How do I add an online status indicator to my weblog? I've had some (html) code on my website for some while (years) and it used to work but now it doesn't. It also isn't showing me as "online" on my Yahoo profile.
This is the code I've been using:
%26lt;a href="http://profiles.yahoo.com/sunny7L"...
Online Status: %26lt;a href="http://profiles.yahoo.com/sunny7L"... src="http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=sunny... alt="online status" /%26gt;%26lt;/a%26gt;
I've long since forgotten where I got this from. I'd appreciate it if someone could list an alternate code, that works.
(I have tried using IE7, Firefox and Opera but it shows the little greyed out smiley, even when I'm logged into IM and through yahoo.com. And, yes, I am listing myself as "available" and I have my privacy settings set to allow websites to show my status.)
Online Status?
the website you got it from is perhaps yahoo's own online presence page at...
http://messenger.yahoo.com/addpresence.p...
and the code looks kinda different to what you have posted above... but as you mentioned you have had it some time things could well have changed a little since you obtained it :)
I can't really post mine as an example as Answers kills it off due to length but if you check out the page link posted above you should be able to obain a working version for your ID
one thing I would say though is that the online status indicators are a bit fickle at times... so if you have the recommended code and your settings are as they have always been I wouldn't go breaking my sanity trying to work out what's gone astray as chances are it's an issue on yahoo's side not yours :) My online status is fickle at the best of times... it generally works where I have placed my code but not on any yahoo services pages (like profiles etc)
best of luck :)
