Some contacts not appearing online when they are

Hi, I have MSN Msgr 6.2 and Windows Msgr 5.1 and have about 5 out of 15
contacts who never appear online, even though they are online. The e-mail
addresses are definitely correct, they are not blocked and have not blocked
me, and I have tried deleting then adding them again.

Is there anything that might cause this?

I had 7 beta installed briefly, but am not sure if it was before or after
this problem started.

Thanks.

Greetings,

This has been known to occur in the past and the sole way to correct it is to "re-establish"
your relationship with the other person. To do so, simply have them Delete you on their
contact list and then you can Delete them on your list. Next, click the Tools menu, then
Options, then Privacy tab and make sure they don't appear in the Allow list (if they do,
right-click their name here and choose Delete). Then just readd them.
