Checking if your friend is online
After adding a friend you will see their Yahoo!® ID and a small icon (face) appear in the main messenger window (see fig 1.1 below).
After adding a friend you will see their Yahoo!® ID and a small icon (face) appear in the main messenger window (see fig 1.1 below).
 | If your friend is offline (not connected or hasn't given permission yet for you to add them to your list) then the Yahoo!® ID and small face icon will be similar to that in fig 1.1. If your friend is online and they have accepted you as a friend then the small face icon and name will appear like helpwithpcs_friend in our example below (fig 1.2).  In other words when your friend is online and available the face will be brighter and smiling and the Yahoo!® ID will be in bold letters. Also notice your status (pointed out in fig 1.1), by default (unless changed) it is set to I'm Available, this means that if you are on someone else's friends list then they can see you are online and contact you if they wish. Your status can be changed to Unavailable by clicking on the small arrow next to your status, this would make it appear that you are offline but you can still receive messages. |
