A couple days ago, something happen with my AIM screenname (fueledbyadam). I'm able to sign on fine and IM anyone on my buddy list without a problem. The problem is that no one else can see that I'm online. They can IM me and I can respond if they go to send a message and type in my name, but even then it still shows that I'm offline.
I've tried everything I can think of in all the settings. I've used AIM on my sidekick, through iChat on my mac, through AIM on my mac, through AIM.com on both a mac and a pc and through the latest version of AIM on a pc. Everything is set to allow everyone to talk to me. I've cleared out my 'blocked users' list. AIM on PC has an 'invisible' option that I thought might be the cause when I saw it, but hasn't changed anything. I've set away messages, set invisibility, unset them, signed on and off, signed on in multiple places, restarted, powered off, etc.
Nothing seems to be changing anything. Other screennames I've tried work fine...invisibility turns on and off, away messages work, and the privacy settings work.
If anyone has any idea of something I may be missing or has had this same thing happen, I'd greatly appreciate the help. You can reply here, email adam@fueledbyramen.com or IM me at fueledbyadam (even though I won't show up as online). Thanks a lot!
