iChat doesn't display Facebook friends in groups anymore

I have had my Facebook Chat and iChat linked (using Jabber) since I got my computer in March. From day one, Jabber/iChat displayed my Facebook friends in the groups I have for them on Facebook, however today when I signed in on iChat, all my Facebook friends were in one giant group called "Facebook Friends" and my old groups for them no longer appeared on iChat. How can I get my Facebook friends to appear in groups again?

Hi,


I have seen something like this before.


The person who reported it said they found their settings at Facebook had been changed (Update ??)

This restricted the number of Buddies in any one Group and messed up allowing apps like iChat to "See" the groups properly.


I would start at Facebook and check the settings on your Chat Buddies.
