   28MB of RAM usage is a SWEET decrease from the 50-60some that I was getting before. W00t, thanks for finally satisfying our cravings for the new build!

   Correction: 28MB was just at the start, when it was connecting and doing all that work. Now it’s at 18MB

   I’m very impressed with the improvements in this build! It installed perfectly fine for me and everything connected as expected.

   Memory dropped from start-up of ~70mb to ~30mb now and unlike before it holds a pretty constant footprint.

   Thanks!

   I found a pretty major bug with this new build. Sure, the memory improvement is great, but the new build has problems with cell phones. Using AIM, I can’t send messages to my cell phone or any of my friend’s cell phones. Digsby will think the message went through, but none of the cell phones receive it. As expected, Digsby does not receive any messages sent from the cell phones. I’m not talking about messages sent to somebody logged on AIM from their cell phone but SMS by messaging +15555555555. I’m fairly sure this is a fault of the new build because I tried it with the real AIM client and the old Digsby build (15142) and both work perfectly. I’ve submitted a bug report.

   I’m at about 32mb in RAM which is a big improvement.

   I submitted a bug report because I was unable to Add a Contact. The “Add” button won’t become available to click. Anyone else have this problem?

   The question I wonder though, will it ever be possible to be able to video/audio chat with people through Digsby the same way as MSN. I just tested it with someone, and they seem to get a link that you come to a page here on this domain where you video chat through the browser. Will future releases ever put the webcam window right in the convo window kinda like MSN?

   Overall, everything seems more faster though. I like it!

    I am quite excited to try this!
    Will enjoy the less RAM usage =] so thanks in advance for that!

11. Jeff Kremer Said,

    As a follow up: went from using about 70 K before, to now from between 19 K to 30 K. When completely minimized and just running the program with no conversations or anything active it only uses about 14 K which is also awesome.
    thanks again!

    how about having version numbers so we know if we need to update.

13. Karim Fatehi Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 3:20 am

    and hey, on vista x64, it still keeps above 80Mb and just starts lagging horribly at times.. im beginning to think its something that digsby doesnt like abt vista x64.. but then that needs to be fixed, because it is a popular OS.

14. Steve Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 8:57 am

    @David: We’ll take a look at the bug report.

    @medj: Did you choose a group to add them to? As for Audio/Video, we will add native support but in the more distant future. Implementing each protocol’s A/V support is a massive task and since we are able to offer it now in a platform-independent way it isn’t as high up on the priority list as some other projects. It also let’s us offer A/V for protocols that don’t have it at all like Jabber, Facebook Chat, and Google Talk (video)

    @Karim: It will auto-update and we will list the version numbers on the forum as this happens. As for 80MB, I don’t see how it could get that high. Can you submit a bug report using the Help menu.

15. medj Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 9:53 am

    @Steve: I don’t have the ability to select the dropdown to display groups. In my main window, I have “Contacts” and “Offline” since I have never created a group before.

16. Matt Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 10:55 am

    I’m really impressed with this new build. RAM usage oscillates between 18 MB and 32 MB. So far so good !

17. Jahk Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 12:53 pm

    Dunno if it is a Google hiccup at this point, but I am on central time and it keeps having problems connecting to Google talk… and actually, it just crashed as i was writing this message. It asked that I submit the report to Digsby but I am not sure it was sent.

    Restarted digsby and it is still having the connection issues… connected about 3 mins later

    hehe, what i just wrote was incidentally a journal. Hope it helps.

    Running it now. I’m bouncing between 10-20mb with 4 IM accounts open which is a huge improvement over what I had before. Also I noticed that animated emoticons loop now – awesome!

19. SillyHalfMexican Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 6:49 pm

    Oh my. This does work nice! Well worth the wait.
    When it first loads up, connects and loads the buddy lists, (MSN, AIM, Yahoo & GTalk) it has ~30MB usage. When it’s all done loading, ~15-20MB. When the buddy list isn’t in view, ~5-7MB! When it’s closed and has a few message windows up, 3MB! Holy smokes, great job. Windows do seem a bit more responsive. In the previous build, the message window would freeze up momentarily when I received a message. Doesn’t seem to do that anymore.

    Thanks for another great build Digbsy team!
    Yet another reason to recommend this to my friends who don’t like programs using a lot of memory, but want it to do a lot. lol.

20. Tybois Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 9:19 pm

    When checking for emails, Tweets, etc…my memory is around 13K, after than it drops to around 10K.

    No problems so far…nicely done

21. Doug Said,

    August 9, 2008 @ 9:22 pm

    @David: Is that a feature of AIM? Never knew I could send an SMS to a non-AIM subscriber. Is that what you’re implying?

    BTW – tried it to my cell phone and it doesn’t work.

22. Dylan Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 12:03 am

    So far, so good! I’m impressed with the Ram usage. Hovering below 20 Mb and is often times below 10 Mb.
    Good Work!
    I’ll let you know if I encounter any bugs.
    Thanks.

23. McoreD Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 12:53 am

    Great news and already can see the difference. Memory usage as others say is vastly improved. There were other random crashes which I managed to send via Crash Reporter. Keep up the good work!

24. McoreD Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 12:56 am

    Rewording medj’s idea: There has to be a way of integrating a browser window inside or adjacent to Digsby’s chat window to run the current web based A/V support, can it not?

25. x Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 11:22 am

    I just tried the new version on windows xp. I like the new notification bubbles and the new version looks sleeker overall. I will send any bugs i find

26. x Said,

    While the last “official” version was very stable I already had five crashes of the latest beta R16719 within some hours yesterday and today (crash reports were submitted for all events). Downgraded to R15142 again.

29. Adam Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 2:09 pm

    MSN is still broken.

    Instead of messages just not appearing, now when people message me they constantly get ‘This message could not be received.’

    Back to Windows Live Messenger I guess.

30. Steve Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 2:34 pm

    @mejd: You can type a group name in that box. If it doesn’t let you then please email us at bugs@digsby.com to let us know.

31. Justin Perlman Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 2:34 pm

    I downloaded the new build two days ago. While it’s true the RAM usage is way down, Digsby seems to crash on my system about every 15 minutes or so and seems more unstable. This is just my experience. The previous (current) build although using a ton more RAM didn’t have any major performance issues that I came across during daily use. I hope when this build (upcoming)is released publicly, it will be more stable, I’ll downgrade to the current one and keep an eye out for the release.

32. Steve Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 2:42 pm

    @Justin: Absolutely! We were expecting a drop in stability because it was a major redesign of the architecture and that is why we wanted to have some people test it before releasing to everyone. We have gotten some great bug reports and crash logs as a result and will fix the issues before release.

33. Brentt Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 2:57 pm

    I download the new build also, and I love the RAM usage. It is down around 20MB on my machine, and sometimes it’s even lower. Which is amazing.

    Also, I can’t find the feature in Digsby. But is there an area that allows me to tell Digsby to start up minimized, so I don’t have to see the sign in window or anything? Pidgin used to do it and I loved the ability to not have it pop up, even when it signs into the Digsby service, when I start up my computer.

    Either way, great work so far! I’ll continue to use the beta release until the final one ships out the door.

34. Jahk Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 3:42 pm

    I should not ask for anything more, considering how big an enhancement u guys have implemented here…. I am seeing memory usage as low as 3mb. Anyway… Please try to sneak in the control of the flashing taskbar on new messages. It really makes me twitch like i am about to go ‘postal’.

35. Hagata Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 4:47 pm

    Hi Steve & digsby team, just a question:
    I know it was really hard work, but as you “only” optimized code, RAM usage, performance and fixed bugs, what about the countless feature requests and improvement suggestions? Will they now be worked on really soon? Or will you continue to tweak such basic stuff? Bottom line: What is your roadmap?
    Would be happy if you’d post more about that!

36. David Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 5:50 pm

    @Doug: Yes. I’ve been using it for at least a few years. Instead of entering a screen name in the Send IM box, just enter a plus followed by their cell phone number including the country code and area code, +12223334444 for example. You can even add that to your buddy list like you would with any other screen name. The cell phone can reply to your messages using SMS and you’ll receive the messages like any other AIM message. However, this feature is no longer working in the latest Digsby release. I hope they fix this in the release for tomorrow. I use this often, so I had to roll back to build 15142.

37. Tybois Said,

    August 10, 2008 @ 7:36 pm

    I have noticed that “tweets” are a little slower via Digsby. Before they took about 2 mins to get from the person who sent them to me. Now, it is more like 10.

38. unruled Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 2:05 am

    thanks for this much needed improvement on the memory front. Please — keep it up ; there should be a consistent focus of attention to this throughout the digsby development timeline.

39. Syk0tik0ne Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 2:13 am

    looks alright so far, im down from 60mb idle to about 20mb idle, still a bit higher than i would like (ran other programs as low as 4mb) but this does have WAY more features and it is definitely an improvement, will report any bugs should i run into any

    couple questions though

    is there any plans for IRC support? if so, is there any ETA?

    ETA for Linux and Mac, i personally use Windows, linux and mac, and would like to see digsby ported over soon.

40. x Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 6:31 am

    I found a bug i clicked report bug

41. Steve Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 9:15 am

    @Syk0tik0ne: Yes, IRC will be added with group chat very soon. We will start working on those two within a couple of releases.

    @unruled: Agreed. The build after will do more to lower CPU usage.

    @Hagata: Absolutely. We try to prioritize and while there are a ton of feature requests the biggest complaint has been performance and CPU usage. No that those are in check we can get back to adding features and getting the mac/linux versions ready for release.

    @Jahk + Brentt: Those features are not there but we will add them. We are trying not to clutter up the user interface but the things both of you have mentioned have been requested by numerous people. We will add an “advanced preferences section” that will be a long list of all the little things we want to add in but haven’t for usability reasons.

42. fallen Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 10:27 am

    Memory utilization improvements are amazing! My one beef so far is that the installer killed all my skins and even after I reinstalled the Aero_Glass skin, while setting to that skin in preferences I got an error and the skin looks all messed up once set. I already sent in the bug report w/screenshot.

43. OxfordOption Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 12:45 pm

    I think I’m sitting @ about 37MB. Even with emoticon & messaging style customizations. Well done. Still a bit jumpy though. Slows down the IM windows every so often.

    Hey Fellas, i just installed the beta version but it stuck on the “Checking updates” part and go no where from there. Im behind a proxy, but i configured the access the right way, i had no troubles with the previous version. Thanks

48. Steve Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 3:56 pm

    @Ernest: That is one of the bugs that was fixed today already. It was proxy related. New build for testers will be up later today.

49. Luke Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 4:07 pm

    Thanks for the hard work – one little suggestion. I REALLY like the links to the amazon mp3 search in the “listening to music” status message…however I don’t really understand why you’re using a snipr.com url…why not just put hyperlinked text that says “Amazon Song Information” or something like that…either way the true url is hidden – thus no super-long URL, but one is informative and one is confusing.

    Just my 2 cents, I know you guys have a lot to work on, but this seemed like it should be a simple change (coming from a fellow developer

    Thanks again!

    Writing in some languages is still not supported.

51. Hagata Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 5:11 pm

    Hi Steve,

    I just want to hint at the fact that my IM history isn’t searchable since the newest build (I can access it though). It is reproducable in the way, that this is a problem with every (ICQ) contact. (I don’t have any AIM/MSN/GTalk buddies, so I can’t check it, sorry!)

    I did file a bug report anyway.

52. Bradleycorn Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 5:28 pm

    So far the new release is pretty darn good. It’s memory usage is much better, and the UI is much more responsive. It does have it’s issues though, which is to be expected with beta software. I’ve noticed 3 issues in particular with the new release:

    1.) It crashes seemingly randomly every so often. Sometimes when I’m not even doing anything. It always asks if I want to send a bug report, and I always say yes. Although I get no confirmation that it was sent, so I hope they are getting to the development team.

    2.) I have dual monitors. When I dock it on the right side of my left monitor and set it to auto-hide, it “auto-hides” by sliding off my left monitor and onto my right monitor. Then if I hover on my right monitor it goes crazy switching back and forth between the 2 monitors. Awesome effects! I submitted this bug report as well.

    3.) I know group chat isn’t supported yet (please please please bring it soon), but in the past, people could add me to their msn group chats. With this new version, that seems to be VERY buggy. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it works, but causes everyone to appear in the chat 3 or 4 times (which you can imagine makes the others in the chat not very happy). I’ve submitted a bug report for this as well.

    It does seem much better on memory usage, and the UI is much more responsive. All in all, a great job. Get these last few bugs taken care of, and it’ll be time to move on to full group chat implementation!!!

53. Olivia Mullins Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 5:46 pm

    I disagree with Luke, I think the link to Amazon in the “Listening to…” status is absolutely unnecessary, annoying, and cluttered. If there is a reason for implementing it, it would be much appreciated if it were an option in preferences. Other than that, nice work guys!

    Messaging cell phones using AIM is still broken in build 16760.

55. medj Said,

    August 11, 2008 @ 9:28 pm

    I just started Digsby about 10 minutes ago for the first time in about 10 hours. I have the new build installed. I saw the message on the login panel that it was updating. It seemed to have updated but then it said “Digsby needs to restart” or something along those lines. After seeing this message I thought I would browse the web for a bit, so I opened my Firefox 3.0 and then all of a sudden my computer just turned off. I restarted my computer and I can make it restart by opening digyby and then opening Firefox.
    I have tried letting digsby run for a bit with the message “digsby needs to restart” but nothing happens.
    Any clues what this could be?

56. Steve Said,

    Guys,

    Been running the release for a day and no crashes/stalls or hang-ups.

    Fantastic work. Sits quietly in the background when not needed, more responsive when in use and it seems the latest build is a memory hog no more.

    Brilliant

60. Dewey Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 12:49 am

    @Steve, @medj: I have the same problem with Digsby update on Win XP SP2 – I see BSD and then my PC restarts. Sent out the email. By the way, in Digsby logs it looks like it updated and closed correctly.

    Hi Steve,
    I use Digsby and i’m very excited about his functions.In windows XP and in Linux with wine.
    Anyway I have some sugestions.I have 5 yahoo acounts..and in digsby i have the same pic for each acount..so i wish to put diferent pics for each..implement audio video native is necesary because my friends, yahoo messenger users, consider verry anoyng to conect with tokbox, and some dont,t know what to do…and at least it,s better to put a slider for resizing budy icons in main window (like in yahoo for vista)and increase the maximum size(usefull for pics with details:)at ~100pcs.
    thanks for your work, and wish you all the best!

63. Hayden Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 7:22 am

    My digsby tried to check for the 2nd update, but it stopped progressing at ‘checking for updates’ and then my computer blue-screened and restarted. It did exactly the same thing a second time.

    I manually re-installed the new setup file snd that works fine. This is all on Windows XP.

64. Nick Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 8:15 am

    Now that the checking for update issue is fixed, I can finally test this. MSN still does not work for me. How you guys implement the http method and how pidgin does it must be different somehow, because pidgin works perfectly here at work, and digsby still won’t connect. Please oh please help; I want to stop using two clients!

65. Shawn Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 9:45 am

69. Steve Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 11:57 am

    @rick: This will happen if you never installed the non-test release. Is that the case?

    @juan: Use Help > Send Bug Report. It may be temporary network flakiness.

    @jahk: Had a couple reports of this and are looking into it.

    @Shawn: I think it is just coincidence but today’s build will fix a large chunk of the crashes.

    @Nick: It should be automatic. Can you use Help > Send Bug Report after it fails.

    @Hayden + 21csm: That is now fixed and will be pushed in a new release later today.

70. rick Said,

    These new builds are great! I only had one or two crashes so far – but lately I had been noticing Opera 9.5 was running extremely sluggish. Typing addresses into the bar was taking forever for each letter to show up.

    I killed Digsby and it worked great again.

    These new builds aren’t causing that slowdown in Opera anymore. :cheers: !

76. Ricky Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 4:27 pm

    how about the ability to specify an incoming port, before having it try random ports?

77. Mikael Fransson Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 5:31 pm

    I didn’t check before the upgrade but Digsby is steady at +70mb. How many accounts do you guys with 15-20mb have configured?

    I have 5 IM accounts, 3 email accounts and 3 social networks configured.

    And r16760 keeps crashing every 3-4 hours….

    /Mikael

78. Steve Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 6:14 pm

    @Ricky: It doesn’t try random ports – just the ones that we know work.

    @Mikael: The crashing will be better after the next build later today. As for 70MB, submit a bug report. Even with 11 accounts it should not be that high.

79. DJ Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 6:51 pm

    Memory footprint is definitely an improvement. I can now connect to MSN at work behind the proxy, previously this was not working.

    In regards to the performance and “snappiness” of the UI, it actually seems to have been reduced on my laptop. The buddy list is roughly three times slower when you initially open digsby and it is loading the contacts from all the accounts. I’d be happy to provide any specific details you think might be relevant to help address the problem.

80. Steve Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 8:17 pm

    @DJ: The build after this one will focus a lot more on the UI responsiveness.

    The new build says that the “Installer no longer includes the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable (so no more temp files in C:\)”

    Does this mean that the files that were already dumped in there in the last build will be deleted? I’d delete them myself but I get nervous deleting things in the C drive.

    I love the bug fix report openness. Well done guys.

84. x Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 10:27 pm

    ok i have run across a new problem. My digsby won’t auto update it does not install after auto downloading the update.

85. Ricky Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 10:41 pm

    I love it too. I decided to try the beta today to help out and I was surprised to see 3 crashes within a couple hours – of course I sent them every time. They seemed to be random and non-reproduceable.

    I did notice the extra files in C: and deleted them.

    Memory usage is lower but I can’t leave it on long enough to see what it’s like after 10-12 hours! Currently using 5 IM, 2 email, and 1 social account(s).

    As for the port thing, I know it’s not actually random, but I didn’t want to say “several different known ports”.. but honestly, wouldn’t being able to set an incoming port improve connectability?

86. Malachi Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 11:40 pm

    Awesome. With no windows open, it takes just 8mb of RAM. Great job, Digsby crew.

87. MuppetPants Said,

    August 12, 2008 @ 11:47 pm

    I tried Digsby before but gave up with the big memory. I’m giving it a second try now and loving it! Keep up the good work!

88. Phil Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 1:21 am

    I love the work you guys spend on this and the openness – the future of the internet!

    I have noticed a few things. When I try to open my client it basically loads up the “connecting client” again instead of just a buddy list. Furthermore, it seems that I can have multiple instances of a buddy list at one time. Like right now, on my quick start, I have 5 instances.

89. mm Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 3:04 am

    After upgrading from r16760 to r16808 “digsby need to restart” digsby ask for administrator account and password(i am logged in as normal user).
    After that i’ve got BSOD with:
    STOP: c000021a {Fatal system error}
    The windows subystem process terminated with status of 0xc0000005

    This happened twice.

    Regards!

90. Dylan Said,

    Thanks for the list.

    keep up the good work!

    After another native gadu-gadu client update I beg for gg protocol … but now serious … great job guys. Love new improvements.

92. Tim Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 4:15 am

    Now isn’t this nice, this concept of publicly releasing betas? Many will gladly help and find bugs while enjoying a new version, and you developers benefit from the flowing crash reports and user input. Win/Win as far as I can see. It’s amazing how much has been improved in just 2 days since the initial release of the public beta.

93. Hayden Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 4:18 am

    One thing about the installer, you might want to add those options about the digsby search engine and home page in a page prior to pressing install.
    If you look over on lifehacker, you have people complaining about being ‘forced’ to install these – and still not being able to find the options after being told about it.

    So for making those people a bit happier it might be good to changee it a bit…unless you want it to be obscure to get more installs/more cash – which is fine by me, since you guys are doing a great job that just gets better all the time! keep it up

94. Bryan Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 5:05 am

    Wow, this was amazing. I was running the latest stable build earlier today at about 70-80mb of RAM. Now, with 2 social profiles connected, 3 email accounts, and 6 IMs going, I’m running at 19mb. GREAT job guys!

95. Vikingdread Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 7:45 am

    I downloaded and istalled the new release yesterday and it auto-updated smoothly this morning.

    RAM usage varies between 12Mb and 35Mb which is cool.

    And I am very happy that I can now connect to my MSN account from behind my company’s firewall

    Had two crashes yesterday while doing nothing. None today. I don’t have a problem with it because I know you guys are still working on the final release and this is kind of intermediate code.

    Overall I think you did a great job. Keep it up.

    I’m almost ready to switch over completely from Pidgin

96. Arc Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 7:46 am

    I keep getting “Digsby needs to restart” when I run it and did that three times now and nothing is happening along with when I clicked “Forgot password” it shut down my computer.

97. Paladin27 Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 7:50 am

    Build 16760 was working well for me, but after updating to 16808 I can no longer see any IM messages. The IM container has no skin. It’s really weird, it’s like the inner skin for the message area just didn’t load, it’s pure white. I’ve tried changing the container skin, but even the preview in the configuration doesn’t render. Any thoughts?

98. Steve Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 9:08 am

    @Paladin27: Sent an email so we can figure out what went wrong.

    @Arc + mm + x: This was fixed in the latest build. If you download and run the installer, the next update should go fine. Let us know if it does not at bugs@digsby.com

99. DJ Said,

    August 13, 2008 @ 9:17 am

    I was auto updated to r16808 this morning, and since then I have already had two crashes (I sent crash reports after both). With the previous version r16760, I had no crashes.

100. Steven G Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 9:17 am

     no real issues for myself yet, loving the new release

101. Dylan Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 10:22 am

     I too have noticed more crashes in build r16760. I’ll keep sending crash reports.

     Thanks

102. Albert C Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 11:11 am

     Don’t get tired of saying it: Digsby is the GREATEST, but the file transfers on MSN accounts still sucks. I would have thought this was top priority???
     I do love the reduced memory footprint though.

103. djnutz Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 12:52 pm

     I can FINALLY use this at work! *twiddles thumbs*

104. DJ Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 1:08 pm

     I’m up to 8 crashes so far since updating this morning. Is there any way to revert back to the previous r16760 and disable auto updating?

105. Santosh Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 1:16 pm

     I have having frequent crashes for absolutely no reason. Three times in about an hour.

106. timmbo Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 2:07 pm

     ran the whole night and still using only 8k. beautiful!

107. Steve Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 2:18 pm

     @Santosh + DJ: We’ll push an update later today with more fixes for crash causing issues. The idea is to go through revisions as quickly as possible to get this thing ready for release. Running r16760 won’t help us find the bugs that are still left. If you want to go back to the stable version you can download it from the main website.

108. Photo Larry Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 2:42 pm

     Working great. Uses about 44MB of RAM (yahoo, aim, msn, 3 emails, myspace acct in use). Seems much faster. Good work Steve and team!

109. xorsyst Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 3:04 pm

     I was elated about the memory usage being way down. However, this afternoon, I restarted Digsby and I saw it auto update (r16808) i assume. I was using r16760 with no issues. After letting it go through the update process, my computer rebooted itself. I thought it was just random, and let it restart. Upon loading Digsby it did the same thing. I had to close digsby from the task manager before it caused another soft reboot.

110. xorsyst Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 3:10 pm

     I just went and re-downloaded the install for r16808 and now everything loads fine.

111. djnutz Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 3:26 pm

     Hate to be that person bringing up feature eta’s but on a priority level where does group chat rank?

     Thanks again.

112. Steve Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 3:35 pm

     @xorsyst: This has been fixed and the next update will go smoothly.

     @djnuz: It’s getting pretty high up on the priority list after this build is pushed

113. hdche Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 4:04 pm

     i returned to older version, because of restarting my computer 3 times …
     digsby said that it needs to be restarted, .. and it restarted my comp i know that you repaired this bug, but i will wait for normal update now

114. mebrelith Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 5:09 pm

     I must be the luckiest Digsbetester out there. I keep using it and it hasnt crashed, rebooted my box or anything. Oh and mem usage as low as 13M and as high as 27. Awesome. Keep up the great work!

115. Ace of Blades Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 6:03 pm

     Other than the inability to IM cell phones I’ve been updating with the beta releases and I haven’t crashed once.

     How long do you think it’ll be until a stable release will be finished, personally the builds have seemed stable but it seems its different for others.

     Oh well keep up the good work.

116. RJMacReady Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 7:05 pm

     What everyone should remember really is that this IS still beta software and its expected that you’ll find tons of bugs and crashes. Continue sending in the bug/crash reports and if you need Digsby for anything mission-critical, download the official version.

117. Dewey Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 8:19 pm

     The new Digsby is actually quite stable. I have only gotten one crash while launching halo. I think you can release it now.

118. Dewey Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 8:20 pm

     Maybe I’m just lucky, I don’t know.

119. medj Said,

     August 13, 2008 @ 8:34 pm

     I only had problems with the original release of the beta. I have had no problems with the 2 updates that have been released.

     Just looking forward to a few things hopefully in the coming releases.
     - Group Chat
     - Ability to start with windows minimized.

120. nostra Said,

     August 14, 2008 @ 12:56 am

     I installed new release again (windows reinstall) and it won’t even start now … I have Vista on Asus G2S. I’m hitting Digsby icon and nothing happens. Old version is running ok.

121. Steve Said,

     August 14, 2008 @ 9:25 am

     @nostra: It’s a Vista bug that affects only those who jumped into the test late. Next build we are doing fixes it.

     @medj: Both on the todo list

122. cianfarano Said,

     August 14, 2008 @ 11:20 am

     working very well, the only problem is I can,t add a yahoo contact.

123. andreww Said,

     August 14, 2008 @ 11:45 am

     Great build, memory usage is way down, I haven’t had any problems so far.

     It would really be great to get Songbird support on Listening To. I know it’s a pretty small player, but for those of us who use it, it would be great.

124. peete Said,

     August 14, 2008 @ 2:35 pm

     whats with the snipr link after the song being played display!? i want it gone!! at least make it an option, like “promote digsby.” Do I have to go back to an old version?

125. bel Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 12:10 am

     hi, i just recently started using digsby but unfortunately I have to revert back to my old messenger when all my contacts are not loading in digsby. I have edited the server adresses and proxy settings (yahoo and MSN) but nothings happening. Anyone know why?

126. Steve Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 2:43 pm

     New Build Live – see edit at the bottom of the post!

127. digitaltodd Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 2:48 pm

     you guys are doing a great job! digsby is now using only about 35MB. i am turning people on to this left and right. keep up the good work. the crashing has only been a minor annoyance for me will see how this new release acts.

128. Nick Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 3:08 pm

     Yay, I have been refreshing this post waiting for a new build and here it is (r16927)! My MSN is finally working! You guys rock, thanks so much! Bye bye pidgin forever.

129. a fan Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 3:27 pm

     I think Digsby looks like a great program and I keep checking this site to get the status of the updates, but I was wondering if there’s any ETA on a public release of this new build. I know you guys are working hard and want this to be as good as possible before you release it to everyone and so do I, but I was just curious. Thanks for all your hard work!

130. Steve Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 3:46 pm

     @a fan: ASAP of course. It looks like the crash reports died down with this new release so we will keep our fingers crossed but there are still some bugs that we need to iron out.

131. twoluvcats Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 3:49 pm

     I had to abandon the beta today. When beta was in use and I would restart FireFox, my computer would crash & restart. Not cool. Release version does not cause this at all.

132. SL83 Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 3:54 pm

     Probably a better idea to post a new entry that a new build is available via auto-update.

133. Matthew Lieder Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 4:41 pm

     Yeah, it is kind of a pain that I have to keep checking this post on their website to find out if there’s a new build out, instead of just letting my RSS reader inform me :/

134. Steve Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 5:10 pm

     @Matthew: Understandable The auto-update will let you know too but that makes sense.

135. Matthew Lieder Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 5:39 pm

     I leave Digsby always running on my computer and restart my computer only about once a month, so the login-trigger auto-update isn’t a good notifier either :p. Probably the ideal solution would be to send IM’s to beta-testers every time a new build is released, like you do for non-beta releases.

136. Steve Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 5:42 pm

     @Matthew: We stopped doing that a couple of builds ago because we end up DDOS’ing our blog even with a dedicated server. We’re working on fixing that too

137. Jesse Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 5:47 pm

     I used to use trillian. Now I use digsby and & love it!!! This is a great upgrade.

138. Drei Said,

     August 15, 2008 @ 10:26 pm

     Memory usage has improved! Nice work guys.

     Just a thought, maybe some of the bugs and/or crashes are not caused by Digsby, but because of the user’s hardware and/or some other software that were installed. Maybe those are factors on why you can not replicate some of the bugs.

     Keep up the good work! Thanks!

139. Jacob Parker Said,

     August 16, 2008 @ 6:04 am

     My ram has been as low as 3k now.

140. RJ Said,

     August 16, 2008 @ 11:34 am

     I installed this version on a Sony Vaio CR220E that is running Windows Vista Home Premium. It will not start up at all, reinstalling the stable version fixed the problem.

141. RJMacReady Said,

     August 16, 2008 @ 12:37 pm

     The Modern Bubbling conversation theme (and any of its variants) has a minor flaw. It doesn’t truncate messages. E.g. a maximum length MSN message (400 characters) gets displayed on one giant long line instead of truncating itself into a neat paragraph depending on window size.

     Just thought I’d point that out to you guys :3

142. Ace of Blades Said,

     August 16, 2008 @ 4:56 pm

     Everything seems to be running smooth.

     But I have a question, since I’ve been using digsby file transfers from friends always fail, I can send but not receive, I was wondering if this was just me or if its normal and if it will be fixed.

143. Omi Azad Said,

     August 17, 2008 @ 2:14 am

     It’s slow

144. Ace Of Blades Said,

     August 17, 2008 @ 8:30 am

     Everything’s been running fine since the last build so thank you for that

     I have one question though, whenever a friend tries to send me a file via digsby it always fails, I can send files but not receive so I was wondering if this was just a glitch on my part, or if its normal and will be fixed.

     Thank you for doing a great job.

145. Kadir Said,

     August 18, 2008 @ 7:40 am

     Hey! I want to tell you something. I’m not sure if it is bug but when I ran my AIM on Digsby it showed 2 buddies of me were online but when I checked the contact list with AIM, it showed 5 buddies of me were online so i tried to disconnect and connect AIM from Digsby but no result! There were still 2. Is there a prob with AIM plugin?

146. digitaltodd Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 9:28 am

     how is the mac client coming along? i am always so sad that i can’t take digsby with me when i leave the house with my macbook. i would certainly be willing to test any offerings you have on that front.

147. Steve Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 11:13 am

     Update 5 (above) – r16998 pushed

     Awesome update–running at 10 megs on a Windows Server 2008 machine…

149. Will Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 11:38 am

     The release right before 16998 was amazing, guys. MUCH more stable. Good work

150. Will Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 11:40 am

     Actually… I keep getting kicked from MSN…over and over… (16998)

151. Fernando Said,

152. hau Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 12:04 pm

     great improvements on ram usage.. idle around 19mb .. on minimize less than 6mb .. great…

     But one thing I can’t get to work even before the new beta was released. i’ve only icq contacts in my contact list. they are stored in groups on the server … i don’t want to see the offline contacts in these groups but in a separate group (offline contacts). I also don’t to see group with only offline contacts. i know there is an option in the menu but it has no effect. in old versions this feature worked perfectly … any idea?

153. Steve Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 12:08 pm

     Pushed a quick fix for the MSN disconnect issue we introduced. New revision is r17003.

     @hau: You can collapse the group. We didn’t want to make it so you can completely hide buddies since you can still send offline messages, SMS, and email. The “Group Offline Contacts” option puts them in the same group so it doesn’t clutter the buddy list. The “Hide Offline Groups” option hides groups where all buddies are offline but not the fake “Offline” group that is created.

154. Lukasz Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 12:32 pm

     Digsby’s getting better and better, and smoothly moves towards world domination.
     However!
     It still has problems with input of char’s outside standard latin alphabet because the textentry widget uses US(?) keyboard layout (or sth) – right_alt+a doesn’t work as it supposed to – instead of nice, happy ‘ą’ it select’s everything and cuts it.
     Not nice.
     (A bug report was sent few months ago, no only by me I think)

     Apart from that little thing – each build feels better than the one before.

155. Sven Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 2:25 pm

     Hi Steve,

     I get the Jabber error message “Authentification Error: SASL authentification failed” with R17003. Any hints?

     regards,
     Sven

156. hau Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 2:31 pm

     Hi Steve,

     ok that’s exactly what i expected from these options.. but i don’t see the “Offline Contacts” group.. that’s why i’ve to disable the “Group offline contacts” Option to see my offline contacts in each group to send a offline message..

     to hide the offline contacts again i’ve to disable “Show offline contacts”…

     to make a long story short: “Show offline Contacts” works as expected, “Group offline contacts” not.. unfortunately

157. muttley Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 3:59 pm

     Is there an ETA for fixing the RTL issues?
     Is it coming on any beta fix soon? or will we have to wait for it for the “official” release?
     I can’t use HTTP MSN at work with the official release, and I can’t use the beta because I can’t read/write RTL like in the official release.
     If you can make it happen in the next release it will be much appreciated

158. Peter Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 6:16 pm

     Having these updates off an old blog post doesn’t seem to be the best way to update users since RSS feeds don’t get updated. I have to keep visiting the same blog post instead of using the power of RSS like it should be.

159. SL83 Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 10:15 pm

     Bug with Gmail integration.

     When you enable “Always use HTTPS” on Gmail under settings, Digsby doesn’t work with gmail anymore.

160. Aries Said,

     August 19, 2008 @ 11:59 pm

     Wow awesome improvement on the memory. I use digsby before and I directly uninstall it because of its memory hunger. It only uses around 11Mb when I minimize to system tray. I’m gonna try further. Awesome job Digsby team.

161. Fernando Said,

     August 20, 2008 @ 1:39 am

     Thanks for the quick fix, great job so far with Digsby, the only thing that keeps it from being my main chat client is the small avatars, and the need to restart for other contacts’ avatars to update

162. hurricane Said,

     August 20, 2008 @ 8:03 am

     Have still the bug, that after remaining some contacts digsby get stuck

     when it stucks, there is no change in used memory.
     have already sent some bug reports…

163. Kadir Said,

     August 20, 2008 @ 11:21 am

     The new update hasnt fixed my problem:( Some of my online buddies on AIM appears offline when I use Digsby for AIM protocol….

     Afetr ugprading to r17031 there is an error whan digsby starts…

     Same happens after uninstall and clean install of r17031.

     This has become my favourite in 2 days. Added 7 emails, 5 IMs, facebook, twitter and Digsby used only ~30MB of RAM. No crashes or any error at all. Thank you!

     Still can’t connect to MSN over HTTP through proxy at work. It timesout trying to connect and then retrys, but never connectes. AIM connects through proxy as long as i set port for AIM to 80.

     Devs, Thank you for the Yahoo Authorize Fix! I had just put in a bug report a few days ago on my gf’s PC and now its fixed. She is ecstatic! Thanks! Also, The memory optimizations are great! Keep up the good work.

     I just upgraded from r17031 to r17139 and now digsby will not launch. Previous versions of the beta have worked fine. I’m using Vista Home Premium 64.

     Several error messages pop up when I try to execute the program.

     First error message: The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed

     Second error message: C:\Program Files (x86)\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL

169. Peter Said,

     August 22, 2008 @ 10:16 pm

     Just installed the latest patch and now Digsby won’t load. Get a msgbox that says:

     ——————————————–
     | The specified module could not be found. |
     | LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed |
     ——————————————–

     Then, another box:
     ——————————————–
     | C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL |
     ——————————————–

     I’m running Vista Ultimate (32-bit). The python25.dll is in the Digsby\lib folder…

170. Steve Said,

     August 22, 2008 @ 10:44 pm

     @Peter and Joshua: Thank you for reporting this. We know what broke in the auto-update process and it has been fixed. We’ll push the fixes in the next update to testers so it may break one more time :/

171. Codyp Said,

     August 22, 2008 @ 11:20 pm

     Same thing happened to me, just letting you know.

172. Peter Said,

     August 22, 2008 @ 11:36 pm

     @Steve – thanks for being so responsive and pushing out frequent builds of an awesome product.

173. Steve Said,

     August 22, 2008 @ 11:42 pm

     @Codyp: Working on a new build with a fix right now. Again, it will not happen after you get the new build so updating to it may still break.

174. Steve Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 12:02 am

     NEW RELEASE!

     If you had the issue of the update failing, download and run this installer:

     nice job!!

176. Zachary Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 1:57 am

     One thing I miss from Live Messenger was the ability to send images from the clipboard. Could this be added to Digsby?

177. hurricane Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 3:04 am

     GREAT WORK!!!!!

     also the bug, that caused 30% CPU usage of explorer.exe when digsby is running (on win Vista SP1!!) got fixed

     love you devs XD

178. Shai Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 6:27 am

     Steve, any possibility you guys are willing to add the word beta to some of these versions? its confusing.. you keep pushing small updates which I guess are not the official version just yet so maybe add Beta to every update post to avoid confusion

179. Tal Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 9:26 am

     wow thx for the update
     most of the bug are fix
     there no more crush for mean time
     there still annoying bugs.
     bug reports:
     1. aim: when some one send you a message it receive with annoying
     tags
     example: https://ssl.1buy1.co.il/default.aspתראה פה מצד
     ימין למטה…תראה מי מקום ראשון
     maybe the bug is in Unicode or maybe in Hebrew fonts. pls
     check that.
     2. in the message windows all the Hebrew bug are fix, but in the
     profile window on contacts
     the Hebrew words are in backwards order
     example: the words: שלום קוראים לי טל
     are display wrong like that: טל לי קוראים שלום

     August 23, 2008 @ 10:11 am

     Thnx for the new update!!!! AIM is working properly now! I wish there was a choose to decide which IM protocol I wanna be appear offline/online/busy etc. When I click appear offline, I appear offline on every IM protocol lol:( I hope u can make an update for this

181. kadir Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 10:13 am

     I mean choice* sorry

182. Oxford Said,

     August 23, 2008 @ 5:09 pm

     mem is down to 10 MB. Very impressed. Keep getting recurring issues of the myspace connection being lost. its not often but its consistent; maybe once or twice a day, every 2 days.

183. mebrelith Said,

     August 24, 2008 @ 3:29 pm

     Holy C! digsby-app.exe idle at just 3.5megs!!! This is a great leap from the ~70megs from some builds ago. Keep up the great work!

     By the by, anyone getting once in a while some msn spam? Cause its happening to me at least once a day. Just wondering if it could be something Digsby related or should I start diggin somewhere else…

184. Locke Said,

     August 24, 2008 @ 7:12 pm

     Does fewer fixes in the last release mean that a build is ready to be released to the public?

185. Kuro Said,

     August 25, 2008 @ 10:44 am

     @Locke The last update was pushed to fix people having problems with the auto updater. No idea when the public release is ready but I’m also waiting for it.

186. Brian Said,

     August 25, 2008 @ 1:02 pm

     I still get the following errors when trying to run Digsby:

     The specified module could not be found.
     LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed

     and

     C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL

     I am running Vista Premium 32 bit.

     I can no longer start Digsby. This occurred after trying to update.

187. StavyP Said,

     August 25, 2008 @ 1:16 pm

     @mebrelith Funnily enough I’m getting msn spam about 1 mail a day which passes the junk filter as of a few days ago, I have no idea what it’s related to though.

     Anyway looking forward to the final release of this update, I’ve been using Digsby since the first public beta and never had any problems with it, keep up the great work!

188. eDRoaCH Said,

     August 25, 2008 @ 9:07 pm

     closed and restarted digsby to get the newest update (r17185)
     now when i launch digsby i just get the windows error sound and then nothing. It is not running in task manager.

     off to download again, I love digsby just thought youd want to know

189. xabbott Said,

     August 25, 2008 @ 11:16 pm

     I am also getting the python errors:
     LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed
     C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL

     Vista 32 bit. UAC is off.

190. Operator Said,

     August 26, 2008 @ 2:06 am

     Thanks for the recent update!

     One question tho: How much will the performance be slowed down with build r17185?

191. RJMac Said,

     August 26, 2008 @ 1:19 pm

     Still having a few problems talking to people who are using web-based Windows Live Messenger (and clones). Namely, messages do not get delivered to me.

192. James Said,

     August 26, 2008 @ 2:53 pm

     I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but I can’t send files through AIM to buddies that are set as invisible.

193. jacob Said,

     August 26, 2008 @ 7:47 pm

     after the most recent update i am now unable to restart digsby after closing the program.

194. malcolm Said,

     August 27, 2008 @ 3:47 pm

     Hi, I have my school school email (random@school.edu) forwarded to my gmail and from my gmail I can respond to all of my emails from my .edu email address. I know that Digsby handles gmail and I was wondering if I respond to an email sent to my .edu email address from digsby if it will show up in the recipient’s email as from random@school.edu or if it will show up as from my gmail address. I don’t know if what I said makes sense, but if it doesn’t I can try to clarify. Thanks so much for your hard work.

195. Tevi Said,

     August 27, 2008 @ 5:17 pm

     @James:

     I have the same problem — the way I see it, it’s a “bug” in that I should be able to perform that feature…

196. Howie Said,

     August 27, 2008 @ 6:12 pm

     Latest release just downloaded. Digsby leaking RAM very quickly. Watching task manager, it ticks up about 100k every few seconds. I haven’t received any messages or anything. I have AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and GoogleTalk turned on. Email checking for Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo. Trillian and Facebook social networks enabled. Digsby can contact me if they need info.

197. Operator Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 1:50 am

     @ Howie:

     Simply fill out a Bug Report and the Developers will get the input they need

     You can do that by clicking “Help” > “Submit Bug Report” from Digby’s menu.

198. hurricane Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 5:01 am

     @Howie: me too

     but not so fast. every second about 2kB
     When working with Digsby much faster

199. Dru Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 4:35 pm

     I observed the same memory leak than Howie and hurricane but at a 2kB rate like hurricane. I submitted a bug report.

200. mebrelith Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 7:22 pm

     Hold everything! I just turned on the Now listening feature and a friend of mine noticed amazon links added… what the devil is going on? I don’t remember havin this “feature” before. And where can I shut it down?

201. Cybertimber2008 Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 9:15 pm

     Now this is how a testing group should work! Near daily pushes, and not waiting for a hundred bug fix count (or thousand like CS seems to be :-/)
     Just grabbed the 9:10 r17348 release on my VM, looking good. Not a crash yet in this fork.

202. Dylan Said,

     August 29, 2008 @ 9:32 pm

     I was just going to report a memory leak but I see that the developers already fixed it. That’s great!

203. Fernando Said,

     August 30, 2008 @ 11:34 am

     Are you planning on implementing MSNP15 anytime soon?

204. Chris Said,

     August 30, 2008 @ 7:03 pm

     Random bug: Msn chat, when clicking on sms tab you get an empty “to:” space, however, clicking on the call tab adds the name. Also, the name fills in when buddy responds or has sent you a new message.

205. Chris Said,

     August 30, 2008 @ 7:04 pm

     Same with aim, maybe just the messenge window in general?

206. Josh Said,

     August 30, 2008 @ 8:43 pm

     I really like digsby a lot but the main thing that keeps me from using it full time is that the file transfer at least on the aim protocol isn’t working. If I do a file send via trillian it works like a champ. But with Digsby it just hangs there until one of us cancels the send. Are you looking into this? I really would enjoy this feature and it’s all that’s keeping me from using this great client all the time.

     Also, any chances of “direct connection” being implemented? Sorry if I’ve missed that discussion before.

     Thanks!

207. Malachi Said,

     August 30, 2008 @ 8:53 pm

     So many updates….

208. McoreD Said,

     August 31, 2008 @ 3:30 am

     Great improvements with Digsby so far! I was also wondering if you guys are planning to improve the File Transer. The MSN file transfer is quite slow.

209. Sean Said,

     August 31, 2008 @ 9:46 am

     Digsby is all around great and getting better. I am anxiously waiting on the ability to chat with Skype users via Digsby. Any idea when this great capability might be delivered?

210. Call Me Crazy Said,

     August 31, 2008 @ 1:16 pm

     Got my first crash last night, completely random.

     I was using Firefox, had a chat window minimized, recieved an IM (via AIM) from someone I was already in a chat with, and it crashed.

     I reported it, but, it can’t be reproduced, obviously. Just random. Oh well, it happens. Digsby is too good to me to bash on it!

211. JC Said,

     September 1, 2008 @ 2:37 am

     Man, you sure are rolling out those updates! Hope digsby becomes the most popular multi-IM around! (I’d say it’s on its way)

212. Randy Said,

     September 1, 2008 @ 2:20 pm

     What happened to the drop down selection of status messages from the top of the buddy list window? It seems to have disappeared in this last update. At least for me it did.

213. Olivia Said,

     September 1, 2008 @ 7:45 pm

     Still rooting for the option to remove Listening To… links here.

214. KuriKokku Said,

     September 1, 2008 @ 11:34 pm

     It seems that my sounds and most notifications are gone.

     The settings are all correct, and I’ve disabled and enabled them again with no avail. I can’t be sure if it’s this latest release that’s done it, but restarting Digsby doesn’t help…haven’t tried rebooting the computer yet.

215. Steve Said,

     September 2, 2008 @ 11:13 am

     @KuriKokku – You set your preference to disable notifications while “Away” so there will be no sounds or popups while your status is set to Away.

     @Randy – emailing you for follow up info.

     @JD – we’ll keep pushing to make it even better!

     @MCoreD + Josh – we have some critical connectivity issues to resolve and then we will take some time to make file transfers solid.

     @Chris – You need to enter an SMS number

     @Fernando – Absolutely.

     @malcolm – It will show as if it came from your gmail account I think. Test it out though. The gmail servers may override if you set it to always reply from the address it was sent to by default.

216. Randy Said,

     September 3, 2008 @ 5:06 pm

     In the latest update, for some reason my AIM account keeps randomly getting unchecked in the “IM Accounts” in the preferences screen. I am connecting to AIM, Yahoo, and Facebook. The others are working fine, but the AIM gets unchecked for some reason.

217. Nathan Said,

     September 3, 2008 @ 5:57 pm

     17431 – Spell Check still dead

     But on the bright side, the last few released builds haven’t crashed at all!

218. Chris Said,

     September 7, 2008 @ 2:35 am

     Great job guys on r17380! I’m still drooling for the next release though! Hopefully on Monday, it’ll be here! I actually like the new URL when you’re listening to a song. For me, it actually doesn’t display on msn….the whole song just shows as a link, and will actually link over – which is really nice! It’s been like that since the snipr url was introduced earlier. I have not had a single crash yet – and, everything’s working as normal. Actually, i can’t say that – because, at odd times, it will freeze, and will freeze everything else. But, that’s not all Digsby’s fault. It’s also Firefox 3’s fault – and, Google Chrome’s (Yea, i figured i’d check that one out too since i seem to beta testing things that i can’t even begin to count on both hands lol.)

     I’m really anxious to see the “Promote Digsby” thingy though – i was like, a few hours off getting 17431, but, then, it reverted back, so, i was kinda screwed for the update – and, i guess all for good reason.

     Anxiously waiting and drooling guys – can NOT seem to wait to see what else ya guys have up your sleeves

219. Ben Said,

     September 7, 2008 @ 3:43 pm

     Hey guys, great job with the recent build. The only problem I still have though is that I can’t receive or send files most of the time. I really don’t know why. I’m using Windows Vista SP1, the windows firewall permits digsby. Any idea of what’s up?

     Thanks.

220. Call Me Crazy Said,

     September 8, 2008 @ 1:53 pm

     Any idea of when the next release is coming out, testing wise? On the 3rd you stated it would be out the next morning with a fix for the freeze, and well, it’s the 9th now. Still nothing.

     Just wondering, cause I’m ready to find more bugs and get this perfected! =]

221. loof Said,

     September 8, 2008 @ 7:46 pm

     I miss spell check.

222. Randy Said,

     September 8, 2008 @ 8:34 pm

     Build 17380 –

     I’m still having the problem with it disconnecting me from my AIM account, but I think I know what causes it. (well, more like when it happens)

     Everyday when I leave my apartment, I lock my computer so my roommates don’t mess with it. When I come back, seems to be about 25-50% of the time or so, my AIM is disconnected. This doesn’t seem to happen if I don’t lock the computer, so I am thinking the two things are related somehow.

     It is still only AIM though, Facebook and Yahoo! IM systems are still connected. I am also still connected to everything else… 2 MySpace accounts, 2 Yahoo! mail accounts, and my Facebook account… but AIM disconnects. Seems weird.

223. Chris Said,

     September 9, 2008 @ 7:06 am

     Steve….i have a suggestion! I got to thinking earlier tonight…and, realized something I dunno if it’s already in there….a way that you can maybe have a feature that supports alerts for RSS feeds from say, Google, MyYahoo, My AOL….etc? I don’t even know if it’s possible (You’re the programmer Hope there is some way – cause, i’ve been getting into RSS feeds alot now too – and, realized that Digsby doesn’t have them lol

     I’m sure i’ll find some other things useful as i go along lmao.

     oO

224. Peter Said,

     September 9, 2008 @ 11:37 am

     Just to update – still not having any major issues with Digsby. RAM usage is under control and it works. I would like to put in another plug for group conversations, though. It’s been at or near the top of the feature request list for some time now and is something that we use at work.

     On the whole, I like the work you’ve done. I appreciate the regular updates and have not had to fall back to any other IM clients so far. The worst problem I have is that others have to add me to group conversations.

225. malcolm Said,

     September 10, 2008 @ 2:36 am

     I know people keep asking this, but when is a public release coming out? It’s been almost a month. Right now it looks great.

226. Ryan Said,

     September 10, 2008 @ 11:22 am

     It’s nice to see progress with the builds. Keep up the great work guys.

227. David Said,

     September 10, 2008 @ 10:52 pm

     I’m having a problem with my saved status messages. On one computer, I have build 17525. On another computer, I have the last “offcial” non-testing build. If I’m signed on with build 17525 then go on the other computer and sign on, then my status messages somehow get erased.

228. Arges Said,

     September 11, 2008 @ 9:56 am

     I’m still having allot of memory issues, as well as some other minor glitches. For instance, when i try to resize one edge of it, the bottom extends down too. Also, when i hover my mouse over a ‘buddy’ the little pop-up window takes about 30 seconds to load, and then sometimes won’t go away

229. OzzyOne Said,

     September 13, 2008 @ 3:21 am

     Great. All it needs now is to show recived smileys and a way to send them, and I can convert my girlfriend to this great program. This is the only thing stopping her. She can’t talk to her friends without her own smileys…

230. neaghi Said,

     September 13, 2008 @ 5:04 am

     great work!
     I use it on linux and last update work, the intermediate not..i want to ask if you plan to use different buddy pictures for different accounts…thanks!

231. neaghi Said,

     September 13, 2008 @ 5:09 am

     sorry for double post but, i want to say..this feature, different buddy icons for differents accounts is present in all multiprotocol IM programs like Kopete, Pidgin..so that is normal..

232. Danny Said,

     September 14, 2008 @ 4:54 pm

     There is a problem with latest build, the “Listening to…” feature doesn’t seem to work anymore? I’ve tried restarting digsby and winamp but same problem, this happens to my friend as well.

233. Alberto Said,

     September 14, 2008 @ 9:50 pm

     For some reason the last 3 or so builds have caused crashes that never occured before.

     I have reported them but its very strange and seemingly random.

     I love this thing though

234. loof Said,

     September 15, 2008 @ 11:33 am

     I realize that you’re trying to make the windows version stable but have these builds been pushed out as the regular updates yet? IMO, the current build of Digsby is worlds better than the version previous to this post.

     I’m mostly just sick of having to check this post for the latest update. It makes it tough to tell whether something I’m experiencing is new or from the previous builds. With separate posts I can just take a look at the comments to get an idea of what’s going on.

235. Ray Pennisi Said,

     September 15, 2008 @ 6:14 pm

     I have a crash with the two latest builds if I try to add a contact and I select anything other than AIM (have) or ICQ (don’t have).

236. Cybertimber2008 Said,

     September 15, 2008 @ 10:20 pm

     Errm… 24?
     Update 23 (9/15/08, 5:30pm): We just pushed an update (r17600) to all that are testing. Fixes include:
     Fixed some crashes
     Update **23** (9/15/08, 8:10pm): We just pushed an update (r17607) to all that are testing. Fixes include:

239. Codyp Said,

     September 17, 2008 @ 12:04 am

     The update that was just pushed asks for admin name and password. I type in the correct info and i get “critical error in backibng up digsby.exe access is denied.”

240. Codyp Said,

     September 17, 2008 @ 12:11 am

     Manually updated and it worked fine.

241. NOFXmike Said,

     September 18, 2008 @ 5:54 pm

     I just installed Digsby and absolutely love it. I’m so glad I switched from Trillian…and Pidgin doesn’t have the features either.

     Anyways, about the RAM usage: immediately after install, after 30 minutes of use, it’s using 148MB of RAM. That being said, most people have 2GB+ of RAM these days, so it’s not that big of a deal for me.

     Thanks!

242. Indigo Said,

     September 19, 2008 @ 8:43 pm

     This is probably not a bug, but it is really annoying – I have to reinstall my custom emoticons every time Digsby automatically updates.

     Also, AIM file transfer is still not working.

     Keep up the work, it’s getting there

243. Indigo Said,

     September 19, 2008 @ 9:11 pm

     And after r17722, I can’t recieve messages from my buddies on AIM?

244. Jason Said,

     September 19, 2008 @ 10:17 pm

     Since the new build this morning (17745) GChat is flapping like crazy… up and down, up and down. As soon as it’s online it’s instantly off, then re-authenticates and goes offline again, over and over.

     With so many updates going on recently, i’m starting to hate the update method. this all sing-on -> download -> restart -> sing-on again is just too bloated.
     What about notifying about updates, then downloading, and then restarting when I WANT TO. sometimes I just need to login urgently (yes, i know this is beta an all) to find someone on chat for a short thing, but i have to wait the whole download…

     please consider this the next time you review the update process.

     New build works great.

     Anyway we could have it display the currently playing song in WMP11? And change the default saved log directory?

     I gotta agree with Olivia on this one I’d much prefer to have an option to turn off the “listening to” URL it just looks a lot more cluttered instead of just having the song
