In my testing:
- if both users are online and in their respective homes grids an IM
between them is *usually* but not always successful. In many cases when
I receive an IM from someone in either Metro or in OSGrid I have to tp
to their grid to be able to respond to it, even when they're online.
I've also been told that people have sent me an IM when I was online but
I never received it...this is a lot more likely to occur if I've been
HGed elsewhere and returned to my own grid so now any time I HG
anywhere I always log off, wait a couple of minutes, and then log in again.
- if both users are online and both in the same grid (even if it's a 3rd
grid) an IM will usually succeed
- if both users are online but the "target" of the IM is in a different
grid when an IM chat is initiated, it bounces back as though the HGed
user is offline and the message is never stored...to have an IM stored
for someone who is offline you have to HGTP to their grid and leave them
a message while you're there
- if both users initiate a conversation while in the same grid (or in
their respective home grids) and keep their IM chat boxes open, they can
often continue to communicate even when they subsequently both tp to
other different grids. As soon as the chat is closed they cannot resume
it and no messages are stored.
I assume the problem here is that as soon as you HGTP away from your
home grid it treats that as a log out (it doesn't track or monitor where
you are) so when an inbound IM comes into the grid it checks, sees
you're offline, and responds that way. I guess once an IM "session" is
initiated the two viewers know the target IP to send the messages to so
as long as the session remains open they're able to continue the
conversation no matter where they are. I would expect any undeliverable
IM to be stored as offline IM but for whatever reason they are
not...offline IM only works when the IM is initiated from within the
"target" user's grid. I also don't have the faintest idea why IMs
between myself and OSG/Metro users frequently seems to be so problematic
even when both of us are online in our home grids whereas I don't
encounter that problem with the majority of interactions with users in
other grids.

OfflineIM is broken for a long time on hypergrid. The message arrive

my own grid i have test it with. But it never get send to the avatar

BUT... if a sender on one grid tries to send an IM to a foreign grid

logged in.
Would we expect that to work and its a bug if it does not.... or
should it be made to work one day by using the offline IM mechanism
in the sender or receiver grids to pas it over to await the
recipient coming online?
In addition, I find that when both users are online, but not on their
home grid, IM often fails with that same message. That's just a hunch
though and I can't substantiate that claim with extensive test results.
There's all kinds of corner-cases like that. I've been meaning to try
and find out what combinations do and don't work, perhaps it would be
good to do this in a structured way. I have an inkling that there's more
involved than just being on a foreign grid or not, the settings of the
particular grids users are on seem to have something to do with it too.
That is, sometimes, IM's do work when both users are on a foreign grid,
but given another set of foreign grids it won't work..
