Description mahfiaz 2010-10-20 19:58:20 UTC 
Could you please elaborate the meaning of resource in the following string:
"This resource is already connected to the server"
Comment 1 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-10-21 09:08:07 UTC 
resource is an XMPP specific term. But this message could be use with other protocols as well for example if you try to connect to IRC using a nick which is already used or with MSN.

Maybe we should change it to "This account is already connected to the server" ? That would probably be clearer for lot of people. Thoughts?
Comment 2 mahfiaz 2010-10-21 10:06:48 UTC 
This is better, it definitely has meaning for a user.
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2010-10-22 13:20:58 UTC 
Another option is "This account is already connected from another location"
Comment 4 mahfiaz 2010-10-22 13:47:38 UTC 
It leaves out the possibility that user is connected from the same computer with another client, but IMHO it still is better.
Comment 5 Robert Roth 2012-02-07 06:01:41 UTC 
I like the version from comment 3.

improve TP_ERROR_STR_ALREADY_CONNECTED displayed error string

'ressource' is XMPP specific and not clear to most users.
Comment 7 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-02-08 12:30:10 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
