 I did some scanning and found there was a similar issue a couple years
 back - it's literally the exact same thing. It looks like it was
 technically resolved, but it's happening again, as I can attest. I'm not
 GREAT with technical stuff, terms and the like, but if you give me
 directions I could copy and find error messages for you - but I'd need to
 be directed where to go.

 However, generally speaking, it looks to be the exact same problem that
 was plaguing some people a good 7-3 years back: When trying to join an AIM
 chat room, nothing happens. I'll click on the saved room in my friends
 list, no window will pop up, and if I get invites I'm unable to join. I
 tried restarting computer, router, and Pidgin itself (even un-enabling and
 re-enabling my AIM account on Pidgin) and nothing seems to work. I updated
 to the newest Pidgin too, with no luck there either (it is nice that that
 certificates issue got fixed though, that was seriously irritating)

 I figure maybe you guys fixed it before and then in a new build for Pidgin
 forgot about it and didn't plug it in again - or maybe, in fixing the
 certificates issue, that thing got pushed out because code got rewritten
 somewhere or something. I don't know, either way I have this problem and I
 am reporting it. I read it can resolve itself within several hours, so in
 the morning I'll try at it again and see if it's resolved - will report my
 findings here.
