Thank you dermot. You were right in that it was gone within an hour and a half. I had tried everything to clear it – exited the yahoo program, shut down my computer, log into another room with my primary ID and log out again – nothing worked.

I am currently using 7.5.0.819.

I appreciate the time you took to answer.

Cheers, Isa

Thank you scorp….I followed your directions for the column expander.

But as far as the “not scanned” status indicator, your experience is not mine. Until yesterday I had always received “online” or “offline” indications. I checked history and it seems to have gone awry at approximately 1:30 p.m. yesterday (eastern daylight savings time). I’ve checked directly with one of my contacts who is indeed online and still coming up “not scanned”.

unsakred!!!! are you out there??? is there a glitch?

cheers, Isa

Thank you Eagle. I had seen that site and unfortunately they don’t have the roll out I was looking for.

Gosh I love the BBB!!!! Everyone here is so helpful!!!!! I only wish I could return the favour. It seems all I do is pose questions….but someday, maybe, I’ll be able to assist someone too.

In the meantime, thank you for allowing me to be part of this wonderful community.

no William, it isn’t quite what I was wanting to know, but thank you so much for taking the time to answer with what you thought I was seeking.

I’ll try to explain in more detail…..

If I were to keep buddy spy up, as I’m doing now, keeping a running track, so to speak, of ONE contact, the message “not in chat”, shows up in the history log as blue at times, and red at other times. It does not alternate which is why I don’t think it has anything to do with ease of reading.

I’ve seen my question posted previously, but no one has answered. I even took a shot at writing directly to unsakred, but I’m sure he’s a very busy man. I never did hear back.

Again, thank you for your time, William.

Thank you, Fancy. You’ve been very helpful
