For the last few days my yahoo has been changing my status to available without my knowledge. I always log in as invisable and it still allows me to do so. However if I leave yahoo running and come back to the computer after a while – I find I have messages and my status has changed to available. At first I thought I must have done it myself without realising but it is happening far too often now. Any ideas?
Alot of people currently have problems with stealth stettings and changing status. As its most probably a yahoo thing, there isnt really much you can do.
I’ve noticed that this switching to “available” seems to happen more often with version 7.5 than with the previous versions.
I’m sure if you search this forum you will find some more posts on similar topics.
Good luck 🙂I’m not sure if you are using any other programs, or if you are truely away from the computer, but there are some programs out there that will change your status message.
one thing I have learned and may help here is that if your going to sign in invisable and remain so that if you do not check the box in preferences that says never show how long i have been idle after the alotted time being on standby or idle it can bump you off invisability.
an important thing to learn here is it is a good idea to go into your preferences and check everything out and read each function even if you think you know what is there and you may find in many cases the problems can and often are in our own settings. Keeping in mind that everytime a new version comes out that does not mean the prefences does not change as well.
I have this problem too. I’ve noticed that when I have the bandwidth full yahoo gets disconnected for a few seconds, and reconnects back automatically, unfortunately the status is set to Available after it reconnects.
If yahoo Messenger is not shut down after a option change to sign in invisible all the time and rstarted and a connection is dropped, you will sign back in visible.
Sometimes the Network has an issue and your stealth is dropped and yahoo has to show you as online…happens.
think about rubbing charcoal on your body to hide at night then it rains…unexpected problem eh lol.
