O.P. I don't get it...
Hello...
OK, this is what confuses me. Tonight, I am online and someone who I usually talk to on messenger isn't online and hasn't been all night. After I left the computer for a while, when I came back, this person had messaged me but his status was offline. I even talked to this person with his status reading "offline" and his messenger guy was in red saying he was offline. I don't get it!! How could I talk to someone who appears to be offline? His status never changed either. It's just saying he's offline. What's that all about? Does anyone know??
Thanks very much, and I hope someone can help me out with this.

RE: I don't get it...
There is StuffPlug-NG2, a plugin for Messenger Plus! 3.40 (beta), that allows people talking offline (actually, they just block you and talk to you that way). Maybe he was using that.

Also, due to server problems, sometimes people appear offline for a long while.

Hope that helped you out.

Edit: by the way, if you are interested in the plugin, you can download it from the StuffPlug site, this plugin has many more features than that one. :)

If the person is not using anything, it's just a server problem. As you may know, Microsoft is having a few problems in the server and is trying to fix it. (Y)

This is a server issue, that happened yesterday, signing in on an account, was messed sometimes, you couldn't see the other person, or the other person didn't see you, server troubles that caused today's downtime.

Thanks for all the replies. I want to add that this person couldn't believe that he was appearing offline to me. He was online but he couldn't even understand how he was appearing offline to me. O well. Not a big deal.
