Gaim question


Recently I logged into my Windows partition (for the first time since I got Linux) and while I was there I blocked someone on my AIM buddy list. Then of course when I came back to Linux and connected using Gaim the buddies were still blocked. I couldn't find a way to unblock them so I went back to windows and unblocked them there. The problem is that Gaim just re-blocks them every time I sign in now. I also tried using the Linux version of AIM but it's pretty crap.

Can anybody tell me how I edit the block list using Gaim?

Thanks.

if my frequently wrong memory works today, you will have a .gaim directory in your home dir and there might even be a "blocked" file inside it, just have a look at the files in that directory and it should be pretty obvious what to edit.

Yeah, go under 'Privacy' and then select 'allow all users to contact me', then click 'block these users' again and the people you are blocking should show up now.
