After upgrading to 1.3 all my ICQ contacts' names reverted from aliases I had assigned to them to just ICQ nicknames, which renders them all unusable for me.

So instead of manually going through hundreds of contacts to figure out who's who I was looking for an option how to use and display the person's real name (from ICQ profile) in contact list, however couldn't find anything else than just either a number, or a nickname (View > Contact Name Format).

Am I missing something, or this seemingly basic option is not present?

my icq account on adium can't connect! It shows an error message saying : The Client version you are using is to old. Please upgrade at http://pidgin.im/ : I visited the website but it's worthless, or I just didn't see any help there.
Surprisingly the icq account works on ichat.

Any ideas?

edit: ok it seems that this seems to be a big thing currently going on with the Icq network.
