Yes, I agree, and this should reduce the list a bit.

Some of our timestamps are provided by the server and some are tracked 
locally and depend on when we logged in etc so I think we can assume 
this is the reason for the confusion and move this to the forget-it-list.

The only solution I can think of would require Licq to keep a log of all 
changes and use that to figure out if a change was local or from the 
server (i.e. another client) and merge based on that. To me this sounds 
complicated and is either a low-prio enhancement or skip it. My vote is 
to forget it and just accept it as a limitation when using multiple 
client/instances for the same account.

Ok, the ticket isn't very detailed anyway

If a user changes encoding it doesn't mean it should apply to previous 
messages, so I'll just drop this one.

The complaint here is that spammers are added to list but I haven't seen 
same as messages in a long time now (just as authorization requests) so 
I'm guessing it's not as important any longer.
The description asks for a "Not in list" group which is something we 
already have so this might be possible to close as fixed depending on 
how you read it.

Yes, there is even a comment "The server has been fixed, so this feature 
no longer works." from Jon 2005-07-01 so I guess we can just drop it 
unless he can tell why he left it open.

>> 1461 [icq] Sending URL to multiple contacts is only sent to one recipient

Maybe, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I just fixed 1461 in 1.5-stable and I can't reproduce 844 so 
these are no longer an issue.

 >> 1646 [icq] Update all users floods the server
I just tested this and it's verified. With my 150+ contacts the server 
disconnected me when I requested meta information for all of them at the 
same time. So this one moves to the list of confirmed bugs.

Ok, moved to drop list

Ok, gone.


Apart from the ones discussed above, the rest of the tickets in group 3 
needs to be tested by someone who can reproduce the fault otherwise I'll 
probably just drop them. I thinking maybe asking on licq-users before 
dropping them though if noone can help me here...

There are also a few where Jon or Eugene have been involved, if you two 
are reading this feel free to comment on the following:

1428 [icq] Invalid login sequence being performed
     => Reported by Jon but not sure what it's referring to.

1445 [icq] Licq does not receive messages from icq 5.1
     => Long discussion with several patches from Jon and it looks like 
it got partially better (messages working but not file transfers). Did 
these patches get committed or did they just exist as attachments to 
this ticket?

1530 [icq] Server side contactlist damaged after moving users between groups
     => Confirmed as a known problem / Eugene 2007-08-16
     => Cause of problem probably found and will fix them next / Jon 
2008-04-21

1573 [icq] Charsets conversion problem
     => Several updates by author and Eugene but no solution

1592 [icq] Inspect why info requests between AIM owner and ICQ contact 
are not answered by the server
     => Task created by Eugene but no details on what requests it's 
referring to
