Contactws showing offline

I've been using live messenger for a long time. This morning all my contacts
are showing offline when they are online. I restarted the app, my pc,
uninstalled, reinstalled. Same issue. Using rev. 8.5 1302.1018

Re: Contactws showing offline

Is it perhaps that the contacts have selected to appear offline?

No, I have a second computer showing them online. I have also made sure there
are no changes in my norton settings. It is set to "allow" for messenger.

Re: Contactws showing offline

This bug has been around for a long, long time ... peaople who are online
appear as offline ... I have myself set to Online yet others don't see mee
.... it happens to me and many, many other people ... and writing to MS WLM
support doesn't help because they just do not react ... too busy or just
arrogant, don't know ...
