A couple of days ago I logged into one of my IM accounts with iChat to test something out when I noticed my main iChat accounts was online…but I clearly wasn’t (yes, I have myself added as a friend on my other account :P ) I logged into Adium which was showing this account as offline, but I logged out again just to make sure. I thought maybe iChat had automatically logged in as I fired it up, but in iChat it wasn’t online. I didn’t think anything more of it until yesterday I saw the online status next to my iChat username in Facebook. Again I logged in through Adium to make sure, but this account wasn’t logged in. Strange behaviour and quite frustrating as I hope my contacts didn’t think I was online and ignoring them…especially if they sent me messages. If you did then I apologise but I most certainly wasn’t online. I rarely ever log into IM (once every 3-6 months usually) but I’ll leave my explanations for that for another time ;)

Anyone else experienced funky behaviour like this from iChat?
