I have added other people onto my msn, they are showing as offline on the contact list. However if i click on their name and start a conversation, i can talk to them and they can talk to me.

And if I sign into Windows messenger, I can then see them online. I just can't see them online on MSN messenger (latest version with MSN plus).

What is causing this and how do I fix it?

Have also tried removing msn plus, removed msn messenger live. Reinstalled Messenger Live.

Same problem still.

MSN Live does allow people to appear offline but they can still send and recieve messages (I do it sometimes)

I keep getting message windows pop up from Tinkerbell with nothin in them, it says shes typing a message but nothing ever appears :/ I PMed her about it and apparently shes ben getting the same thing from me :/

MSN is always messing about.
At the moment i have a name i cannot delete/remove. It tells me it cannot be removed at the moment try later.
Now the name is blocked every time i boot MSN up even though i have unblocked it. Can't be arsed to mess with it, poxy thing i only keep it as friends have it and my list is Huge.
What can you do though when you have been on for years and built a list of friends, you just have to keep putting up with its nonsence.
I went back to 4.7 ages ago as the new one is like a fairground to me.
tips tricks suggestions gladly taken. At least 4.7 is lite and free of the garbage.

Funny thing is, after putting the Beta on last night, which didn't solve the problem. So i gave up and went to bed, got up this morning and boot up and now it works !
