Posted: 4/18/2009 12:43:23 PM Hi ... i understand all the things you have posted about IM .. but my problem is different ... within the past week i have stopped seeing the "instant messenger" or "IM" (in green) below or by people's profiles ... instead ... it just says "online" ... both, as i browse and on my favorite's list ... i am trying to find out why ... my settings are all correct and i have no pop-up blockers running ... and my flash is updated ... the site just doesn't give me the green option any more ... how can this have anything to do with my settings??? ... i am trying to find out what has changed with your site that is causing this ... the only thing i am seeing anymore in green below the profiles and by profile is the word "online" ... i want to be able to see "IM" ... or "instant messenger" ... as before so i can contact my friend through instant messenger directly like before ... if i can't get this fixed i might as well go back to some of the other sites where i can use IM properly ... i love your site and don't want to give up on it ... so ... please help !!!!! ... thanks ...
