I don't appear online ???

[Yoshimax]

Been online on the 360 most nights this week but for some reason I show as offline to everybody - I've checked my online status and it's set to show online for both Messenger and Xbox Live but I only seem to appear online on Messenger.

Anybody experienced this ? I can invite/join games etc it just looks like I ain't been on in a while....

[Bleeders]

Thinking about it mate, have you tried recovering your account, see if that cures it?

[Yoshimax]

Nope - but there is an interesting point that last Friday my mate was over and we'd recovered his account to the 360 - I wonder if when he then re-recovered it himself it's buggered mine somehow ???

I'll give that a try tonight but it takes ages if you've a lot of games don't it ?

[Bleeders]

It shouldn't take too much of long time mate.

It shouldn't take too much of long time mate.

It`s not too bad but I recovered mine recently and it took 40 minutes!

I have done it other times though and it`s been nearer 20 minutes.

Phoned the monkeyline yesterday - after phonetically providing ever detail I could and getting somewhat exasperated with the (very nice) customer service agent I was told it was "not possible" for what is happening to happen.

Someone will call me back today........

I just noticed though - on my MSN via PC it says 3 people are on their 360's and I know fine well they're not - Looks to me like something to do with the connect between MSN and Live - I may disengaged auto-signin for MSN and try that.

I had an odd glitch yesterday where eveyone appeared offline even if they weren't. I showed up as online to others thouugh. Worked fine after signing out and in again.

Yoshi, have you tried changing your online status manually? Don't know if it'd make a difference but might be worth a crack.

It happened with a mate of mine. He'd set xbox.com to show him as offline -this overrides the local 360 settings. Done that?

[Jebus]

You sure it's not just certain people, cos I saw you online the other night playing Halo 3 (I think)...

I'm sure I haven't done that but it's probably worth checking out - nice one Soi

If anybody does see me online let me know but as far as I can tell whenever I'm on I appear offline to everyone.

[dataDave]

Same thing happened to me ages ago if you remember. I can't remember what the prob was but it took me a while to sort it out.

[Yoshimax]

I think Soi's nailed it - Just checked on xbox.com and the privacy setting was on "blocked" - very strange.......

Have changed it now so we'll see if I appear online later.

[Rossco]

I noticed you were online 2 nights ago I'm sure Yoshi, so that makes things even stranger if this has been happening for more than a few days!

[Paulos G]

I can see you on Xbox.com now Yoshi.

[Yoshimax]

Cheers Soi - That was really doing my nut in.

Stupid MS arses didn't phone me back within 48 hours either as they promised they would.

I want some ringdings as compensation you bastards !!!
