I'm using Adium for Microsoft Messenger, and I can only see some peoples display pics, and not others. I know that these people have one too, but I can not see it, just the damn red duck! What the hell is going on?

More info:

In the contact list it shows the MSN butterfly, and in the message window its the Adium duck. I know these people have display pics as I logged in with the Microsoft Messenger and it displayed them fine. I think maybe Adium has trouble loading display pics?

I dont have this problem, I either get the butterfly, or the user's display pic.

The only thing I can think of is the user using a non-standard size image? I know there were plugins available to let you have an image of any size and proportion. Just a thought.
MacBook Pro | 2.16 ghz core2duo | 2gb ram | superdrive | airport extreme
iBook G4 | 1.2ghz | 768mb ram | combodrive | airport extreme
iPhone 3GS | 32 GB | Jailbreak, or no Jailbreak

I'll check it out at the website, hopefully I can get it working.

I have noticed a few things about MSN and display pics:

1) If the user changes a photo while you are logged in, you don't see the change. Sometimes not for days, sometimes after logout/in.

2) Toggling the 'use address book images' on or off doesn't take effect straight away. It used to.
