MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ contacts in iChat!

When chatting with AIM users, can you see their avatars and font's/colors in iChat?

Are you referring to while chatting through a transport with AIM users? I thought you always could see their font and avatar. It appears that it's the same for transport chats as well.

I still havnt gotten Yahoo working using any server, so its basically jabber/MSN, AOL and Bonjour windows for me.

I used jabber.dk which works just fine with Yahoo!.
It even gives you nice popup window when you receive email to your Yahoo! mail account (including the subject line, with a nice hyperlink).
 
Still can't get it to work

I have tried 4 different jabber servers, including the one above and still have the same problem. The remote user can see what I type just fine. When they reply, I can see the bubble, but when they submit, nothing comes across. :mad:
I would love to know what I am doing wrong.
 
I don't use, Jabber, Tiger or Yahoo. (well Jabber and Tiger, I'll use soon)
But could it have something to do with fonts ? It seems the connection is fine, since you get the bubbles. Could it be a render problem ?

Maybe ask the person to change to a different font, it's worth a try.
 
jabber yahoo servers

anyone have any luck using a yahoo jabber server? i've tried 4 and no luck, i can send message and my friends receive but i cannot see what they type.

a popular one that people used that seemed to work was jabber.org.uk but i cannot even register yahoo service with them.

any suggestions?
 
i've tried 7 servers and still no luck...i can send text but i cannot get replies :(

Well, after many hours of suffering, I have gone back to using Adium. Works like a charm. Just kind of defeats the purpose of being able to hit all IM's from one application.

can anyone who has successfuly gotten yahoo to work lend a helping hand?
ie: what jabber server are you using?
how is the yahoo/jabber im name supposed to look like?
is it name%yahoo.com@somejabberserver.whatever
or
name@somejabberserver.whatever?

i am using tiger & psi
I can talk to my contacts thru psi with no problem but not thru iChat...

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
 
Server for Jabber

Can someone suggest some Jabber servers to use as the one I tried to use doesn't seem to cooperate!

Try jabber.zim.net.au it works for Yahoo, MSN and ICQ
 
ok...i got my jabber account to work in ichat BUT i'm very lost here:

1.Can i have my jabber(msn,yahoo,etc) accounts in ichat's window??
2.How do my MSN,etc buddies to jabber???

thanks for any help :(
 
Thank and Yahoo!

Thanks for all the info. The graphical tutorial helped me get iChat setup for MSN. I am experiencing the same issues as everyone else with Yahoo!. I cannot see the other person's replies, just the empty text bubble. It works fine using Psi. Has anyone gotten this to work? I wonder if it's a problem with iChat?

Actually, I have the best option for everyone.... instead of having to use a third party, jabber.org.au has set up a web system that does it all for you!

Check it out!
 
iSight in msn?

once i set my msn contacts in iChat will i be able to view other peoples web cams and will they be able to view mine (im on a mac, with an iSight....they would be on a windows based version of msn, with a web cam)

I used Mundo Chat. Actually, you don't even have to install a Jabber client. Mundo Chat has a webmessenger in there so all you have to do is register a new account and add the MSN/Yahoo services. All I had to do later was to configure iChat to use jabber-hispano.org as my server. :D

if only my spanish is a lot better :(
