Hi,
I am using Yahoo Messenger and almost all the time the status is not correct if we compares to WLM. The user on both software has the domain @yahoo.com and WLM the status is more precise. Yahoo shows me that some users are offline, but on WLM they are online (online is correct), messeges offline only are showed on WLM, not on Yahoo. Yahoo support didnt say anything about it. So, does anyone know how to fix it?
tks.
Unfortunately, it’s not an exact science when it comes to inter-operability. It’s not unusual for a status to be incorrect when comparing Yahoo to WLM. This really has to do with the information that the servers provide to one another and there isn’t any way to fix it. It’s just the nature of having multiple instant messenger programs speaking to one another.
On the brighter side – I’ve generally found that if the person really is online, you can still have a perfectly normal conversation with them. The only difference is the status indicator appears offline.
I’d depend on the service for true online status.
If yahoo contacts show online/offline on Yahoo! messenger then i’d imagine it’s correct been the true client to their server.
WLM just uses what it gets the brief time from the yahoo service servers, I wouldn’t go by it but i would for Live friends statuses.
But both services are not flawless and can have issues with “stuck” ids every now and then.
