Hi all,
Been using yahoo for a long time. Recently ive started to use version 8. Some people i chat with have told me they arent online or hadnt been online when i sent messages yet yahoo indicator shows they are. Anyone know why this happens?.
ideas?.Is it a ghost connection?.Indication someone *is* using it?.Noted using buddyspy it shows ppl are not online when indicator seems to…
thanks
NigeJust noted buddyspy doesnt work with v8.0 properly… but does it still ppl online offline in general?
Yahoo Messenger 8 is designed to refresh the buddy list automatically.
Sometimes it does not refresh like it is suppose to and thats why you
will some times see someone is on when they aren’t.As for buddy spy, it does not matter what version of messenger you are
using. Yahoo has changed the way the P2P works and completely removed
the go to user and follow users functions.The P2P being changed means that unless the person has the name that
you are using to scan them with on their buddy list it will always will tell
you they are offline.If you click the buddylist and press F5 like internet explorer it will refresh the buddylist manually.
The auto refresh on the 8.0 /8.1 builds has been terrible and hardly work at all, this is a issue with the messenger.
i doubt buddyspy will ever be fully working again to its full glory.
however yahoo have still left the goto user option on 8.1 so it may make a return sometime.
