How to detect invisible Yahoo Messenger users

< < View Comments The process of detecting invisble yahoo messenger users is pretty simple and can be used by anyone with little computer knowledge. Its a DIY (Do It Yourself) and so you don't need to download any softwares or any programs! To check the status of your yahoo messenger buddies just follow these simple steps: Sign in to your Yahoo messenger Sign in to your Yahoo messenger. See who is online and who appears offline. In my case it appeared only 4 of my friends are online. Out of them 2 were signed into their respective mobile devices. Note: Upgrade your messenger. Get the latest yahoo messenger with voice! Go to Yahoo Open the all new yahoo homepage.
Locate the widget
Just below the header in the right hand side of the home page locate this block.
Sign in to your Yahoo account
Move your mouse over 'Messenger'. Did you see the animation? Yup, the default buddy icon removing the mask and revealing himself. NOTE: Previously we used to see this screen which is now replaced. Now sign in using your yahoo username and password.
Check the status, see who is hiding
After you are redirected to the yahoo homepage, move your mouse over 'Messenger' to see how many of your friends are really online (including the ones signed in to his mobile device with status I'm on SMS) and how many are really offline. In my case I found 6 of my friends were online though my messenger showed 4 !! So its pretty simple to understand 2 were trying to hide from me i.e. they are in invisble mode!! Also note that using this built-in feature you can check your inbox from the MAIL tab (note the tab that says 1 New), tune in to a radio station, check your local weather, find a local address or even check your horoscope! Isn't that great?
