Adium error

I have tried to add in my adium my yahoo account and when it imports it, doesn't display the icons (avatars) of my contacts.

So I have even reinstalled the adium application and still it doesn't work. My msn and mac accounts work fine and I can see avatars. In the "Appearance" pref menu of adium I have set user icon on, in Messages pref menu, user icon is also on and in advanced settings I have it like this:







I also use Growl.



What can I do to solve this?



Instead of the user icon when I set the setting on, it displays the red "Y" sign from yahoo, instead of the avatar.

Could there be a setting from my yahoo account or something?

    For me Adium takes a while to update buddy icons, sometimes days. I think it is based on when your buddy updates or something. I cleared my cache once and lost ALL the icons and it took about a week for the defaults to be replaced.

    Ok, I will wait few days. It happened to me in the past to refresh really late some avatars, but never not to display the avatars of my entire contact list.

    I agree. I have used adium since 0.7 and the features were pretty much the same as this 1.0.3. Unfortunately the newer was the version since 0.7 more bugs occured to me. I don't know, this could be maybe I have Panther on my iMac G5, but adium is getting weird for me.
