This problem applies to the stable version 1.3.0 and the CVS snapshot as
of 2005-03-11. Version 1.2.7 works fine.
My configuration is LICQ using Suse Linux 8.0 behind a Firewall with a
HTTPS proxy. I can connect normally and see all my online buddies just
fine. BUT - my buddies see me as offline, even if i am online. I can chat
with them anyway and it is one of them reported, that he receives a "user
is online" notification but my status stays offline. My buddies use LICQ
1.2.7 and Miranda.
Digging a bit around trying to localize the problem i noticed that while
chatting with my buddies every message send be *me* to one of my online
buddies creates a "user is offline - message gets transfered later"
warning by the server in the LICQ network log. They receive my message
immediately though.
The log shows no warnings/errors when i (successfully) login. Dont
hesitate to contact me if I can help to locate the bug (i suspect it is a
bug).

I think this is not the point/another point. (But this problem happens to
me also -> I gave up signing in as invisible)
The point here is: If you login as normal, in online-mode, some or all
users in your list won't see you online, except the users on you "visible-
list". One of my buddies (using ICQ Lite 5.1) told me, he received an
online note (not enabled by default) but I didn't went online. Even if I
send messages, which he receives, I still appear offline to him. After
adding him to my visible list I went online on his icq.
