I have a question regarding messenger.  When I see a name highlighted doesn't that mean that person is online?

If your brother has DSL or Broadband, he could be logged on even if he's not in town...All the highlighted thing means is that the computer is online and messenger is engaged. Mine logs on as soon as I turn on my computer, I don't even have to sign in. He could have just forgotten to log off, then he would still have been online, but idle.  It's not great for the computer becuase spyware can get into the system, but a lot of people stay online almost all the time.

There isnt, unfortunately.  But you can go to your preferences in IM and determine who is allowed to see you when online.

I don't know what they used to have, but Yahoo! Messenger doesn't have this feature now, for user privacy. If it's really your friend, though, you can always just send an IM asking which room he's in.

It means that they are "signed on." Not necessarily in Messenger, but they could be looking at their Yahoo! Mail, playing a game or something else that requires them to enter their screen name and password.

go on your messenger and choose contacts, choose the message archive option just below the profile option and if u have it enabled it will tell you when it was logged on and who was talking, but if it's not enabled then you can't find that info out.

If you know their actual yahoo screen name, you can find it in their profile or on messenger.

If he im'd you he already has your name/id. But you can look in your messenger archives for his message, and reply to it from there.

Here's something you might want to consider, its a security program for messengers. Best of all its free. Once you get it set up then it asks if the person is allowed to connect to you messenger. You always have a little red body on you task bar along with the regular one. Goodluck.

The only thing i can suggest is clicking on your contact tab in messenger and then click on message archive. Once you do that, you can click on the id of the person who sent the offline message. If you don't know who sent the offline message, you may have to click on all of your contacts to find it.\n\nI haven't found an easier way to find offline messages once the box has closed.

Yes. Right click the persons name and select view message history or similar.

You can't. That's the point of it being 'invisible'.\n\nThat person can contact you if they want, and then you'll know they're on-line (that is - if you're not invisible...)

Depend on the version of your messenger. If you are using the latest version, it's easy. Move your pointer to a person's name who you like to appear offline to him, choose "you appear offline to this contact". Conversely, choose appear online to the contact you want yourself to be online to him.

Where do you get your information?  You say you're a messenger (in your profile).  A messenger of God?  Does He talk to you?\n\n[EDIT]  Why don't you use the "add details" key and put your answers to our questions here on the board - rather than privately e-mailing us?  You say (in your e-mail) you are a messenger of God with a lot of info we (people) need to know, but you're not specific.  What do we need to know?  Put your answer here on the board, please; your message will spread faster.  How can we take you seriously?!!

Ok, first off you need to make sure that you turn logging off in your Messenger, and then you go into your documents and under the FileLib look for the particular account,a nd thent he name of the person you talked to.\n\n\nIf this is someone you are not suppose to talk to, perhaps you should not talk to this person again.

I'm guessing you are talking about Messenger/chat jargon.  \n\nThat IS probably more annoying than using the cell phone, which was my first guess.

Alot of times the name they use to post on here is thier yahoo id..also some people have their e-mail address listed here on their profile which you can access by clicking on the face,avatar,or pic(depending on what they are using) above their name.\nGood Luck

you can try uninstalling and reinstalling yahoo messenger. And again adding the names this will most probably solve the problem.
