Pidgin facebook IM protocol line

I spent my last 3hours trying to remove this annoying line from Pidgin facebook IMs. Does anyone know how can I make it disspear? I just want messaging to look clear and compact

Solution

  • Set an alias for yourself. Setting one in facebook directly might work.

    If not check the Accounts->[your facebook account] menu for a Set nickname menu item or Set User Info menu item.

    If those don't exist or changing them doesn't help your problem then a local account alias definitely will. Select the Accounts->[your facebook account->Edit Account menu item and then fill in the Local alias field.

    None of these will remove that line but they will control what you see for yourself on that line.
