Wolle / Nounomous,
To remove (or edit) a buddy pounce, go to the tools menu in the buddy list and click on buddy pounces.

Hi, I’ve got the same problem as Noumonous obviously has. I once added a buddy pounce to one of my buddys and now I simply can’t turn it off. Everytime he signs in, I get an alert. That annoys me somehow… The checkbox to repeat the buddy pounce is NOT checked. Is there any config file to edit maybe?

BTW: using opensuse 10.3 with gnome, if it’s necessary to know that…

@Magus: Buddy pounce will show up a window with the name of your contact by default. I think you have to assign a buddy pounce for every contact manually (not sure though)

I would like to have a Buddy Pounce which shows a pop up with the name of the contact that signed in for every contact.

Do I have to make a Buddy Pounce for each and every contact I add?

@Pallab: Yeah, I too hate to use it sometimes for the same reason. They still don’t support it. This is one of the most needed features, and it’s annoying that Pidgin doesn’t have it.

I dont really like Pidgin. One of the major annoyances is that file transfer’s dont work. They were in beta for such a long time. They should have atleast worked that out. Also I almost exclusively use y!m so dont really need pidgin.
