"They appear offline even though they are online." What error messages do you get, if any, when enabling the debug window? "none, they continue to appear offline, even during an active chat." You need to provide the standard information for any bug report, e.g. versions, operating systems, instant messaging services, etc. "windows 7, pidgin 2.7.7, using AOL, MSN Live and Yahoo via pidgin." I think I have seen this sort of problem reported before, but is not in the top ten recent issues, and I haven't searched the main bug tracker for something similar. The last possible report was in Chinese, so there were problems communicating with the reporter. "Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps the issue is with the user I'm chatting with. They have their 'always offline' preference toggled for just me but again, no one else. The guy is a peer, and I'm not his boss so not sure why he would do this." > Please note that the information contained in this message may be > privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure. If the reader No it is not. Nothing posted to this public mailing list can ever be confidential. Crying confidential when it isn't may lead people to believe you didn't mean it when you did, but there was some doubt in the recipient's mind. -- David Woolley Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want. RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam, that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
