My fianceé was telling me that she noticed when she put her iChat (v2.1) away msgs in her own words. In some time later, iChat chaged to another away messages that she have on her away message lists. Why's that?
Any way to fix this error?
Thanks

Just clarify this a bit please.
Do you mean that she (a) set a custom 'Away messge' to, say, 'Gone to the shops' and (b) at some point later it randomly jumped to another of her custom messages, say 'Getting some food' or something...?

Yes, that's correct. Her customs messages changed to another custom messages.
Sorry for being not clear.

Well, assuming you have no iChat plug-in type software running, this seems unexplainable. I reckon you are in 'trashing the prefs' territory as the next course of action.

Well, if you look in your Home folder, in ~/Library/Preferences, there is a file called com.apple.ichat.plist. This is the preference file for iChat and something odd might have happened to it. If you remove this onto your Desktop, and relaunch iChat, it will need to create a new .plist file. If your original was corrupted, this could solve the problem. There are other iChat .plist files which you might wish to do the same with.
If you only remove them to the Desktop and not trash them, if something funny happens when iChat starts (it forgets all your AIM settings, for example), then you can always put the file back.
In your case, I am not so sure this is will work. It might, and you will do no harm by fiddling about as I have explained. Hope this helps. Good luck.
