Hey all, hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I was wondering if anyone new for sure anything about this question~On yahoo, if you log into yahoo messenger only, can you see from personals that the person is online, or has been online? Or in order for the personals to update activity, does one actually have to log into that only? Hope that was clear enough, kind of hard to explain, but I'm hoping someone has a good answer or some insight.

Thanks!

If you log on to Messenger, and don't choose the option of showing yourself as "invisible", then you will appear as "online now" to people viewing your profile on Yahoo Personals, even though you're not actually in Yahoo Personals. However, your activity date on your personals profile will not update unless you actually go into Yahoo Personals.

Does that answer your question?

Sheri~Yes it sure does. Exactly my question! Thanks for the info. I'm kind of new to the online dating thing and all these new things on different sites are so time consuming and are giving me a headache. I think that all sites should be the same and that would make it so much easier! Thanks for explaining!
