What does it mean when there is no red chat text next to a person's user name? Page 1 of 1    
When you click Inbox - there is a list of online users - sometimes there is a red chat and other times there is not. What does it mean and why is this not in the general faq and why can't I find an answer to this question without reading a 1000 forum posts? Thanks, H

already checked the faq and there is nothing

simple question: why does the red 'chat' appear next to a user name (within the inbox) and at other times, it is not available?

5 bucks to anyone that can answer within an hour


Read the above post!

People are able to turn on and off their IM/Chat at will. Either they have it on or they have it off. Takes two seconds to change status.

Keep your five bucks.

I will keep the five bucks because so far the info wasn't worth 2 cents.

Very few people change their chat status at will. Too many clicks.

There is something automated here and I'm trying to figure it out. Why can't I get a straight answer?

...still waiting for an intelligent answer...


Try actually reading the prior supplied posts and the link given you, as it is in the FAQ

People here are not obligated to help you, so try to be patient. Also you didn't describe your problem in enough detail to get an 'intelligent answer' from the folk that have tried to help you.

Anyway, I'll try to guess what you mean too...

If Chat's not showing on the Inbox next to their name and you're sure they have the realtime chat feature enabled -- it's quite simple -- they're offline! Sometimes also it takes the system a while to catch up and remove the 'Chat' next to their name when they've signed out, so you can end up attempting to chat to people who have already logged out in the past few minutes.
