My boyfriend, whom I talk to on MSN the most, is online but appears offline
to me. I also appear offline to him. Neither of us has blocked and both of us
appear online to other people. This has appened to me before with another
contact. How do I make it so that he appears online again so I can speak to
him? Please, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Greetings Erin,

This can happen if the relationship between you and him is not properly established anymore.

To correct, delete him off your contact list, then have him delete you off his list. Then go
into the Tools menu, then Options, then Privacy category, right-click him and choose Delete
(if he hasn't removed you yet, it will appear as grayed out). After he's been removed from
your Privacy category, go back and readd him. This will essentially "re-establish" the
relationship between you and your contact in the
database.
