Help


I'm using msn messenger 7.5.0311, msgplus 3.61 andstuffplug. I havent seen this kind of problem unntil yesterday when one of my contact starts a conversation with me. on the contactlist he appears as offline although he is online. because of that i cant start a conversation with him unless he starts a conversation with me first. What can I do to fix this? He haven't blocked me or anything like that.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english

this happen quite often to me, when there is a dodgy connection or something to the server on my friends behalf, im not sure how to fix it though

Try disconnecting from MSN and reconnecting , by the way this is completely unrelated to Msgplus!

Hi
Thanks for the replys. I did try to reconnect but the same problem still appears. Maybe it is just a problem with the connection and not msgplus fault .

try asking them to re-connect to the service as well, as it is most likely a problem with their connection if its a problem with any connection

I've no idea how that could happen then maybe when someone who knows more about the MSN protocol comes on, they might be able to tell you

No problem. thanks for the help so far

Are you sure he's not just using the "Appear Offline" feature? He may have set it accidentally and doesn't realize it...

if you are appear offline you cant talk to contacts

Mabye the reason is just that msn is really dodgey?

Are they using stuffplug to send messages with an offline status?

OR DID YOU?

I wouldn't even bother trying to fix it, just wait untill the next versions of msn and messenger plus come out and see if they fix it.

msn has allways been dodgy, and they allways will, they might fix one error but there is bound to be ten more. Once I couldn't even log in without it signing me out three times.

very very few (in fact you could probably say no) programs are completely bug free, its just that microsoft's errors are always more widely known and publicised.

MSN is a great service, and works a dream 90% of the time

That still leaves 10% though, and that can be quite a lot depending on the size of a percent

its still 10% no matter how big the number is, but this thread is going offtopic, hows about bring it back on and try and help this guy with his problem

even though i dont think its one that can be solved, because its MS's problem

You could try deleting the contacts then readding them, that migh work, I don't know thgough cause I've never had a problem like this

stuffplug allows you to talk to people that you have blocked, not while you are appear offline. also i would think he'd have checked that before posting here..

OR DID YOU?

Erm trax had the same problem last night but it was only with my account. I saw a pic when im talking to him and messenger was saying he cant talk with me cause im offline (yet he could send me messages.

huh ?

i was having this aswell... signed in on another account and they were online so i signed out and back in on the original account i was using then they were there

i think everyone has it every once in a while, server glitches, etc

not alot can be done about it really

I have this problem now 3 days, everybody in my msn messenger contact list see me as offline. But I'am online.

I uninstalled my msn messenger, but after install i have the same problem. I can't get online.

I'm Using MSN Messenger 7.5.0311,    MsgPlus-354, and no kind of plugins.


Please can you help me what to do?

I'm also getting this problem, my contatcs sometimes see me as offline, or thier messages fail to send to me a hell of a lot.
Me and my gf have resorted to talking via email/AIM when we arnt with eachother irl =/
Its uber annoying

I'm guessing its a server problem, though it could possably to do with plus? Since so far I'm assuming everyone Ive seen thats had this problem also has plus installed and msn 7.5.xxxxx installed.

eph.

it wouldnt have anything to do with plus, it is a problem with the MSN SERVERS which has been said previously

Nice servers I must say.

it seems alot of people are having this trouble at the moment, so they must be having a fair bit of trouble with the servers, just have to wait it out. you cant expect it to be running completely right 100% of the time

Yep... having the problem here too - even when signed in through Webmessenger.  People keep saying to me, "Hey - you're offline!"

It's now on the home page of mess.be.  Their forums have banned discussion about it though because apparently it's considered "downtime" and they're not allowed to post about downtime.

it IS downtime so they are right to not be able to discuss it, and i suggest this thread (and the others like it) be closed because the same thing has been said over and over again, it is server glitches, and there can be nothing done about it, everyone posting about their downtime troubles does nothing to help the situation.
we know there is downtime, and server issues, we dont need to know every person who is having the issues
