I'm using the mac version of yahoo messenger and with my msn contacts I cant use the webcam to chat! I can chat normally but the options for web cam and voice conversation aren't available (options are shown in grey and aren't clickable )! Is this normal and if not how can I "fix" this problem?

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.
