    Default How to show online at Skype in GPWA

    I decided to be online on Skype more often these days and wanted to be able to show my online status in the GPWA forum in case some people wanted to get a hold of me.

    I noticed most people have Skype but it shows they are offline - but in fact they are online.

    So i found out there is an option on SKYPE where you can set it so on the forums people can see if you are in fact online.

    Click in Skype - Tools - Options - Privacy -

    there is a section there "Allow my online status to be shown on the web" - you put a check mark there and click Save at the bottom.

    Now if anyone looks at your profile or posts they will see the Skype logo and it will show you as online or away or offline depending on your present state.

    It may be good for people to do this if you want to be more accessible - especially programs..

    If you find this useful maybe sticky it in another section for all to use!

    I see myself as offline often when in fact I am online on Skype, so I went to my settings as you suggest, but settings are correct.

    I think it happens after being inactive for a while, so what i do is, open Skype click on the "House" symbol which takes me to my Skype profile page or whatever it is, then I just close it again and refresh forum page and my profile show as online again, lol

    So, even if I have the settings as you suggest, I (and most likely others too) will still show as offline pretty often, which sucks.

    You can choose the setting - tools - general settings - and there is something "Show me as away when ive been inactive for (0).

    Check mark the box and put a value like 60 minutes. It will keep you online and avoid that i think. I know what you mean though i had that issue for a bit as well but i did this and it works so far.

    Also to note : your privacy setting will not allow me to view you or send a request. YO have a privacy block still

    RBS you just need to set your GPWA prvacy details set to Everyone - your contact details for it are not working.. maybe a GPWA prvacy block.

    If not maybe in your skype settings

    haha RAK... you got it buddy...

    your right clearing cookies does also help - i forgot to mention that. The system still is not 100% online but if you set away to show after 60 minutes.

    add the privacy setting and do all above it should work like a charm..

    We can all stalk each other.. LOL

    I am on skype with my i phone all the time so its going to be cool chatting with you folks on the phone once in a while.. LOL
