 ==== I'm using Google Apps with a non-Google e-mail address. Can I use Pidgin with this account? ====
 No, you can't. This is a server-side restriction. Anyway, using !GoogleTalk with a non-Google e-mail address (that is, an e-mail account that doesn't live on a !GoogleMail server) is not a good idea because these accounts appear to other users as <someterriblenumber>@talk.google.com rather than using something that someone could remember.

-==== How do I configure my Facebook Chat account? ====
-
-If you have set up a Facebook username, your Facebook username is your account username, and {{{chat.facebook.com}}} is the domain.  If you have not, things may be more complicated.  Fortunately, Facebook has a page which gives you all the information you need!
-
-Make sure you are logged into Facebook, and then load this URL: http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
-
-Click the "Pidgin" link, and you will be presented with step-by-step instructions, with your Facebook username identified.

 There are no known issues with MXit.  Any issues that arise from MXit should be directed to [http://www.mxit.com MXit], as they provide and maintain that protocol plugin.

+=== How do I configure my Facebook Chat account? ===
+
+If you have set up a Facebook username, your Facebook username is your account username, and {{{chat.facebook.com}}} is the domain.  If you have not, things may be more complicated.  Fortunately, Facebook has a page which gives you all the information you need!
+
+Make sure you are logged into Facebook, and then load this URL: http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php
+
+Click the "Pidgin" link, and you will be presented with step-by-step instructions, with your Facebook username identified.
+
+=== Why do I get a 'Not Authorized' error when connecting to Facebook chat? ===
+
+Make sure you're using your Facebook username (and not your email address) in the 'username' field.
+If you have only recently created a Facebook username through https://www.facebook.com/username then you may need to log out of the Facebook website and log back in again.
+
+Otherwise, 10 times out of 10 you've entered the wrong password.  Seriously.  Try it again.
+
+=== Why can I not move my buddies out of the 'Facebook Buddies' group? ===
+
+This is a new 'feature' of Facebook chat.  XMPP groups can be controlled by the XMPP server so any changes you make can be overridden.
