Are you using MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger? What version?
You can check the version number by going to Help > About Messenger

The reason why you appear offline to your contacts (and to yourself, since you've added yourself) is because of a bug in the Messenger protocol which still exists. Many people have experienced this. All you can do is sit it out.
Search before you post.

This is a Messenger problem not a Messenger Plus! problem. There is also no relation between installing or reinstalling Messenger and the bug. It can occur from time to time to anyone.

Sorry but i do not quite understand you. Are you saying after contacting microsoft, they gave you instructions that solved the problem? If so can you explain and share what are they?

Hi, would you mind posting what support told you to do?
I'm having a huge problem with this the last couple days and would love to fix it.

I've also had this problem, for 3 days now. I jus want to ask, to those of you who've had it dissapear simply by waiting, how long did you wait?
And also, posting the fix (if any) would be sick

Thanks SeteMares for your pm. For everyone affected, here's the translation of his pm to english, corrected by me to make more sense.
quote:
If you are still able to exchange messages instantaneously with contacts, but appears in the offline status to them, wait for 30 minutes so that the temporary inconveniences of the server are solved. You can continue exchange messages with contacts during this time.
I don't think it works for me simply by waiting though.
