I am tracking a Yahoo IM user's online/offline status. I am using several tracking tools which supposedly uncover when a user is hidden in stealth mode (xeeber.com, myspytool.com, and blockstatus.com). All of these tools show that the user is OFFLINE. My mobile phone also shows the user is OFFLINE. I have gone into other yahoo applications and there is NO yellow smilie next to the user, also indicating OFFLINE status.
But the yahoo.com homepage Yahoo Messenger panel shows that the user is logged in and ONLINE. It is the ONLY place that shows this status! I am referring to the appellet on the homepage of yahoo.com where if you are signed in, you can slide your mouse over the Messenger tab and see a list of your friends who are currently online.
Why would the yahoo homepage be the only place that shows this user is currently online? Even the tracking tools are confirming OFFLINE status!!!
Please help me understand how this is possible!
Yahoo IM Online Status confusion - please read details of question!?
i've had this same thing happen to me a few times before and the only i can think of to explain it is a glitch in the system. i've confirmed it once with a friend when she was offline but she was showing up as online on the yahoo web pages. weird!
