buddy shows offline on list, but online in profile

[OnlyTime22]

okay....I've done all the searching I can...and am lost. I have a friend on my yahoo buddy list---however he appears offline, however, when I click on his name and go to show profile, he appears online!?!? I'm very confused!! can anyone please help???


also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I roll the mouse over my screen name it says I appear online to 6 contacts and offline to 1 contact. Could I have somehow made him appear permenantly offline??

any help would be greatly apprecited!!!

Thanks,
T

Possibly has you set to see them offline and profile setting to show their real status

Don't be confused, we are here to help! Well maybe your buddy is online but in "invisible" mode. He/She appears online in the public profile page maybe because the option "Check the box to hide my online status () from other users" was left unchecked.

. It seems you have put a particular contact to see you as offline? Using "stealth settings", you can configure your Y!M to let others see you as offline or online.
