Resolved Tiger iChat Facebook Chat

[roadbloc]

Facebook chat on my G4 is getting horribly slow in TFF. Remembering I could use iChat for such things, I gave it a spin. But I can never seem to get it to work.

This is the error I get.

These are my server settings.

Is there any way to fix this? Have I got any of the server settings wrong? Perhaps the most concerning matter of all is that the password box appears to always contain a password with more characters than my facebook password has... is iChat attempting to use a different password every time? And if so, how is this fixed?

Any help appreciated.

You might try Adium. Adium has several services, of which Facebook is one of them.

Well Adium is good too but I still prefer iChat even for Facebook.
Anyway you're having some issue because I read somewhere that Facebook is going to stop using the "Facebook email" service and I think this is having consequence on third party software used for Facebook users chat.
