No contacts show up as online

Hi.
I have been using an @live.co.uk email address on windows Live for some time
now, without any trouble. However, in the last 3-4 days, when I sign into
Windows Live using my live.co.uk address, all my contacts show up as offline.
Sometimes you get the odd one showing online. While I've been signed on,
I've had contacts that my MSN is showing as offline message me, telling me
when asked, that they are online, and displayed as such.

If I sign into an old account, all the contacts show up fine, so its very
strange indeed.

Whats going on?

Nothing ... other then that it's a bug in Messenger that's been there for a
long, loooong time now :-(
It pops up so now and then ...
