[WinMsg 4.7] Online contacts show as Offline



Some contacts show as Offline when indeed they're Online. Why is this?

1. One contact was still showing as Offline even while we were talking in a 3-way discussion. Another user had brought him into the conversation. I still showed him as Offline.

2. Another one I couldn't even contact other than email because he was showing as Offline. He's in the next room, and I know he was Online, as was I. We were both logged on and on each other's buddy lists. Why can't we see each other?

Would upgrading to Windows Messenger 5.1 solve this problem, or are there other things I should try?
