Ron, Well part of that was correct, but most of the IM you received is wrong.
First let me warn you a little about yahoo messenger. People send you IM's telling you to click here to see this, and download this if you want to see what people are on your other friends lists. But all they want you to do is click on a link and download a program so they can steal your name, or get into your computer. Be very very careful about clicking and downloading ANYTHING when it comes to chat. Even if it comes from someone on your friends list, it could be that your friend got their name taken, and the person who took it then sends a mass pm out to everyone on that list (including you) to try to get more people's names. This is called Massing. Ok back to your original question. There is NO way to see WHO your friends are talking to There is NO way to see WHO is on your friends/buddy's lists However, there are program that will tell you if that person is online or offline, regardless if they are invisible or not. I hope this helps. --- In [email protected], Ron Walters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm serving in Iraq right now and don't get to talk with my family much so this Yahoo IM has been a real blessing. I'm new to how IM works other then sending a IM to someone in your buddy list, then I recieved a IM that says in part.....that you could see who in your buddy list is online and who they are talking to, and who is in thier buddy list, that sounds so cool but I don't know how to set it up or even if it's real.
