this seem to be a general issue when using a proxy;
I've tried it with 0.98.4 and 0.98.9 - in both cases a direct connection works, while http proxy (post method) fails with abookerror.

Hi dark flame,

do you connect with a proxy?
If yes, have you tried to connect directly with your portable version?

(If you are using a proxy, is it http (post method)?)

Hi,

rcversion has been set to 0.98.09 in the Release, so it's smaller than 0.98.9 from http://www.amsn-project.net/amsn_latest

Update:
this worked perfectly with 0.98.4, where rcversion was 0.98.04 and amsn_latest was 0.98.4;
The problem is octal interpretation (see here), so it will fail with .08 and .09 .

for the future we could change autoupdate.tcl from line 554

Code:

if {[scan [lindex $lastver $x] %d] > [scan [lindex $yourver $x] %d]} {
set newer 1
  break
} elseif {[scan [lindex $lastver $x] %d] < [scan [lindex $yourver $x] %d]} {

Hi Goth,

so the email address is something like this?
||_User.name_||@example.com

according to Wikipedia, this would be a valid email address;
the problem is, at the moment Windows Live IDs and Yahoo don't allow
Accounts with special characters except
periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscores (_)

Hi LarsBechNygaard,

have look at the aMSN Translations page.
As you can see on that page, there is already a Danish translation.

Have you switched the language within aMSN?

Hi jms,

have a look here

Hi justincase,

yes, there is a fix, and guess what, it's in the development version (SVN version) !
If you don't know how to get it, have a look here.

Hi khadiija,

please try the SVN version (Latest development version)!
If you don't know it, have a look here.

Hi river747,

have you tried the SVN version (Latest development version)?
If not, have a look here.

Hi imit6243,

about the 'Version discrepancy':
this is nothing to worry about; not every change in SVN is shown on the About page.
For more details follow the quote.

More clearly, the number shown in "about" is changed only when certain files are updated(TCL). If there is a new revision updating some other files (like binaries) it won't be shown in about

Hi Baif,

have you tried the SVN version?
If not, have a look here.

Hi rain,

for windows everything needed is already compiled;
have a look here

just delete C:\Users\Nicola\Desktop\aMSN\scripts\utils\macosx and use 'SVN update' again

on the other topic you wrote about lost configuration and smiles... after switching to SVN,
did you recover that before you changed the profiles path?

Are the files still at the old location (the ones you had before switching to SVN)?

yes.. I tried to copy the old amsn_config folder and its settings into the new svn path..

If yes, could you switch back to the stable version (close amsn; rename 'scripts' to 'scripts_SVN' and 'scripts-0.98.3' to 'scripts'; open again) an see if you have you smiles back

Is this way good? I was thinking to re-install svn version and try again..   

This shouldn't be a problem; (re-install svn won't help, I think)

just to be sure, the config, old logs and so on are still not appearing within SVN, not only smileys?

ok, this looks like you have downloaded the files with TortoiseSVN twice
if the screenshot is from 'program files\amsn' then all the files/folders with a tick mark and the the folder '.svn' are not necessary.
(all these are already in the folder scripts)

this should leave the following files/folders:
bin
lib
scripts
scripts-0.98.3
amsn (amsn.exe)
Uninstall (Uninstall.exe)
(maybe more)

about the smiles...:
are there interrogative points in the folder scripts?

maybe something went wrong with the files/folders copied in the new profiles folder;
how are the structured?
