SyncopatorMember
Thank you Gareth. Much obliged.
SyncopatorMemberEr, yes.
But where, exactly, in the registry?
It’s a big place and I don’t know my way around it.
SyncopatorMemberOk, that sounds promising at least.
Further to my last point , re the new contact, in my last post, The person gave me their email address so that I could initiate the request. That worked, insofar as we both had each other listed in our contacts, but, again, I could see they they were typing messages although none appeared in my my message window.
The window displayed all the bells and whistles and my photo.They then initiated a request again using another account/name. This time it works properly both ways. My message window, however, has everything but Plug-ins greyed out and doesn’t show my photo!
SyncopatorMemberHello Doris and thank you.
I don’t know yet what version that contact is using. I shall try to press for an answer.
Communication on Yahoo Msgr between us used to be ok. We haven’t been in contact for a while, though, and this particular problem started when we recently tried to talk again.
There had been ocasional difficulties before, which we put down to having different versions, but nothing as severe as this.I have only 5 contacts on my list. I haven’t spoken to 2 of them for many months but we didn’t have problems as far as I remember. I don’t have problems with the other 2.
When I right click and open up a message window for any of the other 4, even though they’re not on line, I get the complete window with all the facilities and my photograph presented.
Another problem which I overlooked mentioning is that within the last day or so someone asked to add me to their contact list. I acknowledged, saying ok. Their name was added to my list pending their acceptance – with the smiley greyed out. The next time I logged in, that contact had disappeared from the list. The person informs me that I am still on their list.
What did Alice say? “Peculiarer and peculiarer”, or something ……
Regards,
David
SyncopatorMemberWhen trying to talk to one of my contacts I can see my own messages in the main window. I can also see that the contact is typing a message but they never appear.
The list of available facilities, with the exception of Plug-ins, is also greyed out and my photograph doesn’t appear bottom right.The message window for my other contacts displays the full list of facilities and my photograph does appear – and I can read their messages too.
Can anyone help please?
I should have mentioned that I am using version 8.1.0.421 and XP2 + SP2 + critical updates.
SyncopatorMemberYes, of course, Yahoo Answers. Thank you Dermot.
SyncopatorMemberThank you, that was useful.
SyncopatorMemberHello and thank you Eagle_Kiwi.
I have noticed many short-term anomalies in various Yahoo things. This one, though, seems, according to the corresondence in that other thread, rather more tenacious.
I have changed my settings a couple of times and as long as I log on in Available mode my status is displayed correctly on my web site’s indicator. But it should come as no surprise to hear that it doesn’t change when I subsequently change to Invisible to Everyone!
A bit like the cat hiding behind a curtain … with his tail is sticking out!
At least I now have the satisfaction of knowing why the indication was stuck at off line and I shan’t lose any sleep about it.
Sorry to have missed you when you tried to call earlier. I was in the arms of Morpheus. I shall try to contact you.
Best regards.
SyncopatorMemberI normally have my privacy setting to log in as Offline (invisible to everyone) and then change it to Available later.
After reading bluesforsuze’s thread “See who has you as permanently offline” I thought that the two problems may be related in some way.
I changed my privacy setting to log in as Available and the status indicator on my site now works correctly. Or at least partly.
If I then change my status to Invisible the indicator still says on line, even after a screen refresh.
SyncopatorMemberThank you William.
Well, I haven’t changed my browser since installing the code so I don’t suspect it per se.
I have Firefox installed too but seldom use it. But I did check with that and my status is still always shown as off line.
