk would be a great addition as well!

Just started using this and I'm loving it! Great job!

I would love to see a fully portable, self-contained version made available that does NOT need to be installed and where a folder can just be copied to a USB drive with everything needed inside that folder.

Then, one can take the USB drive to a library, friend's house, etc and have everything just like on their primary PC... except maybe message history. Maybe even message history could be synced to the cloud (your servers) to eliminate that problem, or that could be an option, but that would definitely need to be AES 256bit encrypted, etc for privacy, security, and peace of mind.

I do agree with what some others have posted or hinted at... it seems like the last year has been largely bug fixing, dealing with memory leaks, and CPU usage issues. It seems like big features, like support for Skype, IRC, or other networks/protocols has been on hold.

Hopefully now that you've done some much ground work to deal with memory and CPU issues, you can going forward work on some big features and maintain the memory/CPU/etc work as you go.

My wish list (I know, I know, it duplicates others): Skype support, group chat, the ability to start up invisibly. Work associates tried T but found it is still too resource-intensive. Digsby is much "lighter".

Add group chat and disby would be the best thing ever!!

I'm loving Digsby, easily my favorite multi-user im software on the block (obviously behind Trillian). Sure it's not perfect, but considering it's free and with all it's features, you just can't complain.

I put my vote card for group chat as well. The other thing which would be nice is, instead of having individuals lines per email on the contact list, I would like just one line saying "email" which could expand to the left or right when you hover over it. I find multiple accounts and emails quite vertically demanding when you have accounts, emails and buddies competing for space. :)

Skype is essential I think, as well I think Gadu-Gadu is quite popular which would be nice to have added as well in the future.

To sum up, thanks :)

Drag and Drop file sharing. I also have issues with sharing files with Google Talk users.

Group Chat. NO IM client is complete without Group Chat.

So um, wtf digsby. I STILL can't bold or italicize or underline just ONE word. The only way one can put emphasis on a word is to MAKE IT IN ALL CAPS, AND NO ONE REALLY LIKES READING A BUNCH OF WORDS IN ALL CAPS...right?

Are you considering creating an iPhone APP? The might just make my year!

I love your application!! Do you have any posters or anything that I could stick around my university? I go to school at Temple University. I wanted to help spread the word.

group chat and skype!

There is much to love about Digsby, and thank you, but seriously... STILL no group chat? For that reason alone I can't recommend this to friends or in my workplace.

I've recently switched to MAC and would love to see digsby on MAC. I think with all its features it would dominate the IM community.

Wow, performance has been improved, it's quite noticeable. That has been one of my gripes about Digsby, glad to see things are getting better. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Really looking forward to OSX support!

Chiming in for a Linux Client, or at least fixing the problems with Wine. I'll be leaving Windows in the next month or two. I love Digsby, but it'll have to go until I can get to it from Linux

I use 2 AIM accounts with Digsby.

One starts with a B and starts with a T

Digsby always seems to default sending the message as the screen name with the B

You should be able to have the ability to decide which contacts belong to which screen name so you dont send messages from the wrong screen name.

Linux Linux Linux Linux Linux Linux Linux Linux

Client

Please!

(Oh, and thanks for the excellent work on the Windows version)

I still have a MSN-Yahoo problem:
-can't add / talk to Yahoo accounts added to my MSN account

Support for MSN Plus pls!

Don't know if it's possible, but how about Google Voice support? i.e. see when new voicemail arrives, along with the GV-transcribed text. Also indirect SMS messaging support through GV.

Many thanks for Buddy Search feature - my pray was listened.

We badly need a hierarchical group display for Jabber as I have hundreds of contact groups that are grouped by regions and departments.

Digsby shows a flat list now, difficult to look into. Exodus has this for a long time - why not have it in Digsby also?!

Thanks,
Dan

Love digsby, easily one of the best out there.

For me:

SkypeIM support
Group Chat
Screenshot Paste (the only thing i miss from msn plus) hit print screen button, then control+V in IM to send your screen.

I really miss that!

One more thing: if u are planning the release of language pack I will be glad to help u with PL version.

What about GG support? GG is the biggest network in Poland, but the official client sux and is getting worse and worse every day. IMHO it is the best time to strike and conquer hearts of people in Poland. Many of us looks for and alternative for national monopolist... and Digsby might be a good candidate :)

What is really needed, besides Group Chat (which I think a LOT of people have been requesting), is Offline messages.

I think ICQ's offline messages already work in Digsby, but MSN Offline messages do NOT work.

It makes it incredibly annoying, as I have to catch people while they are online, instead of just messaging them any time, and knowing they will be able to read it when they are next available/online.

Hope hope hope!!!

Can digsby IM with other IM users on different networks... ie. Hotmail to AOL - I am on Hotmail and have not been able to connect with someone on AOL...

Love everything else about Digsby but intro of Skype would improve features :)

Thanks for Contact Search (Ctrl+F) - it became great! And also many thanks for Retweet function :)

I would like to add my request for Group Chat, and IRC support as well.

I'd love to see a "group chat" or "conference chat" feature... any plans on that?

Now you have a selection of four different style emoticons can we expect protocol specific smileys? I would like to see Yahoo smileys in Yahoo conversations (all 70+), WLM smileys in WLM conversations and so on.

How can I became an alpha tester?
Thanks!
Michele

Very good build. I love an option for new IM window to start hidden and blink the tray icon instead of popping up a window. I'd like to see an option to turn off blinking of conversation window in taskabar on new message.
Also linux version will be warm welcomed.

Thanks for this build :)

I agree with Jeremy and a few guys earlier.
Too many promises for a new stuff and there is nothing at all.

You`ve been repairing and fixing Digsby for a year which I believe is great for current users who are fine with protocols support and options which Digsby already provide. However, the rest users are treated like you don`t care about them at all. I can`t believe that Digsby devteam is so spontaneous that don`t have schedule and some kind of roadmap.

By debating on kind a "what would you like to have in digsby" you gave people hope for a new stuff like support for other protocols (IRC, Gadu-Gadu, Skype...). So please be so kind and give us vague roadmap, when and what is planning to be done or provided just to have any idea is it worth or not.

I`m interested in irc and gadu-gadu mostly. At the moment (after one year of getting only fix notifications) I can`t be sure that you are able to provide support for both this year or even in 2010 and later. That`s sad and makes me tired. That`s also why I`m not using Digsby anymore and not willing to recommend it.

Maybe your mistake was to publish such topics on forum so early, long before all this performance issues being fixed. Anyway, hope you change a bit your policy regarding new users.

Kind regards,
Mike

what about web cam how can i see and watch the cam of some one ???

Since this update, i cant connect to icq anymore.i am using digsby over a proxy...plzzz fix that soon :-)
but still awesome job!! i love digsby! "digsby ya dig" :-D i thought it was sooo funny when i saw that in new york on a trash can :-D

Loving Digsby - it would be great if the status message could automatically be set depending on your IP address, ie it detects you're in a certain range that you have previously defined as Home, or another range that has been defined as work.

One feature I still would like to see is tray-icon notifications. Instead of showing the icon of a service at all times, I would like it to show only when I've got a new e-mail etc. It would save me from opening the digsby main window to check whether I've got mail.

Other than that; Great work, keep it up!

On this new social networking era, Digsby is definitely getting ambicious and trying to embrace (connect) as much networks as possible. This is something that makes Digsby different from the others. While we all are getting new accounts on Facebook, or Twitter, or GMail, RSS, online calendars, online to do lists, and so on, we will typically install one software per each (as we can't just follow everything on the web browser). This is where Digsby plays an high role and, in my opinion, that's a good step and the one that makes difference - congratulations.

I could point out many different online services I would like to have on Digsby (being Google Reader the top one), but I will let this to the Digsby developers. I would like to leave one suggestion anyway: maybe you should not prioritize new services integration blindly following the user wish list (but should not ignore it!), maybe, you should investigate and pick up (integrate) the most used, popular and fast-growing online services!!! Digsby users will probably keep being Digsby users - picking up the most popular will certainly bring you new users as they find you on search engines ;)

Happy coding!

Best regards,
Nuno

Great strides, Digsby team. Just a few changes, and it'll be perfect in my eyes:

1. DirectIM support for AIM (and any other services that allow images and sound in IMs)
2. Hyperlink support for AIM (and any others...)
3. Ability to set different icon and font settings for each account you connect to (i.e. have red Courier for MSN and blue Arial for AIM... or even different settings for multiple accounts on the same network).

Welp, I followed the advice given to Olivia near the start of the comments regarding how to make sure Digsby wasn't a tit and frak with my sound settings every update, BUT OH, NOW SOUNDS DO NOT PLAY IN DIGSBY AT ALL.

Thanks guys, thanks. I totally appreciate that.

the only thing IM left behind is Skype :(

but even without it, i'm in love with my digsby.

How about making the conversation window a little bit richer ? Maybe show the avatars in there ?

Good work on the updates !

It seems awesome but I don't like the gradient in the background and I can't copy-paste stuff. >_> Or is this just me?

There are 2 things that is preventing my company (where all employees work remotely onlne) from adopting Digsby.

1. The absence of group chat
2. The absence of skype chat

Come on, we've been waiting for months, no years, for these features. How is it so difficult to get group chat running? So many other clients can handle it, why not Digsby?

Get group chat working at least, and I will bring my 50+ strong company on board. Until then we will continue to use alternative clients that allow group chat.

Another awesome update... only thing missing for me would be Skype chat (don't care about the audio, just the chat)

Can't say anything, just love the way Digsby is....and also waiting for RSS support if any and also if possible please add Orkut support in Social Networking Category.

Thanks !

When will we see Skype support - this surely MUST be the hottest and longest outstanding request!!!

i can't believe i waited through the 13+ megabytes of this download only to find there is no in line text formatting. or group chats (which i'm actually not big on, but this quarter marked the first time i had to head to meebo to attend a classroom chat).

i specifically remember wondering why digsby was taking so long to start, then i noticed the update ticker was at 9 megabytes. i tried not to let myself get my hopes up, as i had been disappointed by the last five or six updates. but i told myself if digsby had an update as large as this, it'd probably be something substantial.

i was wrong.

oh we've got search support, and more myspace support, and even a few new emoticons...but no in line text formatting. don't get me wrong, i think some of digsby's features are great. they can make web based communication very convenient. but what i can't understand is why a function that is crucial to communication itself is, after all these months, completely unimplemented.

it's not that i can't communicate without italicizing every other word. it's that i feel insulted when you jam pack a 13 megabyte update with smiley faces and tweet support.

I'm LOVING Digsby. Well done. ...I second the Skype request - even just for the chat functionality. Its huge here. Probably more people on Skype here than all the other IM's combined.

I love Digsby but please add IRC. This is the only reason why at some locations I still use Trillian...

The latest Digsby client works smoothly on both Windows 7 Release Candidate (build 7100) and his later build 7260. Thanks! :)

damn u Digsby, make u more perfect!! :D

Support for Brightkite.com would be awesome. Posting photos and notes would be awesome along with Friendstream.

I sent an e-mail... but it'd be nice if the Logged Conversations could be more like AIM. Meaning all convos would show under a certain screen name, instead of the conversations being split up by date.

I still cannot italicize or bold just one single word for emphasis. C'mon.

Also, if this feature set functionality is hard to implement, why don't you allow modules/"widgets" to be created that plug-in to Digsby thereby alleviating all your work load by giving other programmers a chance.

Win/win for everyone!

Congratulations on the new release!
Please do not forget to add in the Weather and RSS and it becomes a great sidebar kicking everyone like MS Sidebar and Google Sidebar out the window.

awesome!!brilliant!! and as Steve would know i have regulary complained to him about the high memory usage and now i have no more complaints.
and my only future wish list would be the group chat. and any more new skins or interface development?

awsome job guys.

+1 for group chat. I was using Digsby for quite some time. It was perfect. Until my friends started having group chats and I couldn't join. PLEASE make this happen.

Oh, yeah, I agree with @ducky: I would love to be able to bold or italics just a word or phrase in my message, rather than only the whole thing.

I love Digbsy, you guys do great work! Since everyone else is asking, here's my big ones:

* Make it easier to use any .wav file (or similar) for any sound, not just packaged sound packs and config file editing.

* Make it optional to "turn off" the icon/light for email if there's no mail. I prefer to have them all "turned on" all the time since I just use "colored light" icons, but when they're off they all look the same. For that matter, it would be great if I could rename them to something else other than my login ID (like GMail instead of someone@gmail.com).

* iPod App version! (with 3GS push support!) I beg you!

:)
Keep up the good work!
Trillian Convert

Seconding the spell check for Twitter and chat support. I can see them both on the horizon!

Also, my roommate keeps bugging me about the release for Macs too. Soon soon, please?

Keep up the good work guys and I'll let you know if anything goes awry. :)

Nice to have the serach option useing Ctrl+F.. Thanks and its works Great..

Please add google talk file transfer and Orkut if possible.

Instead of trying to implement everyone's wishlist of features, how about a plug-in framework like firefox? People want things like protocol specific emoticons, let them build it themselves, share it with others...

Xfire support please. Other than Digsby is great!

We're not worthy! All hail Digsby!

Great job on the new build guys, I'm really enjoying it. Have you guys thought of putting up a way to donate for your time and such, like a PayPal account? I'd definitely be willing to do so. Also, unless I'm blanking, I think the next logical steps would be, as a few have said, group chat, native audio/video chat, and other operating systems. I feel that this new build is much more solid than the previous ones, and that it's come a lot closer to being feature complete and bug ridden (though again I don't have access to any form of "to do" list that you guys have, so please don't take this as a form of complaining). Keep up the good work, it is appreciated.

You guys are awesome!!! A had a look at Trillian Astra, used it for two days and came right back! Thanx for all the hard work in the past and on this amazing release.

could you add some of the Korean chat services like naver chat etc... and others (in english please)

they r difficult for americans to use while in korea,but useful for buisness with koreans

The one thing you guys still haven't put in is the ability to bold, italicize, underline, change the color of (and so on, you get the idea) of one word or section of text. I like to put emphasis on certain words, but it still doesn't work! It seems like such a basic thing to have.

Other than that, love it! I'll try out the file transfer to see if it works. I was tired of switching to AIM to get files.

2 things .... 1st : video support, just like trillian's video.
2nd : cellphone operating systems supoprt... yay !

What would really be nice is the ability to bold or italicize single words or segments of an entry, not just the whole thing. I bold or italicize to put EMPHASIS on a word. It completely defeats the purpose if you can only alter the entire message!

yayyy! CTRL+F finally!!! I have 3 services on IM (Work + Friends) and sometimes I die a little when I want to find someone from the offline list. Great release guys.

Only thing missing is good Group chat support.

Excellent. Find contact enhancement probably overcomes the last limitation of GUI in digsby. DIGSBY ROCKS.

so impressive. you guys really do work hard.

people need to appreciate your updates before they demand more.

Two words. Ubuntu Linux

so good

can you make this on linux?

I hope Digsby will include voice conversation for more convenient, i always sign out and sign in to another messenger in order to have voice conversation. I love Digsby and I've introduce most of friends to Digsby, so here we are...

ADD VOICE CONVERSATION FEATURES (If Possible)

Could you make the bloatware addons as Opt-in instead of opt-out. Who uses toolbars anymore anyway. I accidentally installed that and now I have to go and get rid of it.

I would prefer it if Digsby didn't send a tweet when you add it!!!!! Make it a clear option if you guys want it there, but I dont feel like anyone on my twitter would care that ive added the account into digsby!

when someone from my YM list Buzz me, i dont see any action but blank from the sender. i think this one is simple to be fixed right?

Thanks a lot. Mainly for providing the buddy list search option. I was dying for it... great...

Whao ... you guys are great here, keep up the good work. Yeah, group~~~~ chat! Though I am not using it lately, but it might come in handy. Cheers!

Why cant I use webcam to different networks? Why is tokbox so frustrating? When I want to cam my family I have to log out of digsby and log into their chat program seperately.

How do we select the new emoticons? I don't see them in my options.

o.O

Hi Digsby,

U are doing a great job, really appriciating it.
Keep up a good work!! gracias..

* Any way of adding other social networks such as Friendster, Twitter, Orkut??

Add the feature to forward tweets via email. I have colleagues who don't twitter but to whom I would like to share tweets.

Congratulations on the new release! I have tried many clients including Pidgin and Trillian Astra and I prefer Digsby a lot more. Digsby rocks!

I just tested out placing skins into Vista's ProgramData folder and with this release it finally worked! :) Awesome!

My feature requests I guess would be group chat support, like many others.

Keep up the great work! I'm going to continue spreading the word about Digsby to all my friends.

Excelent! I tried Astra not too long ago, but came back to Digsby shortly after. Its much better. Keep it up guys. :-)

digsby needs global hotkeys. Its not a hard feature to do and one that adds so much.

Love your app. Ping.fm support would be superduper

Hi, for all the developers, I just wanna say thank you for the great work here.. The invisible option for GoogleTalk is just awesome. And the blinking tray icon for new incoming chat message is just nice.

I never used Trillian before, but if I'm not wrong, their basic (free) version doesn't support Jabber Protocol (that includes GoogleTalk), am I right? I don't know with Trillian Astra, though.

One suggestion, can someone make a Skype-like skin? This would minimize the needs for a boss key =p

Anw I'm happy with what I have here for now. To me group chat can wait. Keep up the good work, guys! Cheers!

Can we please get a simple text conversation theme? I like using Digsby at work but the conversation themes are not professional at all! I need this!!

Myspace Chat, A way to get into group chat on Yahoo, and a way to check your mail on Facebook and Myspace without going to the site. Other than that, you've got a good thing going! Keep it up!

has there been any idea if theres going to be support for the new myspace chat feature like there is with facebook?

I like Trillian. mostly because of their funky skins and styles.
but function-wise it still doesnt compare to Digsby.
and most importantly, Trillian is a nightmare to get working behind firewalls and proxies. basically it just doesnt work at in my office.
Digsby connects on first try.

now if only we can get floating desktop buddy icons that could be configured to appear and hide according to status just like Messenger Plus Live...wow

anyway, thank you digsby

As someone earlier requested, I'd like the ability to personalize notifications, so I can be notified when some people come online but not others.

Other than that, better chat history and group chat would be my #2 and #3 requests.

I'm certainly happy with the product overall

Digsby,

Congratulations on another release! You are right about implementing Group Chat first. It is obviously the best voted feature request: http://digsbies.org/site/wishlist?sort=desc&...

IRC support comes 6th in that, however I would love to see it happening in the near future.

Thanks,
McoreD

Can you make the tray blink only last for a few seconds or even turn it off completely? I can't always answer people right away, so it's disturbing to the eye looking at it for so long.

I would like to be able to be able to set what account it automatically sends from with merged contacts.

i.e. if i have a contact with a facebook and AIM profile, i want to be able to set digsby to automatically (and always) send from AIM

Changing icons and single word bolding or italicizing, too! Don't get me wrong, I love Digsby, but everything can get better. :P

I love the new emoticons! Thanks dev team!

Digsby really needs group chat and proper text formatting support (bolding parts of a message instead of it all, etc.)

FANTASTIC work, throughout, guys. I'd chime in and agree w/ the RSS feed feature, but then my favorite sites won't get the ad rev they so desperately need.

I am a proud alpha tester, serious congratulations are in order guys! Thank you for all your hard and diligent work.
I love the direction Digsby is headed and actually have a sense of pride when telling people what IM client I use.
I've suggested it in the last round of suggestions and it is still something I, along with a lot of other people would love to see implemented in future developments, and that is group chat! :)
Cheers Digsby team!

Proud supporter/alpha tester,
Roman Pinzon-Soto

Any chance of a native video chat app? The whole tokbox thing is really buggy, crashes a lot. I think this would make Digsby perfect for me.

Will we ever see webcam support for msn in digsby i love it but miss the webcam for msn lol.
oh and how about an add smiley function like u get it msn etc that be great and keep up the great work guys.

DIGSBY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Group chats and photo sharing would be wonderful!! I love Digsby already, but those would make Digsby perfect.

Group Chat Please.

STILL no support for customizing the contact icons. I can't think of one other multi-client that has this issue.

Group chat would definitely be nice.

Skype support would be great.

As I've submitted before, you must get the typing notification [example "Joe (Typing)" ] moved down towards the "typing area" for the active tab. Having the typing notification at the top of the window/tab makes you take your eyes all the way to the top. I think the best place to put the typing notification would be just above the bar with font type, size, color, emoticons. If the typing notification was there, then it would be right where your eyes are looking anyway for new messages.

And by "log file searching added", I mean "log file searching ALL conversations with a single user", not just within a single day. Being able to filter stuff by date range, or adding more robust keyword searching (e.g. boolean logic, word exclusion) would be gravy, but the "Find" feature is only helpful to those who have long conversations AND can remember when they had a particular chat.

Whose face do I have to stab to get log file searching added to Digsby? Seriously, this is the one reason I still can't leave Trillian Basic -- you're killing me here, Digsby Team!

Hi, I've just started using Digsby yesterday after QIP and I'm amazed by it. There are a few features I would like to see there and one of them - message in the tray icon was just added - great, thanks! I will just say one feature which I miss the most (or at least don't know about it) and that is a popup when someone is typing a message to you (even if you don't have any conversation windows opened), like in QIP. Anyway, thanks a lot for the update!

Sounds great. I love Digsby since the first time I saw it, great work!

i know it's been said, but i'd like to see features for
skype
rss feeds
group chats
and maybe a mini LJ / other blogs client?

Would love to be able to format individual words/letters in my IMs and profiles!! =]

Tabs on the left? No? NO THANKS!

Another vote for an OS X release!

I love digsby and I am going to continue using it, but come on, the most basic features of an IM client are not here! Bold, Italic, and Underline shouldn't affect the whole message, only where they were turned on/off. What about hyperlinks? Still can't make them :(

You guys rock. No other IM client even comes close. I've used countless others, including Trillian, and no other IM client that I've seen can compete with Digsby. Skype or RSS support would be cool. Keep up the great work! :)

What prevents me from being fully comfortable with Digsby:

- Emoticon support is sub-standard: Typing emoticon "codes" without spaces in-between kills them, no custom emoticons, no animated emoticons, no protocol specific ones, etc.
- One display picture for every account: SUCKS.
- No per account status
- No multi user convos

Incessantly Flashing Taskbar notification. There is a very long thread on this, and actually, more than one thread. Any time frame on when this may be addressed?

Also, Will it be possible to make the IM conversation window smaller than its current smallest size?

These are my ONLY two remaining requests of Digsby, but great stress on the flashing task bar notification. It simply needs to stop flashing before one gets to the message. and maybe just stay highlighted....as seen in Pidgin.

Any chance we'll be getting MySpace for Digsby IM?

I'm sorry about the doublepost but can I please get an answer on the question if Google Talk File Transfer support will be implemented one time?
I asked it a few times but never got an answer, it's a so needed feature for me :)

Thx in advance!

I would like to see
RSS feed support
Skype support.

All the features and bugfixes in the world do me NO good since I abandoned Windows in lieu of a Macbook and Ubuntu Desktop. I'll gladly give up Pidgin/Adium for Digsby (hell, I was the one that got my friends hooked on digsby in the first place, back when I used windows!)... you just need to make it happen. How long are you going to let us hang?

Since you seem willing to talk about feature prioritization... any word on whether improved logfile search (across all dates) is a short, medium, or long term goal? That's really the only shortcoming of Digsby that causes me to be tempted by other clients, since I frequently have to dig up old work conversations.

@Jeremy: We definitely look at the user wish list and all the comments people leave on our blog/forum. We've done our best to communicate with our users since launching and a lot of what we work on is determined by those conversations.

I've dropped Digsby for Trillian and I'm completely happy. The latest builds aren't that far off from Digsby resource usage either.

After I read a dev's post on the forum about not looking at the user wish list when planning feature additions, I lost too much faith in the dev team. You've promised too much, too many times and I've got a "I'll believe it when I see it attitude" towards Digsby now.

Group chat, MySpace IM, IRC, and Skype would all have to be implemented to even get me to look at Digsby again.

One more wont hurt... GROUP CHAT!!

I'm forced to use MSN Messenger at times because digsby seriously cannot handle a conversation with more than 2 people. If the host (whoever added me in is the person who shows on the top and in the taskbar) tries to leave the chat, they get added back in whenever I type something. Or if they open another window to talk with me privately, I get thrown out of the chat myself.

Pleeeeeease don't force me to use MSN Messenger D:

Myspace has a new messenger clipped into the browser [almost identical to the one on facebook]. It would be great to see that in there!

Much love, thanks again for the great work.

"We will continue to focus on rounding out the feature set in the near term so let us know what you’d like to see!"

Please, chat rooms/group chat and direct IM for AIM.

I still can't only bold part of my message.
No word on a Linux version for ages.
Still no chat rooms.
No IRC support.


This is a joke release if anything.

I have one big question:

Will Google Talk File Transfer be implemented?

It's the only reason that I have google talk client and digsby both installed..

Yay! Been looking forward to this update forever! Great work as always digsby team.

Is it possible to add invisible support to msn? Or does msn's client not allow it? Whenever I try to send messages while invis it gives me an error

MSN Custom emote support and Skype add-on would be cool too.

How about an API for new IM services? It's impossible to implement /every/ user's services...

Any way to implement bolding, italicizing, and underlining separate words and not the entire text?

Thanks digsby peeps, very nice. I do have to agree with some of the above posts that skype, and RSS support would be awesome. Would make you the undisputed champ in my humble opinion.

Nonetheless, thanks again for the wonderful improvements, and always being open to feedback.

Cheers-LeadGiant

Oh yeah, and I agree with anyone who says to add group chats, if anythings, THAT'S the only thing missing.

Wow I saw the hiding messages thing. I don't know if others told you to do that, but I emailed ya'll about doing something like that! I feel so special :] LOL anyway an RSS feed thing sounds good :D

PLEASE include group chat in the next build version!!! It is essentially the last feature that Trillian has that this wonderful program doesn't (yet).

I know you've heard this time and again, and in the comments here, but an aggregate voice can't be a bad thing...

Group Chat is a must.

Hey guys! The release looks good, and at least for me there's nothing left to update. Who still uses Myspace IM, anyway?

So thanks for making such an awesome IM client! Digsby rocks.

I love Digsby, but I think you're missing RSS Feeds and Orkut support!! Seriously!! And you could add MSNplus too!! ;D

The most used IM client on Linux by far is Pidgin, unlinke on Windows the majority on Linux actually get the usefullness of a multi protocol. Digsby is pretty much Pidgin except much more slick so doesn't it make sense to release a version for Linux? You would drastically increase your userbase pretty much over night (especially if you got it into a Ubuntu release)!

Come on!

Thanks for all of the updates. I am a librarian at a university and we use Digsby for chat reference. A couple things that we would like to see:
1. A way to aggregate and/or search chat histories for the same Digsby account, but across computer users (we each have our own computer login, so even though we only have one Digsby account, I cannot see the previous chats that my co-workers have held with users). Since we are trying to see what types of questions that we are receiving, this would be very useful.
2. A way to rename all of the contacts that show up on our list. We have a few buddies that we have not been able to access the renaming features.

Thanks, and keep up the excellent work!

The window options "keep on top of other applications" and "show in taskbar" are still broken : (

How's Digsby for Mac coming? I love this update to death but I'm going to be switching to Mac soon. I truly don't want to use Adium. Oh, and remember to add group chat to the Mac version... I want that soooo bad.

As others have mentioned IRC would be great. I don't use it all that often but it would be nice to have it within Digsby.

Other than that the release seems very nice. There isn't really anything new feature wise that I'll use much but still, great work.

Digsby is my favourite IM client by a long way and has been for quite some time. :)

Is there a Portable version?

I also went to Trillian Astra- I loved the features in Digsby, and like the popup messages in Digsby much more than the rather badly implemented ones in Astra.

However, Astra has tablet/whiteboard support, which the Digsby devs don't really seem interested in implementing- too bad for us tablet users! At least Astra is finally stable enough to use full time :(

Agreed on group chat. (I'm using Meebo for this for now.)

Also, PLEASE can we have in-line formatting?

Aside from what's already listed, the only thing missing is the ability to change ones icon(s) on AIM/MSN. D:

I just want to say don't do the suggestion below, or at least, if you decide to add it, make it just an option. I don't want to see blocked contacts in my contact list, thats one thing I hated about pidgin the last time I used it 6 months ago before switching to digsby, which has been great for everything except webcam chat, since my gf will only use yahoo for her IM client.

fjsflor Said,
June 24, 2009 @ 2:49 pm

What really is lacking in digsby is some sort of identification of the blocked contacts in contact list. Man, that is basic… apart from that, that’s a really great release

If we're talking about that sort of thing I moved my Twitter usage from Digsby to Pidgin so that I could have an always-open scrolling window.

@James: Agreed :)

@Aditya: Haha, as an alpha tester this is all the stuff you already helped us solidify.

@Jeff: Submit a bug report after double clicking on a few people.

I would like to see comment posts from Facebook in Digsby. So far this is the best client I have used but no one has the comments option for some reason.

Come on!!!
Digsby would be perfect if Skype was supported

Perfect?, no, more!!!, absolutelly marvellous!!


Thanks for the program!

Skyyyyyyyyyyype chat! Please!

Other than that, I love it. If I were to write an IM client, it would work just like Digsby :)

Hey, how about spell-check in the twitter box?

I second the request for a group chat feature...seems to be the only thing missing!

Please support SKYPE!!

that would be perfect.

Add Skype, maybe?

Thanks for the email reply (wow, that was fast!) the installation was a success.

I would like to see the Zune software implemented into the "Listening to" function as well. Not everyone uses iTunes =/ Feeling kinda left out for that one.
Other than that I'm loving it, I switched to Digsby about two years ago after I got sick of the way Trillian functions. Mostly the fact that it's so less CPU intensive. Thanks for all the hard work and listening to our suggestions.

Actually responding to user comments = awesome. Keep up the good work.

Ok, this is hilarious, seriously.

This supposedly "feature packed- and faster" version didn't impress me at all, not ONE BIT, and that's really strange, 'coz generally every Digsby release out, especially with features has my heart really thumping hard, but this time it was really odd.

and although i don't really keep tabs on build numbers, but i was pretty certain i did see a note on facebook about a certain build 60 being out just a couple of days or so.

Then i decided to have a look at the change log, and then it all dawned upon me! This was the beta release, where as i had access to the alpha releases with all these features! Dang man, now you see non alphas, what you'd been missing all along? yea. we'd access to all these since i dunno, six months or so?

Anyway, if you consider Digsby six months back, and then all these featyres all of a sudden in one staright release, this sure will go down as one of the epic releases in the history of Digsby, or who knows, the history of IM-cum-email notification-cum-social networking_client!!

way to go devs!!!!

Anyway, one suggestion, devs! You come out with releases, every now and then. Some are simple patch like, bug removals, some like this are feature- and enhancement-packed. So the next time you come with a feature and enhancement packed thing, try giving Digsby a facelift, a rather radical thing. As in, something which as got new and better features, enhanced usability, and a completely new look, something of a new avatar. That will give you the feel of a new DIGSBY, As in when a new edition of a certain program comes out, it seems as a new thing. Compared to hunting down bugs and adding whole new features, i think facelifting Digsby's look should be an easier task. Coz something like Digsby, which is in a perpetual state of development (GAMMA products), after a little while with the same look on things occasionally seem to get a bit boring. A newer Digsby would certainly brighten up spirits to sky-high limits. It would extend the development cycle, but when you've spent so much time doing away with the bugs and coding new bits to add features, a little longer wait wouldn't hurt, would it? (and please please please don't stop this perpetual development cycle of Digsby or take it out of Gamma; you guys working on it gives an idea of Digsby as a living and growing entity, and besides, keeps us connected to you dev folks!) I sent you an email in this regard too, to which you sent a rather emotional reply. This is just to remind of that, with a little new idea, along with a lot of thanks and congratulations at the going-live of a very epic release!

Cheers!!

download link is not working

Hot keys would be magnificent.

Just to add to my above post
Right Clicking a buddy the following options do not work
Buddy Info
Send IM
Email
SMS

the rest of the options do.

@Rob: Sending you an email. Sounds like a problem with the auto-updater

@Dan: We're definitely considering adding that option

@VixOrien: That's a good idea. Added to the new ideas bucket for discussion

@Les: We will be adding an "advanced preference" section in the future and that will be one of them

With this new build I am unable to open up a IM window to message people.
double clicking / right -> Send IM both do nothing

Windows 7 RC x64

Previous version worked fine.

Another person wishing, praying for a mac version.. as someone mentioned above, it is the only single piece of software I miss from switching to mac this year. I got it running through crossover, but it was so sloooooow....

Digsby on the mac would be a dream.

hey love digsby but could u make the groups from facebook somehow transfer into digsby
thxs

When I went to install Digsby I had to use my admin password (not unusual) but the dialogue box description for Digsby said, "supersecret." Um..what's that all about? Do tell. ;)

Is there a way to disable the NOW SENDING AS option? For example, I have multiple AIM accounts (one for work, one for home, etc.) and if I don't notice I am signed out of one by accident and type to someone that isn't on that other list, that causes some BAD things to happen. I'd love to be able to disable that option or tweak it.

Can the "Conversations start hidden" thing be automatically activated when going "away" and automatically turned off when you're available? If it can do that I'll switch to Digsby forever and ever and ever

-Chris

How/where do I download Build 60?

The only way my sister, mother, other non CS friends would use digsby is letting them send their custom emoticons.
I dont't really care about that, but I want them to use Digsby.
I feel some times that the Fetures Requests are only from the ones that are using it, but it's important to care about the ones that may use it.

Looks great!
Is there any chance you guys are adding cycling alerts (like in Gmail Notifier or Google Talk) instead of just the first new tweet/message/etc without having to press the arrow buttons?

Also, being able to add select tray icons (as opposed to all) for social networks would be great as well.

Keep up the good work!

This release is great, and I've been a happy user of Digsby for a long time - thanks.

IRC support, Skype & Group Chat are all on my list of things I'm interested in seeing in the future, as well as Background downloads for updates and then notifications - I go a long time without rebooting my computer and thus restarting Digsby.

God im so glad i found digsby. I hated aim.

keep doing what your doin!!! LOVIN IT

meh; I left Trill Astra for Digsby. Trillian was getting too bloated. Digsby = light!

The one feature I'd love to see, and the one feature that keeps me from using Digsby, should be pretty simple I would think yet it's still not in the program near as I can tell. I want the buddy list to auto-minimize when the program launches. Every other IM client I've ever used has that option. I'm amazed that Digsby continues to insist on making me minimize it every time I log into Windows.

I second the Skype support, even just for chat. It's a pretty major chat protocol, far bigger than IRC, at least internationally. It's not that popular in the US.

Support for auto-away messages when the screen is locked would be #1 on my list.

Any chance of an RSS reader being implemented? That would be awesome. Or how about a 'notes' system, where you can jot down a 'to do' list or something and it remembers it, perhaps add check boxes so you can check off completed tasks?

Love the updated client!


of course, I have to ask for more...When are we going to get one status update that updates all IM's/Networks - the one status update to rule em all?
I noticed it's been asked for before on the blog but havent seen a response from you guys...

It's time for msn webcam support!

@xblade: In Preferences > Conversations

@Brian: Our chat history can definitely use some improvement

@All: We will definitely be adding support for other network in the future!

I'd really love it if it supported Myspace IM

how do you change the emoticon set in the new build? (sorry for the double post. Did not correct the other one)

Any chance we'll see past chat searching? The browsing and current "find" feature just isn't very useful. I want to be able to select a contact and search all past chats.

...would LOVE to see a windows mobile version. great tool!

How to you changed the emoticon set in the new build?

is there a chance to add a "psychic mode" ? it would be the perfect IM client

Sounds great, can you add friendfeed support and myspace update status &bulletin support without having to login to myspace? Thanks!

I would really like to see myspace IM. That's about the only thing i miss from pidgin. i really like the ability to tweet on digsby.

thank you!

Thx so much! I would buy all of you a beer.

mac version please??? Digsby is the only thing I miss from windows

Please, please, please, *pleeeeaaase* add Ping.fm support! Please!

I can't wait for Skype Chat support (don't care about voice frankly). I'm currently using Miranda for that, and it works, but it's not the most user friendly multi-client IM system. If it had Skype, I'd only use Digsby. Everytime I've demoed Digsby to see the new features, I love it even more. But back to Miranda I go since everybody at work is on Skype (grrr).

I would use Trillian Astra, but I don't think it's ever going to be out of beta, and it's such a massive amount of bloatware now, it's gotten annoying.

Digsby is like the "just right" size a la Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Miranda being "too small" and Trillian being "too big"). :-)

Google calendar and Remember The Milk support would be fab beyond fab. Pretty please?

Mac Client?

Please fix the problem where avatars do not show for other contacts or vice versa. Also webcam support to where you can view people on msn, yahoo, aim..etc without a third party app. Skype and myspace messenger would be great. Possible solution to keeping digsby free but have clean installers without the adware. Smarter Gmail interface. Smarter alert interface for twitter and facebook.

@SmockLady

Well, there is Adium, which is just about the same...

I would still love to see support of the Zune software with the "Listening to..." status

It would be great if Digsby would log you into Twitter and Facebook like it does with Yahoo! Mail/Gmail and Myspace. I.E. opening home page instead of logging in physically each time.

Mac please :)

What about OTR encryption? Come on now.

I've been a big fan of Digsby. One thing I'd like to see is an option to update Multiple statuses at once (twitter, facebook, etc)

love this tool ...

would be perfect with irc and a boss key feature ;-)

I've still been waiting for Myspace IM since "Mike the Digsby Developer" said he would be getting to it personally 16 months ago.

for the Mac please?!

Digsby is by far the best client I've used, though I agree with Bradleycorn that it seriously needs group chat, and also some Linux support would be great! Keep up the great work though, I've loved it since the start, and I love it now!

I really love Digsby,
Let me try the new features and get back to you with my feedbak :)
Great App you have guys!

@Olivia: Customizations should be placed in your Windows user folder. That one is not touched by Digsby update. This functionality is not done yet so it's not officially supported but there are instructions here: http://forum.digsby.com/viewtopic.php?id=2879

@Jeremy: IRC is on the to do list but not as high up as some other things like group chat. We'll definitely add it in the future though.

@Sebastian: Just drag them on top of each other to make "merged contacts"

IRC, Protocol specific emoticons, Skype support, buddy alerts, support for the new Win7 taskbar's additional functionality would be good starts, i also hear group chat is a big one.

other than that having steam and xfire support would be cool too, not sure how possible though.

keep the updates coming for sure. i'm hoping the next alpha release is packed with new features.

wow great! Thanks for the update!
Let's see, what's missing... I agree with Lester Forbes: RSS feeds. Oh good grief that would be great. Sync it with Google Reader and well, there aren't words.

Still would like to see an individual friend alert, as opposed to notifications for EVERYONE on the buddy list, if i'm waiting on a specific person to sign on. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

How about IRC support?

"This update is pretty large so the auto-update may take some time to download or it may take a few restarts for it to kick in. We are going to change how the auto-update system works in the future so Digsby logs in and then downloads updates unless there are critical protocol fixes. It will then apply the update next time you run Digsby. This way logging in is never delayed."

And those of us that never logs off?

Hi and great news. Congratz on the release!
One feature would be most welcomed: Contact Profiles.. I have many friends at the same time on MSN, Jabber, GTalk, facebook, etc. If this overlapping could be removed (lets say we can choose which protocol we want to prioritize) it would be fabulous.
Also group filtering for facebook (I have groups I don't want to see on the list)
Thanks!

Any Word on IRC? That would be super awesome.

"We are going to change how the auto-update system works in the future..."

I hope this includes working it so customizations aren't messed with!

RSS feeds?

Everything sounds good, downloading now.

That said, is there any chance you guys will add the ability to update digsby without restarting?

What really is lacking in digsby is some sort of identification of the blocked contacts in contact list. Man, that is basic... apart from that, that's a really great release

Err ... sorry for the duplicate post there. Apparently there's a javascript error when posting comments via IE at http://digs.by/k

@Bradleycorn: We hear you loud and clear :)

When can we expect work on a Linux client?

Marry me Digsby, you're perfect.

I left Digsby awhile back for Trillian Astra, which is gret. Implement group chat, and I will give serious consideration to a return to Digsby.

how about an RSS feed ? that seems like the only thing that's missing on Digsby ! I Would LOVE LOVE an RSS feed on digsby
