the icon at the bottom right corner says i'm signed in when I'm not it is even the single green icon not the icon with the two people and the X

I have windows live messenger build 8.0.0792.00

Could you take a screenshot?

Print Screen > paste to paint > save > upload to forums

Do you get an error message? What happens when you try and sign in?

Edit: Hmm, thats weird. I just signed out and it has the single green 'buddy' and when I hover over it, it says signed in. Must be a bug?

yeah thats it does anyone know how to fix it?

yes, confirmed



btw, when I signed back in again, I got a "Welcome to Windows Live Messenger" screen (although i've disabled the live today popup in the preferences..)

Perhaps these things are somehow related to the connection problems..

Windows Live Messenger Feedback is the place to go.

I reported all the errors and stuff I been getting today

how dodgy, why has nobody noticed this yet

I get a similar problem on all 3 of my PCs where WLM will sometimes show the “Online” icon in the system tray even though I have it set to “Appear Offline”.
