From 30ce1ced040c44c528d0a6e6e9c6b10a1caf1052 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wilmer van der Gaast Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:30:51 +0000 Subject: Killed the parameter to "account add" and changed the default server for OSCAR to what both login.icq.com and login.oscar.aol.com resolve to these days. There's no need to specify a server anymore so why bother. And cleaned up the docs (removed all references to those OSCAR servers). --- doc/user-guide/commands.xml | 12 ++++++------ doc/user-guide/quickstart.xml | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/user-guide') diff --git a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml index ac9bdf11..b4efd967 100644 --- a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml +++ b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ - account add <protocol> <username> <password> [<server>] + account add <protocol> <username> <password> @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ - account add jabber <handle@server.tld> <password> [<servertag>] + account add jabber <handle@server.tld> <password> @@ -49,16 +49,16 @@ - account add oscar <handle> <password> [<servername>] + account add oscar <handle> <password> - Specifying a server is required for OSCAR, since OSCAR can be used for both ICQ- and AIM-connections.
