Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I’ve tried both the second and the third selection, plus having the URL checked too with each of them, then I pressed save, …it works temporarily until I sign out…then poof it’s gone. Maybe it’s just a glitch? I did write to Yahoo asking but haven’t heard back yet, they probably have a gazillion emails like that to wade through I suppose. Maybe I should try a clean reinstall of Messenger, it might be something in there that’s not keeping it, who knows. (guessing now lol)
Oh my god I totally agree with you William, I don’t think I’ve ever cried over a movie so much in my entire life. Mind you I was alone and this tends to make a big difference to how much the floodgates are opened but still, it’s fantastic. And you’re right, Robin Williams is not the kind of actor you really expect to make such a serious movie nor has he gotten the credit he deserves for it.
it sounds somewhat appealing but I have to say it doesn’t wow me, you know? Still, if it works better than Yahoo messenger usually does that’ll be something lol. By the way I love your avatar, very cute!
😉I think (but am not positive) if you put your cursor over the name as it’s logging out on the bottom right it will stay there until you move your cursor away…that way you could have a better chance of catching what name it was.
I’ve had the same problem, people messaging me when I’m invisible and saying I show as online to them. It’s mainly been about a week for me too and I have no idea why, but it’s definitely annoying, …sorry I can’t be of any actual help other than to say you’re not alone.
I’ve had that happen to me before too, but not recently. (names not on my list appear to log out)…can you use buddy spy to take yourself off someone’s list? I have it and can’t see where or how you’d do that…maybe there’s two programs with similar names.
I never worried too much when I saw it happen just because I’ve always felt Yahoo was pretty ‘mixed up’…to be polite lol
this topic seems to have gone astray from what I originally meant.
to marie132: I’m not sure what you mean by ‘blocked them’…I’m assuming you mean I’ve used stealth settings so my contacts see me as permanently offline? if so that’s not true, I have no one set like that and when I try to ‘appear online’ to only ONE individual it won’t always change. Maybe I didn’t make that clear in my original message but that’s what stealth settings are anyhow, when you’re using it for just one person.
to dmc2409: your problem is a bit different than what I was talking about which is definitely related to the different way we use Yahoo settings as Williamlee has pointed out.
has anyone else tried what I did, or gotten a friend to put them as permanently offline and then try to appear online to them in stealth mode? (while you’re inivisible of course)…maybe I can’t explain properly what I mean, sorry, I tried to be as clear as possible.
Strigoi, I’m pretty sure it does the same thing even if they have chosen to be permanently offline to you before they log in as invisible. Try it with a friend maybe.
I tried with my two id’s to see if the recipient actually can see you as online even though your own status does not change to ‘available (to 1 contact)’ and it worked.
As mentioned somewhere else in the forum, you can also do a two-step process, choose for the id to see you as permanently offline, and THEN choose for them to see you as online, which seems to change your own status indicator to what it should be.
I just thought I would point out that they really can see you the first time even though our id status does not indicate that. It’s nicer to see it though I think because sometimes you forget who you’ve made yourself visible to, etc.
And again, I find this problem only happens with some people on my list and I still believe it’s the people that have used their stealth settings so you see them as permanently offline. Just remember, they don’t hate you, if they did they’d delete you and then put you on ignore lol.
hi there, I noticed your problem is similar to a post I just made, where I think the reason you can’t become visible to someone is because they have chosen you to see them as permanently offline. I’m not positive but I suspect this and did a small experiment with 2 separate yahoo id’s and it seemed to confirm this to me. Then again it could just be a random yahoo problem, who knows lol. Just my two cents, not trying to make you paranoid or anything lol.
