<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Just getting into a bit of iChatting
and I was wondering if anyone could explain the weirdness with my buddies
list.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So far I have 3 entries. This morning
I had 2 entries (yes, I make friends fast, eh ;-) and they were both greyed
out - meaning they are off-line right?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I then entered my newest buddy in the
list and he too was grey. The only way I could initiate a convo was to
use the "New Chat With Person" option in the File menu and enter
their name. I then had a chat session with the new buddy - still showing
grey in the list.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then, just after lunch, I saw one of
the other buddies was not grey. I then was able to start a convo by double
clicking on the name (from memory). But the other buddy from earlier was
still online and available for chat but he was still greyed out.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This means I can't initiate an audio
chat coz when I click on the phone icon it does NOTHING.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm using an AOL AIM screenname, does
that matter?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers,</font>
