Hi,

Today I got all duplicate of Facebook Chat contacts (using Jabber plugin). I notice the contacts facebook chat id has different prefix now, previously the prefix was "u" and today it is "-".
This cause the duplicate and I have to merge ALL the contacts all over again. This also cause duplicates in Conversations.

I tried adding the contacts using their facebook username@chat.facebook.com, but it's not working.

Anybody have any idea or solution? I've reported this to Facebook Chat bug report page.

Anyone using Jabber service for facebook chat? If yes, did you face similar issue?

I don't think this is an unmerge issue: Facebook seem to have changed the format of the uids. I use Jabber for Fb chat and have encountered this snag.

Yes it's not a bug with the N900, the same happened on my PC on Empahty.

there is no 'solution'as it is just a change in how facebook is creating their jabber ids. i suppose one could write a script to attempt re-merging automatically, though

Yepp, same thing happened to me. Luckily i only had to merge about 50 contacts, i'm not that well-known ;-)

But its a pain in the butt, you're right. And its not a bug at all (at least not of our phone).

Worst thing is, that i really try to keep my contact list tidy, and this sort of things messes everything up.

Well, i think we'll have to live with it...
